The Kubernetes Cluster API Provider Hetzner enables declarative provisioning of multiple Kubernetes clusters on Hetzner infrastructure. High-available Kubernetes clusters on bare metal and on cloud instances are supported. The Cluster API simplifies the creation, updates, and operation of production-ready clusters. Self-managed Kubernetes clusters can, therefore, be easily operated even at a large scale.

Disclaimer: This is no official Hetzner project! It is maintained by the folks of the cloud-native start-up Syself. If you have questions or are interested in running production-ready Kubernetes clusters on Hetzner, then please contact us via e-mail: info@syself.com.

πŸ“° What is the Cluster API Provider Hetzner?

The Cluster API orchestrates infrastructure similar to the way Kubernetes manages containers. It implements a declarative API like Kubernetes does and extends the resources of the Kubernetes API server via CRDs.

The Cluster API consist of the CAPI controller, the control-plane provider, the bootstrap provider, and a provider integration that implements the necessary controllers to enable stable and highly available Kubernetes clusters.

The controllers ensure that the desired state of the infrastructure is achieved - just as Kubernetes ensures the desired state of containers. The concept of Kubernetes Controller has significant advantages over Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions because it can react automatically to changes and problems. The best example of this is the MachineHealthCheck, which replaces unhealthy nodes automatically.

Using the Cluster API Provider Hetzner (CAPH) unites the benefits of declarative infrastructure, cost-effectiveness, and (GDPR-compliant) European cloud.

✨ Features

  • Native Kubernetes manifests and API
  • Choice of Linux distribution
  • Support for single and multi-node control plane clusters (HA Kubernetes)
  • Support for Hetzner Cloud placement groups, network and load balancer
  • Complete day 2 operations - updating Kubernetes and nodes, scaling up and down, self-healing
  • Custom CSR approver for approving kubelet-serving certificate signing requests
  • Hetzner dedicated servers / bare metal

πŸš€ Get Started

If you're looking to jump straight into it, go ahead:

In addition to the pure creation and operation of Kubernetes clusters, this provider can also validate and approve certificate signing requests. This increases security as the kubelets of the nodes can be operated with signed certificates. This enables the metrics-server to run securely. Click here to read more about the CSR controller.

πŸ”₯ Compatibility with Cluster API and Kubernetes Versions

This provider's versions are compatible with the following versions of Cluster API:

Cluster API v1beta1 (v1.0.x) Cluster API v1beta1 (v1.1.x) Cluster API v1beta1 (v1.2.x) Cluster API v1beta1 (v1.3.x) Cluster API v1beta1 (v1.4.x)
Hetzner Provider v1.0.x βœ“ βœ“ βœ“ βœ“ βœ“

This provider's versions can install and manage the following versions of Kubernetes:

Hetzner Provider v1.0.x
Kubernetes 1.22.x +
Kubernetes 1.23.x βœ“
Kubernetes 1.24.x βœ“
Kubernetes 1.25.x βœ“

Test status:

  • βœ“ tested
  • + should work, but we weren't able to test it

Each version of Cluster API for Hetzner will attempt to support at least two Kubernetes versions.

NOTE: As the versioning for this project is tied to the versioning of Cluster API, future modifications to this policy may be made to more closely align with other providers in the Cluster API ecosystem.


πŸ”³ Operating System Images

Note: Cluster API Provider Hetzner relies on a few prerequisites, which have to be already installed in the used operating system images, e.g. a container runtime, kubelet, and Kubeadm. Reference images can be found in kubernetes-sigs/image-builder and templates/node-image. If it isn't possible to pre-install these prerequisites in the image, you can always deploy and execute some custom scripts through the Kubeadm config. Read more...

πŸ‘₯ Getting Involved and Contributing

Are you interested in contributing to Cluster API Provider Hetzner? We, the maintainers and community, would love your suggestions, contributions, and help! If you want to learn more about how to get involved, you can contact the maintainers at any time.

To set up your environment, try out the development guide.

In the interest of getting more new people involved, we tag issues with good first issue. These are typically issues that have a smaller scope, but are good to get acquainted with the codebase.

We also encourage ALL active community participants to act as if they are maintainers, even if you don't have "official" write permissions. This is a community effort, we are here to serve the Kubernetes community. If you have an active interest and you want to get involved, you have real power! Don't assume that the only people who can get things done around here are the "maintainers".

We would also love to add more "official" maintainers, so show us what you can do!

πŸ’« Code of Conduct

Participation in the Kubernetes community is governed by the Kubernetes Code of Conduct.

:shipit: Github Issues

πŸ› Bugs

If you think you have found a bug, please follow these steps:

  • Take some time to give due diligence to the issue tracker. Your issue might be a duplicate.
  • Get the logs from the cluster controllers. Paste this into your issue.
  • Open a bug report.
  • Give it a meaningful title to help others who might be searching for your issue in the future.
  • If you have questions, reach out to the Cluster API community on the Kubernetes Slack channel.

⭐ Tracking New Features

We also use the issue tracker to track features. If you have an idea for a feature or think that you can help Cluster API Provider Hetzner become even more awesome, then follow these steps:

  • Open a feature request.
  • Give it a meaningful title to help others who might be searching for your issue in the future.
  • Define clearly the use case. Use concrete examples, e.g. "I type this and Cluster API Provider Hetzner does that".
  • Some of our larger features will require some design. If you would like to include a technical design for your feature, please include it in the issue.
  • After the new feature is well understood and the design is agreed upon, we can start coding the feature. We would love if you code it. So please open up a WIP (work in progress) pull request. Happy coding!
