Hetzner's great, and I'm a customer, but we're missing lots of stuff there – and some of the stuff that is there isn't reliable.

For example:

* Object storage: lots of horror stories out there regarding flakey performance so hard to justify sticking mission critical stuff there.

* Private networking: Again, too many anecdotes about loss of service. Lots of people just using the public IP6 interfaces to avoid their private networking entirely. And private networks are IP4 only.

* Kubernetes CSI: I've had issues with this where a PV gets in some locked state and I can't remove from console.

I'd love to see more competition here.

This is my daily AWS story, so I would probably feel right at home on Hetzner it seems!

Our experience with Hetzner /Cloud/ is similarly shaky. But Hetzner dedicated servers all altogether a different story.

We (lithus.eu) deal with their custom solutions team regularly and often provision private networks in the 10-100G range. On top of that we deploy MinIO and OpenEBS/Mayastor, and the whole thing just hums along very nicely indeed.
