Buy a second hand Synology NAS with quadcore and SSD:

• You will need the quadcore because you have to dedicate CPU to Kubernetes
• You will need the SSD because it goes faster
• Ideally find a Synology that can have RAM boosted.

Now you will have your Cloud at home.

Otherwise try to use Azure Kubernetes Service, it's about $87 per month but you can have the first $200 free if you are a new user.

Ideally you can also ask for a Developer license.

Now that you have your NAS you can:

• Install Synology Docker on it (it was lately renamed Container Manager, you can find it in the Synology packages).
• Install MicroK8s if you want or Synology CSI Driver for Kubernetes

And voilà, bring your images in and you now have your environment at home.
