Managed k8s also requires stateful services like storage, database and ingress/LB which I recommended Hetzner to build like 8 years ago (community).

Proof: https://forum.hetzner.com/index.php?thread/21421-docker-cont...

There are some other pieces missing. The cluster-autoscaler implementation is quite basic. It doesn't have a way to managing multiple clusters inside the same project and no way to add custom tags. That makes it harder to track resources. The permissions/security is quite simple. Read/write tokens with full permissions on the project is very wide. Adding S3 like service without more security would be interesting. These are the most important ones, but I remember there were a few more nice to have feature (like server groups for scaling up an down and the ability to retrieve the userdata, image and ssh keys for a running server.

Hetzner S3 Storage would be great. I know Hetzner is slow moving when it comes to Software but it's so obvious that they would have explosive growth if they did that and most of it is available as FOSS Software already

  • So I'm working on adding this on top of Hetzner -- it's service #2 and the beta should be out by the end of the month (Redis is first!) -- if you'd be willing to beta test I'd love to have you try it.

    • IMHO this has to be offered by the platform, not by some other party/intermediary. Of course I could run minio, swift, etc by myself, but this is not the point.
