Managed Kubernetes for European companies — built on Hetzner, data stays in the EU

Cybermindnet now offers production Kubernetes clusters with end-to-end accountability.

When designing today's cloud setup, "how cheap" and "how fast to provision" are no longer the only questions. More and more companies ask: Where does our data physically sit, who can access it, and under what law? Cybermindnet now offers managed Kubernetes clusters with a clear answer: your data stays in Europe, protected by European law.

Why Hetzner

Hetzner Online is a German hosting provider with its own data centres in Nuremberg (nbg1), Falkenstein (fsn1) and Helsinki (hel1). Cybermindnet runs production clusters on Hetzner using both Hetzner Cloud (compute) and Hetzner Object Storage (S3-compatible backup storage). No packet leaves the EU.

What you get

Our reference setup is a 3 control-plane × 3 worker cluster. We deploy the same architecture for customers and scale it up or down based on workload.

  • Operating system: Talos Linux — immutable, API-driven operating system built specifically for Kubernetes. No SSH, no ad-hoc changes — everything declarative via Terraform.
  • Network: Cilium-CNI with eBPF routing. Network policies, observability, BGP route advertisements.
  • Storage: Longhorn — distributed block storage with replication across nodes. Snapshots, hot backups, S3 recovery.
  • TLS: cert-manager — automatic issuance and renewal of Let's Encrypt certificates. No certbot cronjobs, no 2-AM surprises.
  • Ingress: ingress-nginx with automatic TLS, rate limiting, WAF rules tailored to your applications.
  • Monitoring: kube-prometheus-stack — Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager. Pre-built dashboards for Kubernetes plus custom dashboards for your applications and business metrics.
  • Logs: Loki + Promtail — centralised logging for every pod, queryable from Grafana, retention matching your SLA.
  • Backups: Velero backs up Kubernetes manifests; Longhorn snapshots PVCs nightly to Hetzner Object Storage. Disaster recovery is not theoretical — we run regular restore drills and document RTO/RPO.

Who it's for

  • Startups and scale-ups that need production environments without their own DevOps team
  • Established companies moving away from AWS/GCP/Azure due to cost or data residency
  • Public sector and regulated industries (banking, insurance, healthcare) where EU data residency is a compliance must
  • Companies with DORA / NIS2 / GDPR requirements who can't sleep easy when their data sits in the US, only a subpoena away

No vendor lock-in

The entire stack is open source and standard: Terraform (Hetzner Cloud), Talos, Kubernetes, Helm. If you leave us, your setup is portable — Terraform state, Helm charts and runbooks are handed over. No proprietary black boxes.

How to get started

Pricing is by request — we put together a quote after understanding workload, growth expectations, and compliance requirements. Write to us at info@cybermindnet.eu or via our contact form.

Your data deserves to live in Europe. We are glad to help.
