Also Oracle OCI has OKE, which is Oracle Kubernetes Engine. It works nicely and the quality of service has been very good in my experience over the past four years. Disclaimer: I currently work at Oracle.
Can you find anyone who doesn't work at Oracle that can back up this bold assertion?

Hetzner is shockingly cheaper than vultr now. Also Contabo is very cheap.
I was trying to price up something between hetzner and AWS and as a starting place AWS ends up cheaper until you get to a certain point then hetzner ends up cheaper. Basically wanted 3 servers. One for load balancer and then 2 web servers so I can pop them in and out. But with hetzner it’s minimum like $30/m per server when I only need 2c/2g I get 3 servers at AWS for $32.
Did you check out hetzner "cloud"? 2c/2g seems to be roughly 5$/Month, x3 would be 15$

#83I think it is really worth being aware of Hetzner's Dedicated server offerings. What you get isn't that dissimilar to what a cloud provider would offer, but you get about an order of magnitude more compute resources for the same price. Plus you get better disk access speed (NVMe) than something like an AWS EBS-backed instance. You can also order new instances within a matter of minutes. You don't have to use them, bu…

This sounds like a nifty solution for compute, but I suppose for data storage and such you would want a separate managed service? Or does this hook into that for various providers too?
Storage is already abstracted via Kubernetes with persistent volume claims and CSI (container storage interface) You can specify the default storage class to use the provider's CSI driver. The PVC is then specified and consumed the same way in a portable manner across providers.

not working for them, but a user/fan. Did you check out hetzner "cloud"? 2c/2g seems to be roughly 5$/Month, x3 would be 15$

With "storage" I'm thinking something more powerful beyond plain files, e.g. relational databases.

You can also choose something specific like a mounted hostVolume which is not provider specifc.
Cutting edge stuff like NVMe-oF is even possible, the CSI ecosystem is very active. https://github.com/spdk/spdk-csi

For single server, I'd just use sqlite.
