hetzner-k3s VS kairos

Check it out at [https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s](https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s) - it's the easiest and fastest way to set up Kubernetes clusters in Hetzner Cloud!

Also highly recommended https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s

This is with the new version not yet released of my tool https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s.

It uses k3s as Kubernetes flavor and Hetzner Cloud as provider. For this test I used extremely high concurrency so the tool hung twice of the process because I was hitting the Hetzner API too hard, so I had to interrupt it again and continue.

Excluding the time it paused/hubg due to the API, I calculated around 11 minutes total for the cluster creation. This includes:

- creating all the resources (cloud instances, firewall, load balancer for the Kubernetes API)

Try my project Hetzner-K3s, it’s by far the easiest and quickest way to create and manage clusters in Hetzner cloud. https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s

Hi all, if you already use Kubernetes in any capacity or are you interested in it, would you mind spending a few minutes voting in a quick poll and hopefully answering a few questions? I would appreciate your help a ton because it would help me make the right decision and hopefully avoid a costly waste of time.

Everything is in a Github discussion at https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s/discussions/296. A huge thank you in advance if you can help with this!

The new release introduces more customisation options for cluster/service CIDRs, cluster DNS, updated manifests for CSI/CCM/autoscaler, and a couple of improvement for creating large clusters. Check it out at https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s

If you are already familiar with this tool, I'd love to know how it's worked for you so far. :)

Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud the easiest way

There’s this cool GitHub project that helps automate a lot of the process for K3s on Hetzner: https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s

If you are willing to leave AWS in order to save a lot of money, you have an option in https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s

Kairos is a Linux meta-distribution, which means it adds powerful features to distributions you are already familiar with. Here are some of the features it has to offer:

I've been eyeing Kairos [1] which is an OS lifecycle management system for k3s which looks like a nice way to deploy k3s.

https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos updates!

kairos.io – Turn your existing distro into an immutable OS with k8s. It is the logical successor of what k3os intended (kind of).

Check out this TNS blog and Kairos blog about the Kairos project. It is a meta distribution, which addresses the issues around immutable distros at a more fundamental level while providing much more flexibility.

Kairos could fit the bill here - I don't think it supports Windows but it does have a cool Network Boot project called AuroraBoot.

kairos.io

Did you heard about https://github.com/kairos-io/kairos ? It supports any base OS (Fedora, openSUSE, Alpine, Rockylinux, Ubuntu, ..), and follows strongly the same K3OS principles. It is immutable, with an A/B upgrading mechanism and it is container based so it is easy to customize to fit your needs. It is community-driven, with no strings attached to any distribution or vendor.

Yes Kairos. KaiOS is a mobile Linux distribution unrelated to Kubernetes.
