My biggest issue with k8s on Hetzner is that there is no way of going from tiny (1 machine) to medium (10-100 machines) purely on bare metal. I was able to get Gateway API to provide ingress nodes after a bit of Envoy tinkering, but storage is an issue. You can't run Ceph Rook on a single machine (too heavy,) and I couldn't find a think local volume wrapper that lets me easily migrate from local volume management to distributed.

Feels like there should be a PV daemon that can do local, and transparent migrations and is lightweight enough to run on a single machine. Once my PV has been migrated to Ceph, the proxy could configure itself away from that job.

I can't find this Spanish (?) company in the company register and there are none of the legally required information on the website. Not very trustworthy for a SaaS that stores your data and access keys. I'm confident that this is only a startup "day one" issue, but in times of increased scam and extortion can I be sure? Nope.

Hello there! Fair enough. As I mentioned in the original post, I built this as a side project, by myself, and I run it as a freelancer registered in Spain. It is not hard to find my public profile. You can check my Spanish VAT number, ESY1848661G. This is still in beta and currently looking to collect feedback and see if there is any interest in the market, before scaling it to a company. Thank you!

Am i the only one who is confused about "Hetzner" in the title and "AWS KMS" in the body?

Thanks for the feedback! Didn't plan to bring any confusion with that. The AWS KMS is used by the platform to encrypt/decrypt sensitive data before/after storing it in Vault and is part of the tech stack used to develop the platform.

it's more the thing, that if you put secrets on AWS, you are STILL dependent on AWS even if you run things on hetzner. It would be better, if you find a solution for secrets maintenance which runs on hetzner..

For anyone interested I am in the last stages of building a course operating around Kube-Hetzner (https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... 3k github stars). Basically a lot of scripts that shows how this works and how to perform backups, restores etc... and a lot of exercises for common use cases and failure troubleshooting. Intentionally NOT abstracting away anything so you can see how this works. Without understanding you are going to get stuck.

I wonder how long before Hetzner adds something like managed Kubernetes to their native product line. They already have S3 compatible object storages, load balancers and more.

Given how rarely they offer specific software solutions and at what pace, I would say 5+ years from now or never.

Hetzner is working on their own managed offering too, but it doesn't seem like anyone has an idea when it will land. https://www.reddit.com/r/hetzner/comments/18yhy89/seems_like...

Considering how bad their object storage offering is, I'd never use this I think

This is a great idea. I really like it! We considered reaching out in May, but held back because we want to run on bare metal. Any chance to get this provisioned on bare metal at Hetzner? We have K8S running on bare metal there. It's a slog to get it all working, but for our use case, having a dedicated 10G LAN between nodes (and a bare metal Cassandra cluster in the same rack) makes a big difference in performance.…

I have a docker swarm in Hetzner with cloud instances and VM in bare metal (proxmox host): the good is that I am using almost the same cloud init script to create those Ubuntu nodes (both Proxmox and Hetzner cloud instances support cloud-init).

I use wireguard to have those nodes connected together
