I'm not personally trying to gatekeep kubernetes, everyone should do what works for them. However, if I'm putting my professional credibility and/or my sleep schedule on the line, I would not advise anyone to do this.

Even at home, I run stuff that needs to be highly available enough that I wouldn't go this route when there are better options.

I'd love to hear about your HA solution for things like this.
I should blog about it but it's essentially two things

1) "A lot" of nodes, (1 42U rack is one cluster, with battery backup and redundant switching)

2) Hybrid cloud, a few nodes of this particular cluster run in GCP (kind of cheating :P)

Okay, well you’ve still not highlighted was is the preferred method here, since even with a 42u rack and a cluster in GCP, you still wouldn’t run kubernetes
