Be careful with Hetzner, they null routed my game server on launch day due to false positives from their abuse system, and then took 3 days for their support team to re-enable traffic. By that point I had already moved to a different provider of course.
This is probably out of left field, but what is the benefit of having a naming scheme for nodes without any delimiters? Reading at a glance and not knowing the region name convention of a given provider (i.e. Hetzner), I'm at a loss to quickly decipher the " " to "euc1pmgr1". I feel like I'm missing something because having delimiters would make all sorts of automated parsing much easier.
Parsing works the same but is based on a simple regex rather than splitting on a hyphen.
euc=eu central; 1=zone/dc; p=production; wkr=worker; 1=node id
I loved the article. Insightful, and packed with real world applications. What a gem. I have a side-question pertaining to cost-cutting with Kubernetes. I've been musing over the idea of setting up Kubernetes clusters similar to these ones but mixing on-premises nodes with nodes from the cloud provider. The setup would be something like: - vCPUs for bursty workloads, - bare metal nodes for the performance-oriented wo…
> Has anyone ever toyed around with the idea? Sidero Omni have done this: https://omni.siderolabs.com They run a Wireguard network between the nodes so you can have a mix of on-premise and cloud within one cluster. Works really well but unfortunately is a commercial product with a pricing model that is a little inflexible. But at least it shows it's technically possible so maybe open source options exist.
The sibling comments recommendation, Nebula, does something similar with a slightly different approach.

Quicker to type and scan! Though I admit this is preference, delimiters would work fine too. Parsing works the same but is based on a simple regex rather than splitting on a hyphen. euc=eu central; 1=zone/dc; p=production; wkr=worker; 1=node id
End of they day, they are a business!
I’m planning on doing something similar but want to use Talos with bare metal machines. I suspect to see similar price reductions from our current EKS bill.

Reading comments from the past few days makes it seem like dealing with Hetzner is a pain (and as far as I can tell, they aren't really that cheaper than the competitors).
Can you say more? Their Cloud instances, for example, are less than half the cost of OVH's, and less than a fifth of the cost of a comparable AWS EC2 instance.

But i do agree, it is much cheaper.
