hetzner-k3s VS terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner

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

This is definitely some ChatGPT output being posted here and your post history also has a lot of this "While X, Y also does Z. Y already overlaps with X" output.

I'd like to see your breakdowns as well, given that the cost difference between a 2 vCPU, 4GB configuration (as an example) and a similar configuration on AWS is priced much higher.

There's also https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... to reduce the operational burden that you speak of.

There is also a gpt that you can use that will genereate you the module block based on your requirements.

I like Epinio which does the same but on top of kubernetes. It is backed by Suse and lightweight compared to KNative (which is the basis of GCP CloudRun for example), but being kubernetes based still requires more Resources than dokku or Piku. I still prefer k8s due to the vast ecosystem of mature solutions. And I can still run everything on a single box, it just needs to be a bit bigger. The new Hetzner CX42 with 8 vCPUs, 16 GB of RAM, and 160 GB of disk space for € 16.40 a month (€ 0.0273 per hour) is sufficient, and with the Kube Hetzner Project I can set up a kubernetes cluster with auto updating microos in 5 minutes.

Hetzner starting with https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne..., plus registry using DigitalOcean.

However in the end my goto solution is k3s on hetzner cloud since it's got support for load balancers, ingress controllers with public IPS, persistent storage etc. It's cheaper than all the other cloud providers, although you need to run some code it doesn't have a 1 click solution. so I sold my hardware and used this https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner. I run it when I need a kube cluster and kill it by deleting the project.

You can look at this: https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner

This whole setup is around 70euros per month, and I can enjoy usenet and torrent downloads of Linux ISOs to constantly peak at 1Gbps speed. All of this is HA with Kubernetes using this.
