And 4x chance of some of the hardware failing and someone needs to fix it. Unless I’m mistaken about how Kubernetes works.

I’m pretty sure half the point of kubernetes is to have the server automatically reroute traffic when one node goes down

That would be a load balancer but is not integral to the working of kubernetes. I wouldn’t consider kubernetes unless you have a need for autoscaling. It’s a lot of overhead for such a limited use case.

You can front any three un-clustered nodes with a load balancer to the same effect

  Good to hear. Are there specific example you could point me to? I’d like to learn more

    I would start here. Most off the shelf proxies can do it

But doen’t that require some software-defined networking or a special network setup? I’m pretty sure with the avergage home internet connection, you’ll fail over to the replica at your friend’s home. But that has an entirely diffetent IP address and the game client will not handle that gracefully.
