#122Does it support root servers and / or is it planned?

#124Hola, I may try this out (once the HN hug of death slows down). At SadServers we ran a GKE cluster with 0.2 vCPUs workload for a PoC at it was costing us CAD $50/day until we figured out thing like GCP using a pod not doing anything just keeping a node up using 1 CPU, hidden Prometheus metrics etc.

#125It’s a little off topic, but to mention Raku now has support for the Hetzner API https://raku.land/zef:wayland/WWW::CloudHosting::Hetzner That way we can use Raku as a scripting language for deployment.
It's not a little off topic, it's way off topic for this thread. Your "for deployment" is missing the "of what" part, given the staggeringly thin surface area of your API. "I can reboot a server" is nowhere near a fully functioning Kubernetes control plane. Talk about the rest of the owl
Anyway, if you're proud of your toy, do its own Show HN

#126Any plans to expand further than Hetzner? They're pretty restrictive on certain usages(e.g VPNs), I'd be really interested in support for Datapacket for example.
Based on their stunningly hilarious "API"(sic), unlikely; their "create a server" mutation doesn't even support any user data https://api.datapacket.com/#definition-ServerInput

#127Why isn’t Hetzner providing a managed control plane themselves? Seems like a small investment to make for the return of converting massive amounts of customers stuck on GKE/EKS/AKS. That, plus a good IAM story, and they will be seen as a full cloud solution, not just a basement of servers. They have the infrastructure, it just need to be packaged.

#128What a great fortune to reach top of HN and get product feedback, then get rate limited by GitHub ( that was an easy fix though...) Then Hetzner gets a partial outage, failing to create new instances, causing most of the new cluster to get stuck in "creating" mode. Thanks everyone for the interest, I was not expecting this from a side project and I'll do my best to improve the platform in the future and address all f…
About Hetzner it's nothing new, since July, 1-2 of 10 deployments will stay stuck in creating state for hours or forever. It's really annoying, especially when you deploy a multi node cluster.
Probably I don't deploy enough or the EU regions are more reliable, but I was not experiencing issues during cluster provisioning. It is true that since July there were various small issues, for me mostly around removing provisioned resources, especially firewall configurations. Also noticed the web sockets are failing most of the times now and have to hard refresh the page to see the updates.

#129Hetzner 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
I am aware of that. I'm also not using their object storage. Still prefer GCS mostly and sometimes S3 or R2. For the compute offering, I didn't experience major issues. I have some clusters with 100% uptime for more than 2 years.

#130sounds and looks great! There are many good projects out there to deploy Kubernetes https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne..., https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s. However, I like that yours is manageable via Dashboard and you install basic applications. Feels way smoother than Terraform templates or CLI tools.
Setting up kubernetes yourself with k3s and deploying a HA database with cnpg is so simple nowadays. It works great until some day you face an issue that you can't fix without diving deep into the details e.g. debugging your CNI or the implementations of specific operators to understand reconciliation errors. I faced countless of these issues such as:
- your Postgres CNPG failed during failover and can't recover on it's own - Postgres WAL archiving suddenly doesn't work anymore after an update. - Cluster networking on some nodes doesn't work anymore due to an incompatibility of kube-proxy and Cilium after an update
Unless it's your core business I'd limit myself to deploying applications on Kubernetes instead of managing Kubernetes itself. At least for use cases where reliability matters.
There are some reasonably priced managed Kubernetes offerings out there. For example syself (https://syself.com) built a managed Kubernetes on Hetzner. The prices are super reasonable. For 300 Euros per month you can enjoy Hetzner prices with an experience that beats AWS.
