Here's a slightly different story: I run OpenBSD on 2 bare-metal machines in 2 different physical locations. I used k8s at work for a bit until I steered my career more towards programming. Having k8s knowledge handy doesn't really help me so much now.
On OpenBSD there is no Kubernetes. Because I've got just two hosts, I've managed them with plain SSH and the default init system for 5+ years without any problems.
