What's the difference to a well established tool like kops ( https://github.com/kubernetes/kops ), which also supports Hetzner?

Probably the easiest out there is https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s. There are many options, depending on how low level you want to go. Hetzner terraform project is probably the most complex and complete, but it takes time to configure all those. The main idea was to provide simplification, not just to Kubernetes provisioning in Hetzner, but also to the most common apps and tools that extend Kubernetes capabilities, like ingress controllers, prometheus, elasticsearch, databases and so on.

There is this project to deploy k3s to Hetzner via Terraform: https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... It's not the smoothest thing I've ever used, but it's all self hosted and everything can be fixed with some Terraform or SSH. Great to see some managed Kubernetes on Hetzner!

This module is way better https://github.com/hcloud-k8s/terraform-hcloud-kubernetes/tr... I'm using it right now

I agree, this is probably the most complete solution out there. My intentions with this project are to provide various layers of abstraction, not only for Kubernetes provisioning, but also for the most common apps and tools that are usually extending the Kubernetes capabilities and also allow some low level configuration options.

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.

Site doesn't answer how storage is 'solved'. Is this solution uses local folder provisioning when using PostgreSQL for example.

Sorry for that, I wasn't expecting such interest. There are still undocumented parts, but happy to answer any question. It uses https://github.com/hetznercloud/csi-driver to attach persistent volumes to PostgreSQL pods.

If you are looking for Postgres on Hetzner, you may want to check out Ubicloud.

We host in various bare metal providers, including Hetzner. (I am the lead engineer building Ubicloud PostgreSQL, so if you have questions I can answer them)

This is incredibly timely. I've been an AWS customer for 10+ years and have been having a tough time with them lately. Looking at potentially moving off and considering options.

My theory is that with terraform and a container based infra, that it should be pretty easier with Claude Code to migrate wherever.
