K8s vs WMWare
I would recommend setting up a simple Kubernetes cluster (maybe using KinD, minikube, or something similar) and getting to know how it works (you could try deploying something like Kuard or Podinfo or deploy one of your own containerized apps to Kubernetes).

Cool stuff to deploy for a project ideas
Podinfo does something very similar while coming with alot of additional features.
- Sample of applications that can be used for CI/CD and Kubernetes practice
-
Dockerized RESTful API Application in Go: CRUD,ORM,Logs,Migrations,Validations
A more mature example: https://github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo, k8s specific.
-
Image for web server that serves Kubernetes details
Try this podinfo implementation.
-
Deploy with Kustomize, FluxCD and Remote Resources
I have chosen the well known podinfo application as an example, and I have developed the base and some components associated to it.

Check out https://github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo it’s my go to for creating new microservices

Walkthrough of AKS + Private Link Service + Private Endpoint
It focuses on an "uninteresting" workload and uses podinfo as the sample app. This is because it's easy to deploy and customize with a sample Helm chart.

Self hosted kubernetes
Hey guys, I want to share a guide I’m pretty proud of which is talking about setting up kubernetes which leverages https://kubespray.io/#/ and https://metallb.universe.tf/ so you can host this yourself most people when spinning up kubernetes opt for k3s or get stuck with all the options or unable to setup the external ips for their services so these tools will eliminate the problem.

Trouble with RKE2 HA Setup: Part 2
To avoid that, you can use a combination of haproxy and keepalived, an enterprise grade load balancer like the one from F5 or Citrix. Besides that you can also work with https://kube-vip.io or https://metallb.universe.tf.

Kubernetes and feeling defeated
Not sure if klipper is usable in a cluster with multiple nodes, as it binds to one port only. You may want to use MetalLB instead: https://metallb.universe.tf/

Then deploy MetalLB https://metallb.universe.tf/

Own kubernetes cluster
What issue do you see with the load balancer? For self hosted clusters, one can use MetalLB for example to have such single outfacing IP which will failover to another node keeping the same IP if a node dies.

PaperLB: A Kubernetes Network Load Balancer Implementation
Quoting from their docs:
