Running Kube on their cloud servers? Well have fun with that, the "vCore" is a very inconsistent unit unless you get their dedicated core servers. I moved back to Hetzner Bare Metal because you can't have anything that will push the resource boundaries on these boxes.

Also regarding Wireguard, I really like how tinc will find a new path and allows you to route over other nodes as needed. Wireguard can't really do that out of the box, every link is 1:1. You can of course setup something on top of that, but I miss the ease with which tinc does this.

I was actually surprised at the lackluster performance on the cloud products as well and recently spun up a dedicated box for a workload that actually required consistent performance. I never expected the performance to match a bare metal option of course, but coming from any of the other cloud providers I expected it to be more equivalent than it turned out to be.
along the lines of automatically re-routing, tinc also has some neat anycast-like capabilities -- you can assign the same ip to multiple nodes, and the lowest latency/shortest route node wins
