Background

I recently had a bit of impromptu disaster recovery, and it gave me a hunger for more! More downtime! More kubernetes manifest! More DNS! Ahhhh!

The plan was really simple. I love dedicated Hetzner servers with all my heart but they are not very fungible.

You have to wait entire minutes for a new dedicated server to be provisioned. Sometimes you pay a setup fee, et cetera. And at some point to server static websites and serve as a K3S server, it’s simply just too big, and approximately twice the price that I should pay.
