If you go with a provider that provides the control plane for free, which is the way Google Cloud and Digital Ocean do it (and probably many others), a single node cluster is actually a valid cluster. It won't have redundancy / High Availability which is Kubernetes' raison d'ĂȘtre, but it works well. If so, Kubernetes is no more expensive than non-Kubernetes. In the case of Digital Ocean, $10/month.
