k3s

K3s is a lightweight Kubernetes distribution by Rancher Labs intended for IoT, Edge, and cloud deployments.
Pricing:
- Open Source
If you're forced to use Kubernetes and don't use the cloud managed (and vendor locked) variety, then consider something like K3s or even RKE with either Rancher or Portainer. You'll make your own life more tolerable. And don't get caught up in running software that's too complicated either: Caddy or even just Nginx with Certbot (or the Kubernetes variety of it) will be fully sufficient for ingress with SSL/TLS in most cases. NFS will be good enough for sharing files across multiple pods as well and so on...

The tooling around Docker Swarm is also pretty good and minimalist, for example, you can use Portainer (which also supports Kubernetes), much like you would use Rancher for easy administration of clusters.

Kustomize

Kustomize is an intelligent Kubernetes native configuration management software that comes with the manifestation to add, remove, or update configuration options without the need for forking.

All of the versions of the Compose specification are far simpler and easier to use when compared to Kubernetes manifests; there even isn't a single page that gives examples for making Kubernetes manifests like the link for Compose (the API docs are the closest thing AFAIK) and tools like Kustomize and Helm exist just to deal with this overcomplication.

Automatically enable HTTPS on your website with EFF's Certbot, deploying Let's Encrypt certificates.

Kompose

Go from Docker-Compose to Kubernetes with a simple tool
Pricing:
- Open Source
And in my mind, that's what most deployments out there need, at least before hitting a limit and then easily migrating over to K3s with something like Kompose. That way you'd also be sure that you're not relying on the actual orchestrator too much, but just use it as a tool, instead of building your entire infrastructure around it.
