Deploy on prem Kubernetes. What is the best approach paid and unpaid to deploy a cluster on premise with burst to azure/aws? The only need is the ability to have some static pods. I do have a preference for free/open source solutions.

If you define "burstable" as creating new nodes in the cloud: Can be achieved with the Machine Controller Manager that is also internally used by Gardener: https://github.com/gardener/machine-controller-manager. You would have a MachineDeployment CRD for different cloud providers that can be scaled just like a K8s deployment and creates cloud provider VMs underneath. (also scale to 0 is possible for certain providers) .

I just stumbled upon this project a while back and don't have experience with it, so I don't know how well it works and what caveats you may face, but there's Virtual Kubelet, which aims to do just that, i.e. running a virtual Kubernetes node outside the cluster. Its Kip provider sounds like the thing you're looking for.

What are some alternatives?
