Sorry for my silliness, so 'cloud' is a new name for 'VPS'?

VPS are a part of the cloud offering now. Just like EC2 is part of AWS. Once change is that traditionally VPSs used local disk storage, while cloud servers use network block storage.

Usually clouds offer additional higher level features, in addition to basic VMs, such as load balancers, object storage and managed containers. Though Hetzner currently offers very little in that regard.

Hetzner Cloud uses local NVMe SSD storage. They used to have Ceph based network block storage, but deprecated that around 2 years ago.

This rename has been a thing for 10 years now. All the VPS providers jumped on the cloud bandwagon and call themselves cloud.
