Not two years ago, I could easily deploy a Kubernetes application and make it available https://thenewstack.io/deploy-a-kubernetes-cluster-on-ubuntu-server-with-microk8s/. That same process no longer works. To be more specific, I seriously struggle with getting Kubernetes applications and services to be accessible from a LAN.

And https://thenewstack.io/microk8s-and-portainer-is-the-easiest-way-to-deploy-an-application-on-kubernetes/, deploying Portainer such that it manages a Kubernetes cluster is exponentially easier.

With the help of Portainer, I can deploy an application such that it’s accessible outside of the cluster with an ease Kubernetes itself cannot match.
