Show HN: 10x Kubernetes Cluster on Hetzner Cloud

I created this terraform/tofu module that provisions a k8s/k3s cluster on Hetzner’s cloud. If you compare the price to popular hyperscalers you get 10x the value for your buck.

Quick overview of the most important features:
– hosts are managed in node pools, like you’d do on AKS, etc
– the cluster configuration has been hardened according to k3s hardening guide (https://docs.k3s.io/security/hardening-guide)
– the cluster is private by default and can not be accessed from the internet – you decide what to expose
– nodes are auto-installing security updates
– Kubernetes updates are managed from within the cluster via upgrade plans
– an Ansible inventory is generated so commands can be easily invoked on all systems / selected node pools simultaneously
– just the bare minimum of charts (hcloud-ccm, hcloud-csi, cilium and system-upgrade-controller) is installed so you can select what is deployed as ingress controller, gitops solution, etc
– extensive documentation is provided to configure, maintain and troubleshoot the cluster

Would love to hear your feedback. A number of organizations are already using the module in production.
