name: hetzner-infra description: Hetzner cloud infrastructure provisioning for Kubernetes. Use when provisioning servers, networks, load balancers, firewalls, DNS zones, or storage on Hetzner Cloud via hcloud CLI.

Cloud Infrastructure

Infrastructure patterns for Kubernetes clusters. Implementation via hcloud CLI. All scripts are idempotent.

Core Components

Component	Purpose	hcloud Command
Compute	VM instances for nodes	`hcloud server`
Network	Private connectivity	`hcloud network`
Load Balancer	Traffic distribution	`hcloud load-balancer`
Firewall	Network security	`hcloud firewall`
DNS	Name resolution	`hcloud zone`
Storage	Block storage	`hcloud volume`

Server Type Selection

If a server type is unavailable in the preferred location, try other European locations:

# Check availability across EU locations
for loc in fsn1 nbg1 hel1; do
  echo "=== $loc ===" && hcloud server-type list --selector location=$loc
done

EU locations: fsn1 (Falkenstein), nbg1 (Nuremberg), hel1 (Helsinki)

Quick Start

# Install hcloud CLI
curl -sL https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli/releases/latest/download/hcloud-linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv hcloud /usr/local/bin/

# Set token
export HCLOUD_TOKEN="your-token"

# Verify
hcloud server list
