My friend and I built a service with the hopes of making Kubernetes more easily available to beginners. Currently we are primarily targeting developers who want to deploy simple web applications.

Two shortcomings that we are aware of and working on: - Persistent storage - Custom domains

Once we get those, we think the service will be incredibly valuable to people wanting to learn Kube or needing to deploy a web app without having to jump through the hoops of setting up a cluster on one of the big cloud providers.

Can you clarify how this is different from DOs k8s offering (and other similar services). Thanks!

Primarily, its free. DO is excellent, but still charges a minimum of $10/mo (their minimum is a single node with 2gb / 1vcpu) and requires a credit card to get started.

We are aiming for absolute simplicity for beginners who otherwise wouldn't have tried Kubernetes; for example, people who are currently running a few personal projects on a single $5 droplet. Our app gets you set up with one click via github auth, and you should be able to deploy your personal projects on Kube for free now.
