This article is centered around Hetzner as a cloud provider but I'm not sure I'd trust Hetzner for anything actually important. It's been known to boot regular, paying customers off the platform without appeal, without prior announcement and without giving proper time to back up data and move the service elsewhere.

Other than the `hetzner-k3s` installer, nothing in the article is specific to Hetzner. And even that script is just some terraform presets.

Spoiler for people who actually care about TFA: it's a runaway win for k3s. I've never even heard of minikube being run in production. The setup stuff at the end is a complete handwave though, like "Implement Traefik ingress with Let’s Encrypt via servers.ingress.enabled=true". No serious setup works well with traefik's default LE integration, and even the k3s docs recommend you install cert-manager. Which isn't too awful to set up, but it's still several hours of fiddling if you haven't done it before (pro tip: install it with kubectl, do not use helm. helm and CRDs are still not friends.)
