Ask HN: Is Kubernetes the only alternative for being cloud agnostic?

We have ansible playbooks that we wrote leveraging some of the ansible-galaxy stuff, and they do the same thing either on-prems or in cloud. I would say we're pretty cloud native, we follow best practices and deploying something to a cloud provider or internally is the same thing.

Our level of abstraction is containers, we don't use services that cloud providers sell, for example, Lambda, as they are very cloud provider specific. We prefer to use technologies like RabbitMQ which can be deployed on any cloud or on prems easily.

OKD is the open source (RedHat, (IBM)) OpenShift, which wraps kubernetes ; sort of like AWX : https://github.com/openshift/okd

> [OKD] Features: A fully automated distribution of Kubernetes on all major clouds and bare metal, OpenStack, and other virtualization providers;

Single-node OpenShift 4 requires at least 16GB of RAM and 8 vCPU : https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/single-node-openshift-manufac...

> Single node OpenShift offers both control and worker node capabilities in a single server and provides users with a consistent experience across the sites where OpenShift is deployed, regardless of the size of the deployment.

MicroShift requires 2Gb of RAM on e.g. an ARM64 Raspberry Pi 4 or similar SBC: https://microshift.io/docs/getting-started/

So container first, deployed to vm or PaaS?

Are you clustering the rabbit?

Deployed to VMs, internally vmware, outside whatever they have (e.g: EC2)
