As Kubernetes matures more cost savings and optimization endeavors are popping up – and this will only grow with wider K8s adoption. Specifically in this issue we have K3s.io and KubeADM-AWS; in addition to some general K8s knowledge and a neat little kubectl plugin by the name of rakess. I welcome you to dive in and enjoy!

Ever wanted to run K8s on AWS for $3-6 a month? Now you can with this handy config; whether it will handle your workload is another question entirely.
