Is there a reason these aren't just in the native package managers? Licensing? It blows my mind I can't install a RHEL-alike and run `dnf install kubernetes` and just, like, have what I need. Sure, maybe I have to pick a container runtime, fine. This is even more astonishing when you realize Fedora CoreOS has no actual RPM for kubernetes even though it is ostensibly a container hosting OS. How do I let rpm-ostree run wild and keep kubernetes at a compatible version?

The installation steps for Kubernetes and the rest of the ecosystem like minikube and helm are all essentially `wget install.sh | sh`. What am I missing? How do people do this in production environments?

Some major Linux distros do ship with official k8s packages. For instance, Ubuntu even dedicates an article on how to deploy multiple k8s choices.

That only has options to install microk8s with snap.
