> Kubernetes is simply too resource-intensive to run on a $10/month VPS with just 1 shared vCPU and 2GB of RAM
I hate sounding like an Oracle shill, but Oracle Cloud's Free Tier is hands-down the most generous. It can support running quite a bit, including a small k8s cluster[1]. Their k8s backplane service is also free.
They'll give you 4 x ARM64 cores and 24GB of ram for free. You can split this into 1-4 nodes, depending on what you want.
