I often find myself in a mid-size situation that's awkward. Hetzner doesn't provide SLAs, so if I have to then I need to run my clusters across multiple providers. If I need to support full DR in 8hrs I need to have something on another data center, I can't just run my AWS terraform in a different region. If my infra were 10x larger I'd go dedicated, but right now I'm happy enough to eat the AWS premium. > develop your infra in a different way Totally agree, but for many people that ship has sailed.

> Hetzner doesn't provide SLAs They do if you enter an agreement with them for professional services; I'm not certain but I think there's an SLA also on their "managed" servers: https://www.hetzner.com/managed-server/ https://www.hetzner.com/managed-server/ However, if you want a "no-human" SLA with bare-metal rented servers, I could recommend Gcore: https://gcore.com/hosting/dedicated https://gcore.com/hosting/dedicated Their managed kubernetes even supports bare-metal nodes, which is actually something I'm using.

  But the managed servers look comparable in price to AWS instances at the same specs? (I'm eyeballing, I don't want to pull numbers on my phone). I don't want bare metal nodes, they put a high lower bound on the cost of a distributed cluster. I want a "herd" distributed across data centers, and a system that spins up new ones if the old ones die. I don't care if AWS shuts down an ec2 instance without warning, because a new one will automatically replace it.
