I have yet to see a guide to automate k8s on Hetzner's beefy bare metal instances. True, you want cattle, but being able to include some bare metal instance with amazing CPUs and memory would be great, and I do just that. My clusters include both cloud and bare metal instances. In the past I had used Hetzner virtual switch to create a shared L2 network between cloud and bare metal nodes. Now I just use tailscale. But…

Would CAPH solve your issue? https://github.com/syself/cluster-api-provider-hetzner you would wire up cluster autoscaler to point to it using clusterapi https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/tree/a9cb59fdd2dd88...

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.

What Hetzner-specific functionality did you need to design that you wouldn’t need in a “deploy to arbitrary set of VMs” scenario?

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

If you need disk encryption on Hetzner, I built a Terraform module that sets up a Kubernetes cluster with encrypted disks enabled by default: https://github.com/hcloud-k8s/terraform-hcloud-kubernetes

I wonder how long before Hetzner adds something like managed Kubernetes to their native product line. They already have S3 compatible object storages, load balancers and more.

No idea about the timing but I imagine it's coming.

Would make a lot of sense, especially if you can combine it with the hardware servers. You could get a lot of grunt in your cluster for a lot less than for example AWS.

What is the threat model you want to mitigate using encryption at rest? Is it that a physical disk is not properly wiped after usage? Then you could just use luks and store the key anywhere else, e.g. another machine or an external volume…

I cant seem to figure out where this company is located and if it is a scam or not. Website has no imprint, no contact address. There is one email address in the privacy statement but it is "redacted by cloudflare". Also in privacy statement it says "Edka Digital S.L." but no idea which country it is registered it.

For me it does not pass the smell test. No physical address, no idea who is running it, no idea if company is indeed registered or not. The pricing FAQ at least talks about VAT and I assume it is EU VAT but could be anything.
