I am not understanding how you say you ran a cluster when you were using a managed instance so you weren’t really running it. Now , going to a VPS makes you effectively the MSP. I don’t see how that addresses the LTS issues since k8s is updating so often that you have to keep pace with the updates (that you now need to do).
I use a managed instance and manage my own private instance.
You do understand, please don’t use that rhetorical device here.

They're not saying they moved to running k8s on a VPS - they're saying they moved to using a VPS instead of k8s (i.e. have escaped the k8s upgrade cycle).

By using terraform docker provider or something else? Like Nomad?
It's mainly good for keeping high paid people employed, not keeping your servers stable.
I ran a cluster 1.5 years in production, took me so much energy. Especially that one night where digital ocean managed cluster forced an update that crashed all servers; and there was no sane way to fix it.
I'm back to stability with old school VPS; it just works. Every now and then you run a few patches. Simple & fast deploys; what a blessing.
