These are the #Cheapest #Kubernetes VPS options for self managed Kubernetes setup. For a self hosted Kubernetes, you need a #Cloud server with minimum of 2vCPU and 2GB RAM.

Please note that this is purely for self hosted Kubernetes setup not a managed K8s engine like Google Engine, Azure or AWS. In this scenario you will install and manage all the components yourself.

It could be for learning purposes or for even a production environment. Watch the video to see the Cheap Cloud VPS I recommend for your Kubernetes setup.

On a serious production, I would recommend you go with the Vultr Kubernetes Engine or Linode Kubernetes engine since both will only charge you for the servers and not the Kubernetes engine.

Hi and welcome to this video. In this video we want to see which platform you can use if you’re trying to run Kubernetes on your own. When Kubernetes is in a self-managed environment, normally you should have like 2GB of ram and 2 vCPU.

In this video let’s see some of the cheap cloud or affordable VPSs that you can use to save costs. If you run Kubernetes on a platform like AWS, it is going to be so much more expensive than running it on a VPS.

One of the first VPSs that you can look at is Contabo. The link for all the VPSs will be in the description. You can look at each of them.

If you come here under cloud VPS you’re going to see that you have the cloud VPS. You have the cloud VDS and you also have storage. Of course you’re interested in the VPS or the VDSes. VDSs are usually more expensive than VPS’s . You want to start with the VPS if that is what is within your budget.

If you come here on the cloud and you click on VPS you’re going to end up on this page. You can see the different offers that you get. With Kubernetes they usually recommend that the lowest server resource should be like two virtual CPUs and 2 gb of ram. You can see that even the smallest Contabo plan surpasses that. You’ll get 4 virtual CPUs and 8GB of ram. It’s important to note that these are shared resources whereby the virtual CPU will be shared with other people on the server, but Kubernetes will still see that your server has enough features for Kubernetes features to be installed and run on that server.

Looking at the dashboard for Contabo. If you come in here you’re going to see your dashboard. This is the Contabo Dashboard. You can do different management tasks here on Contabo.

Let’s move on to Hetzner now. You can install your Kubernetes on Hetzner. This would probably be my first choice. If you come here under cloud these are the VPS offers that you get on Hetzner. Just click on cloud and you’re going to see the different offers that Hetzner Cloud has.

If I click on prices you’ll see that they do have the standard which are basically shared VPS . Like this other ones they are shared. And also on this end you can click on VDS to see the prices. They start at 49. On the standard plan you’d probably start with this. You can start with this which has 2GB of ram and 2 vCPUs. You can see that is 4.75 euros.

If you want dedicated resources where there won’t be any sharing with your neighbors on the server you can come here under dedicated. You can see the prices for this start at 23 euros and you’ll get 8GB of ram and 2 virtual CPUs. You can select that here.

Going back to Contabo let’s look at the VDS as well. This is just the same as as the dedicated resources from this side. So on this side you’ll get dedicated instances whereby you’ll have 24 GB of ram and three virtual CPUs but this will not be shared. Okay. It’s very important to note that these are not shared. The other ones are shared. If you’re looking for a powerful VPS and you don’t want it to be shared you can start with something from there. These are really really tremendous resources that you get here, definitely value for your money on this other end. You can compare with that.

Let’s go to the dashboard of Hetzner so that you can see what it looks like. On Hetzner when you log in you’re probably going to end up on a different windowfrom me. But you can come up here. Up here you can go to the different services that are provided by Hezner.
