## About The Project
[Hetzner Cloud](https://hetzner.com) is a good cloud provider that offers very affordable prices for cloud instances, with data center locations in both Europe and the US. The goal of this project was to create an optimal and highly optimized Kubernetes installation that is easily maintained, secure, and automatically upgrades itself. We aimed for functionality as close as possible to GKE's auto-pilot.

First and foremost, you need to have a Hetzner Cloud account. You can sign up for free [here](https://hetzner.com/cloud/).
Then you'll need you have the [terraform](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/install-cli), [helm](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/), and [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) cli installed. The easiest way is to use the [gofish](https://gofi.sh/#install) package manager to install them.

_The Hetzner cli `hcloud` is also useful to have, mainly for debugging without having to use the Hetzner website. See how to install it [here](https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli)._
### ⚠️ [Do not skip] Creating the terraform.tfvars file
1. Create a project in your Hetzner Cloud Console, and go to **Security > API Tokens** of that project to grab the API key. Take note of the key! ✅

It will take a few minutes to complete, and then you should see a green output with the IP addresses of the nodes. Then you can immediately kubectl into it (using the kubeconfig.yaml saved to the project's directory after the install).
Just using the command `kubectl --kubeconfig kubeconfig.yaml` would work, but for more convenience, either create a symlink from `~/.kube/config` to `kubeconfig.yaml`, or add an export statement to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` file, as follows:

Of course, to get the path, you could use the `pwd` command.
