Kubernetes orchestrates container deployment, scaling, and management. The industry standard for production container workloads. Powerful but complex.
Reviewer scorecard
“4x the compute per dollar compared to AWS. European data centers for GDPR compliance. The best value in cloud computing.”
“The standard for production container orchestration. Managed K8s (EKS, GKE, AKS) removes most operational burden.”
“Unbeatable pricing if you can manage your own infrastructure. Not for teams that need managed services.”
“Massively over-engineered for 90% of workloads. Most teams would be better served by simpler deployment platforms.”
“As cloud bills become a board-level concern, Hetzner's value proposition becomes more compelling every quarter.”
“The API model Kubernetes established is becoming the universal infrastructure abstraction layer.”
