I'm a big fan of K3s, however managed Kubernetes from a large cloud vendor with a track record has a lot to offer when it comes to reducing management and the need for an SRE for K8s itself.

Folks might also be interested in two free resources:

1 - K3sup https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup - the author mentions HA K3s - K3sup is an easy way to get that using SSH. It's also a good pairing for K3s with Raspberry Pi 2 - Kubernetes at the Edge with K3s (CNCF / LF course) - I was commissioned to write this and I talk a lot about the differences and also the origin story of K3s and what Darren was aiming for.

Have fun with Kubernetes - whichever flavour you go for.

For those like me who are a great deal fainter of heart than the author, there's always k3s [1] (installed e.g. via k3sup [2]) to take care of the "hard" Kubernetes part, at least until something breaks, though I've been lucky so far. Will run great on a Pi 4 and decently well on a 3/3+. The only big issue I've had so far was finding 32-bit armv7 images (I'm running Raspbian; I hear Ubuntu can do 64bit just fine), most projects only ever publish arm64 ones.

The k3sup project [1] takes this a step further and makes installing k3s even easier. k3s has been the most useful piece of infra I run at home. It gives me all the benefits of k8s with none of the complexity.
