@andrew Even just the pod sounds pretty expensive for what it is
@ericflo That's the base cost of compute these days. Only way to solve that is to jump to another platform, which is trickier.
@andrew True! This is why I always use super generic kube resources and not GKE-specific ones. I moved from GKE to a self-hosted microk8s cluster a few years ago, feels great to have leverage over the cloud provider and be able to move when needed. IMO the big benefit of k8s.
@ericflo Totally, the only line in my manifests that is GKE-specific is the static IP for the ingress service.
I might have to consider self-hosting, but object storage is still something I like having a cloud provider do.
