> Kubernetes is simply too resource-intensive to run on a $10/month VPS with just 1 shared vCPU and 2GB of RAM.

That's more than what I'm paying for far fewer resources than Hetzner. I'm paying about $8 a month for 4 vCPUs and 8GB of RAM: https://www.hetzner.com/cloud

Note that the really affordable ARM servers are German only, so if you're in the US you'll have to deal with higher latency to save that money, but I think it's worth it.

I recently set up an arm64 VPS at netcup: https://www.netcup.com/en/server/arm-server Got it with no location fee (and 2x storage) during the easter sale but normally US is the cheapest.

That's pretty cheap. I have 4 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, 80GB disk, and 20TB traffic for €6. NetCup looks like it has 6VCPU, 8GB RAM, 256 GB, and what looks like maybe unlimited traffic for €5.26. That's really good. And it's in the US, where I am, so SSH would be less painful. I'll have to think about possibly switching. Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you for sharing this. Do you have a referral link we can use to give you a little credit for informing us?

Sure, if you still want it: https://hetzner.cloud/?ref=WwByfoEfJJdv

I guess it gives you 20 euros in credit, too. That's nice.
