> Kubernetes is up to 80% cheaper compared to PaaS like Heroku
What do the authors ever mean? How so? The smallest k8s cluster that makes sense has 3 nodes. This means you need to run at least 3 VMs and pay for everything else you need (storage, secrets, egress). And on some cloud providers like AWS, you pay an extra hourly fee just for the privilege of using k8s (that amounts to around $70 last time I checked). So the above statement makes no any sense.
