Been a happy Hetzner customer for over a decade, previously using their dedicated servers in their German DC's before migrating to their Cloud US VMs for better latency with the US. Slightly disappointed with their recent cuts of their generous 20TB free traffic down to 3TB (€1.19 per additional TB), but they still look to be a lot better value than all other US cloud providers we've evaluated.

Whilst I wouldn't run Kubernetes by choice, we've had success moving our custom SSH / Docker compose deployments over to use GitHub Actions with kamal-deploy.org, easy to setup and nice UX tools for monitoring remote deployed apps [1]

Seems to be a US thing, maybe their peering partners are forcing them to raise prices, the German DC still stells the 20TB bandwidth https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/, but US is an order of magnitude less for the same price :/

I don't see how traffic in Ashburn is more expensive than Frankfurt and Amsterdam.

It's the sort of place where people say Transit is cheaper than paid peering. (For eyeball networks at least).

I think carrying traffic from Europe for some images and videos might make sense financially. But there's always bulk CDN's

The vast majority of Hetzner's traffic in europe (and tbh, anyone's traffic) is free peering. Telekom is the one major exception.
