This looks great! Haven't tried it yet, but should I presume this also does k8s and OS updates for me? Or how managed is it?

Thanks for the feedback! The platform is mostly self service, but it is very easy to upgrade the Kubernetes version, just change the version in the cluster configuration. For OS updates, you can replace the nodes and it will automatically pick the latest OS image from Hetzner. I also run it isolated for some small companies, as a fully managed service, so that option is available as well.

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 comp…

Hello there, as I mentioned in the post, I build this as a side project by my self and I'm running it as a freelancer registered in Spain, you can check my VAT number ESY1848661G. I was planning to collect some feedback and honestly didn't expect such interest in the project. I will make the necessary adjustments to the privacy policy and terms of service. When I started this, I had in mind to convert it into a company, but I'm still running it as a freelancer. Thanks for your feedback! I will correct my mistake.

I tried to deploy a small cluster in the US VA region, but the cluster status kept flipping between Failed and Creating with no clear way of troubleshooting it: 7ad975fb-3c8e-47a9-b03d-9e6bec81f0db

Hello there, sorry for that I will look into it right now.

This is a great idea. I really like it!

We considered reaching out in May, but held back because we want to run on bare metal.

Any chance to get this provisioned on bare metal at Hetzner?

We have K8S running on bare metal there. It's a slog to get it all working, but for our use case, having a dedicated 10G LAN between nodes (and a bare metal Cassandra cluster in the same rack) makes a big difference in performance.

Also, from a cost perspective. We run AX41-NVMe dedicated servers that cost us about EUR 64 per server with a 10G LAN, all in the same rack. Getting the same horsepower using Cloud instances I guess would be a CCX43, which costs almost double.

Hey, thanks for your immediate reply. Congrats for starting your own business. If you're Spanish-based maybe something like "aviso legal" at [1] or "legal notice" (imprint) at hetzner [2] is needed so people can validate that you/your company actually exist.

I'm not familiar with Spanish S.L. (Sociedad Limitada) but it seems to be a private, share-based legal entity with minimum 3000 EUR share capital and at least one director. It seems the share capital does not need to be paid in full [3] which is a risk for potential customers if things go wrong.

If you're based in a EU country I'd suggest to also clearly communicate all these legal information, because it's easier for potential customers to build trust into your services.
