If it's like AWS' equivalent, you can, but the cost is more than that because you're paying for a managed control plane.

I had assumed it was like Linode:

"Linode Kubernetes Pricing LKE pricing includes only the resources you consume – Linodes, NodeBalancers, and Volumes. Your cluster’s master services are free of charge."

So whenever they are out of their beta, you should be able to run a $5/month single node K8S "cluster".
