Need to deploy a Kubernetes cluster in Hetzner Cloud? This CLI tool fully automates the process, helping you install K3s in no time and maintain it with ease.

hetzner-k3s is an excellent repo from Vito Botta, which provides you with everything needed to create a highly available K3s cluster comprising 3 masters and 3 workers (for example) in a few minutes only. This project was started 3 years ago, and today, its v2.0.0 was released. Here’s what it offers today:

- Auto-creating instances and installing K3s on them, auto-configuring networking;
- Auto-installing Hetzner Cloud-specific components, including CCM (Cloud Controller Manager) for load balancers and CSI Driver for persistent storage;
- Using Flannel or Cilium as your CNI;
- Enabling node pools autoscaling by leveraging Cluster Autoscaler;
- Performing K3s version upgrades using Rancher System Upgrade Controller;
- Registry mirroring based on Spegel;
- Using external data stores for HA clusters as an alternative to embedded etcd.
