I haven't used it personally, but https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... looks amazing as a way to setup and manage kubernetes on Hetzner. At the moment I'm on Oracle free tier, but I keep thinking about switching to it to get off... Well Oracle.

I've used this to set up a cluster to host a dogfooded journalling site. In one evening I had a cluster working. It works pretty well. I had one small problem when the auto-update wouldn't run on arm nodes which stopped the single node I had running at that point (with the control plane taint blocking the update pod running on them).

I'm running two clusters on it, on for production and one for dev. Works pretty good. With a schedule to reboot machines every sunday for automatic security updates (SuSE Micro OS). Also expanded machines for increased workloads. You have to make sure to inspect every change terraform wants to do, but then you're pretty save. The only downside is that every node needs a public IP, even though they are behind a firewall. But that is being worked on.

i recently read an article about running k8s on the oracle free tier and was looking to try it. i'm curious, are there any specific pain points that are making you think of switching?

  Nope, just Oracle being a corp with a nasty reputation. Honesty it was easy to set up and has been super stable, and if you go ARM the amount of resources you get for free is crazy. I actually do recommend it for personal projects on the like. I'd just be hesitant about building a business based on any Oracle offering.

    Got it, thanks for the clarification! I’ll be using it for a personal project so that sounds great.

  I've got a couple of free arm machines setup as a cluster for learning k8 + a few LB in front of it. I use k3s, with pg rather than etcd. Been a great learning experience.
