Has Anyone Used Kelsey Hightower’s Kubernetes Tutorial on Hetzner Cloud?

Don’t forget, Hetzner has a specific guide that can help you set up Kubernetes in their cloud. Check it out if you want something tailored for their environment: https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/setup-your-own-scalable-kubernetes-cluster.

You could totally create your own guide for Hetzner based on the tutorial! That's the whole point of "Kubernetes the Hard Way"—to learn by doing. 😄

I recommend looking into k3s instead. It’s like a spicy curry—great when you want something quick but might not give you the nitty-gritty of how everything works like the original tutorial does. But if you want to understand Kubernetes architecture, "Kubernetes the Hard Way" is unmatched!

You might face some networking challenges since the tutorial assumes a certain network setup. In Hetzner, your VMs get a /32 CIDR which complicates direct IP access, so you gotta know your networking basics.

If you're looking to learn Kubernetes, I’d suggest using some old Raspberry Pis you can grab cheap. But honestly, using cloud services like Hetzner is way less of a hassle since you won't have to manage physical hardware.
