Yes! Hi Eddie, I'm Kingdon we met at RailsConf :D

I've been using Kops with Digital Ocean for some time on-and-off, comparing it to the new managed offering which I've been using in limited release, and it works great (either way).

The main disadvantage of Kops being (besides that it's Alpha only, and not managed), I will pay for all of the nodes I use. It should be clear that managed k8s offers a direct cost savings pretty much everywhere it's offered.

(It would be clear, if AWS was not currently leading the broader market and offering EKS with a price model basically contradicting every other vendor's.)
