Question
Bitnami Kubernetes Production Runtime (BKPR) support for DigitalOcean Kubernetes Service
- Posted June 22, 2019

I need you to review this product from Bitnami BKPR and offer guidance on its compatibility with the DO Kubernetes offering.
Bitnami have quickstarts on bootstrapping for the AKS, GKE and Amazon Kubernetes offerings. The emphasis on their support of these cloud provides leads me to believe there are nuances in the setup that would probably get things wrong on a DO kubernetes cluster.
I am new at this Kubernetes so it is taking a lot of effort to get around this. I love the DO blog posts that explain the concepts in a clear manner.
Question is what is required to bootstrap BKPR on a DO Kubernetes Cluster.

I would also love to see this happening. Here is some additional information how this could be done: https://github.com/bitnami/kube-prod-runtime/issues/309
Please do, or a suggestion to the Kubernetes offering, is to provide a flavor that allows one select a list of standard DO verified/supported products which can be selected at cluster bootstrap such that one is at production level quality cluster with TLS terminated Ingress, and metric collection services up and running.

I can continue to lookfurther, however I am not feeling good about this so far. After installing and setting up the binaries it looks as though the binary itself has the cloud provider options hardcoded into it. As well as, using an unavailable client authentication API.
For the time being this may be a lot of work to deploy. It may be much easier to simply deploy each of the individual pieces this product mentions as helm charts:
