The last company I worked for was essentially finance bros who had a no-code investment solution but wanted to sprinkle ML on top to get clients. Suddenly it needed to be able to run air-gapped on prem. Oh also on Ali cloud in china. Oh also on GCP and AWS hybrid. Business promised the clients it was ready before we even started building. 90% of the team was under 25. We tried our damned hardest. Used K8s to make the whole thing platform agnostic. It worked but it cost a lot. Business people are the worst.

Isn't a single binary the best fit in this case? Telling clients they need to build up a kubernetes cluster (especially in finance) won't always be the easiest decision.
Sounds like the exact use case for OpenShift.
i dont think there's any use case for openshift
use case: "I would like to use Kubernetes but I also would like a monkey to occasionally come out of a cage and hit my balls with a hammer"
Open shift : an unstable trailing-edge version of Kubernetes with too much security to the point of wasting everybody's time. Or so says my team which is still recovering from that unmitigated disaster ...
Sounds like the are looking for Qovery
