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!

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.

Is this deploying K3s or full kubernetes with a control vs worker plane on different instances?

k3s does support running separate control plane and worker node pools. It's not just for toy-project clusters, or single node clusters. k3s can also power rather big clusters.

The pricing is misleading. You say on the landing page that the free plan is €0 per month, but in reality you still have to pay for the control plane nodes. The cheapest control plane node is €3.29 per month; if you want high-availability - you need to double that.

So in reality you would pay €20 per month for the standard plan and also extra for control plane nodes.

Also, with this Terraform module I can setup a similar setup without paying any extra fee for your service: https://github.com/hcloud-k8s/terraform-hcloud-kubernetes/tr...

The Terraform module takes care of ingress, certificates, metrics etc

Anyway, congrats for shipping

This module is way better https://github.com/hcloud-k8s/terraform-hcloud-kubernetes/tr...

I'm using it right now

Actually you want 3 nodes for high availability, two will do you nothing good
