k8s is raw technology like linux kernel. You shouldn't use it directly which will be hard to maintain. There are bunch of packaged solutions around k8s like Google GKE or AWS EKS. By leverage them, you'll be working on a higher level of abstraction and bring productivity back.

What's the best package for running in-house?

Rancher labs have a wide offering that has worked well for me. I’m currently running a couple K3S clusters on an array of Rock64 sbcs and have used the „real“ rancher distro for a while too with no problems. But I’m hardly an expert regarding the k8s on prem market so there might be even better ones!

Not sure about your use case but you could have a look at Minikube:

I assume GP means Rancher (not a recommendation for nor against) or similar.

I’m only on the start of my k8s journey but I’m finding typhoon a nice option for on prem currently.

OpenShift is pretty neat!
