Could you explain: 1) What are the limitations of the scaling you do? Can I do this programmatically? I.e. send some requests to get additional pods of a specific type online? 2) What have you done in terms of security hardening? you mention hardened pods/cluster, but specifically, did you do pentest? Just follow best practice? Periodic scans? Stress tests?

Thanks for your questions! 1) The platform provides a control plane to help you deploy the cluster on your own Hetzner account, so you are in control of resources and pay direct usage costs to Hetzner. 2) Because you have full access to kubernetes cluster and it runs on your own Hetzner account, the security of the cluster is a shared responsibility and you can fine tune the configuration according to your requirements. The platform security is totally our responsibility. We try to follow best practices and internal penetration tests were conducted, but we're still in beta and try to see if there's interest for such product before launching the stable version.

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!

Love how focussed this is. I would have never guessed that there's an overlap between the circle of people wanting to run a prod workload on a K8s cluster and folks that need a GUI to set up and manage a K8s cluster would be that big but looks like I might be wrong.

Surely the appeal is more that someone will fix things if your k8s installation breaks?

Why would I use Edka vs using Linode's free Kubernetes offering?

This was designed for Hetzner, which I still believe has the best offer on the market comparing price, performance and stability. On top of that, the platform offers some ready to deploy add-ons that simplify the configuration after the initial cluster provisioning.

Has anybody found a good way to use encrypted disks with Hetzner yet?

Their installer script supports LUKS.

Setup dropbear, and have another encrypted instance that runs a cron that runs a script every minute to check for the dropbear port on all instances and sshes in and passes the key to boot.

This is what I do for fastcomments anyway for ovh and hetzner
