Deploying a Cheap, Self-Hosted Kubernetes Cluster on Hetzner Cloud

Cheap Self-Hosted Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud

I explore how to build a cost-effective, highly available K3s cluster on Hetzner Cloud using the Kube-Hetzner Terraform module. By leveraging MicroOS for immutable nodes and optimizing network configurations, we achieve a production-ready setup for under 60 euros monthly, avoiding vendor lock-in while maintaining European data sovereignty.
