Easily Accessing All Your Stuff with a Zero-Trust Mesh VPN
Another tool worth looking at is vpncloud (https://github.com/dswd/vpncloud). I used to use tinc, but switched to vpncloud 2 years ago.
In my use case, I have a modest number of nodes. Although nodes learn of other nodes from each other, I use ansible to keep each node's config updated.
I use vpncloud (and previously, tinc) between docker hosts. So, you have to be careful about interface MTU's inside of docker, particularly if you use containers based on Alpine.

How much can you get out of a $4 VPS?
I think one of the reasons is that people confuse physical servers with manual administration. As I said, I do not do manual administration. Nothing ever gets configured on any server by hand. All administration is through ansible.
I only have one ansible setup, and it can work both for virtualized servers and physical ones. No difference. The only difference is that virtualized servers need to be set up with terraform first, and physical ones need to be ordered first and their IPs entered into a configuration file (inventory).
Of course, I am also careful to avoid becoming dependent on many other cloud services. For example, I use VpnCloud (https://github.com/dswd/vpncloud) for communication between the servers. As a side benefit, this also gives me the flexibility to switch to any infrastructure provider at any time.
My main point was that while virtualized offerings do have their uses, there is a (huge) gap between a $10/month hobby VPS and a company with exploding-growth B2C business. Most new businesses actually fall into that gap: you do not expect hockey-stick exponential growth in a profitable B2B SaaS. That's where you should question the usual default choice of "use AWS". I care about my COGS and my margins, so I look at this choice very carefully.

What banned subreddits YOU would like to see brought back?
I'm not a fan of IPFS (I've tried it many times, from the beginning), but Hypercore has made significant improvements. If you're looking for FLOSS mutable torrents, that's probably the best we've got right now (as scary as that may be). Cockroachdb, VPNCloud, and raTox might also be worth your time. At the very least, I could see value in making it expensive to play whack-a-mole on those who are willing to host. Ideally, it would be effortless to mirror or contribute back.

How much can you get out of a $4 VPS?
Yes, ... and? Those are much more "standardized" than whatever else any team cooks up. (And k8s along with Go is steadily improving, so I don't see this as "let's use WordPress because its the platform that has the most answers on StackOverflow".)
And even if k8s puts on too many legacy-ness, there are upcoming slimmer manifestations of the core ideas. (Eg. https://github.com/aurae-runtime/aurae )
