How? Their single core instance is like $25/mo, it took me months to burn through it

GKE in particular has a very high overhead cost per cluster. That's the only reason I bothered learning kOps and Terraform.

That is incorrect. It costs $75/mo and they give you that as credit. Also why use gke if you’re trying to learn kubernetes? Single instance kubeadm cluster is perfectly fine for that purpose (even better)

If you roll your own cluster without GKE, I believe you have to configure your own load balancers, ingress controllers, etc. Having some of that ready to go out of the box allows you to learn Kubernetes concepts more gradually.
