About this Gig
Looking for a lightweight Kubernetes cluster that doesn't cost a fortune? I deploy production-ready K3s on AWS at a fraction of EKS prices.
K3s gives you full Kubernetes power with 50% less memory usage. Perfect for startups, side projects, and anyone who wants Kubernetes without the EKS bill.
What you get:
K3s cluster installed and configured on your AWS EC2 instances
Ingress controller (nginx) with SSL/TLS via cert-manager
Your app containerized with Docker and deployed to the cluster
Zero-downtime rolling updates configured
Basic monitoring setup
Complete documentation of everything I did
Why me:
I run my own production app on K3s for $1.50/day. Two availability zones, automated deployments, no manual SSH. I know this stack because I use it daily.
Requirements: AWS account with EC2 access, your application code or Docker image.
Note: AWS infrastructure costs are separate and billed by Amazon, not me.

FAQ
Why K3s instead of EKS?
K3s uses half the resources and costs 60-70% less. For most apps, you get the same Kubernetes features without the EKS control plane fees.
Do I need to provide the servers?
Yes, you need an AWS account. I'll handle everything else - instance setup, K3s install, networking, and deployment.
What if my app isn't containerized yet?
No problem. I'll create the Dockerfile and containerize your app as part of the deployment.
Can you migrate my existing app to K3s?
Yes. Share your current setup details and I'll plan the migration.
