There’s actually even a hobbyists guide for running kube yourself: https://github.com/hobby-kube/guide
And there’s a few guides for setting it up automatically in vagrant, or on aws, or on Juju-managed clouds.
Sadly, Kube is very barebones – only doing scheduling, if you add a storage provider such as portworx (only block storage) or rook (block and object storage) you also gain that, but it doesn’t do any user auth functionality.
That’s something I’m atm still searching for, something allowing me to easily register and remove users, add them to groups and do RBAC, but without using ldap as backend, and with a way to get it working with OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0, as well as with Shibboleth, Kerberos, and an LDAP compatibility layer (but with app-specific passwords there).
On the other hand, Google will run your Kube for free up to 5 nodes.
