Cluster API Provider Hetzner (CAPH) is a Kubernetes Cluster API provider that enables declarative, Kubernetes-native creation and management of Kubernetes clusters on Hetzner Cloud and Hetzner bare-metal infrastructure. It extends the Kubernetes API with CRDs and offers self-healing, high-availability cluster operations.
Use cases
- provision kubernetes clusters on hetzner declaratively
- manage hetzner bare metal kubernetes nodes with cluster api
- self-healing kubernetes cluster lifecycle on hcloud
- create hybrid cloud and bare-metal kubernetes clusters
- automate kubernetes cluster upgrades on hetzner
- multi-tenant kubernetes cluster management on hetzner
When to choose
- You run Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud or Hetzner Robot bare-metal servers and want Cluster API-based declarative management
- You need self-healing machine health checks and remediation for cluster nodes
- You want a Kubernetes-native, GitOps-friendly alternative to manual cluster provisioning
- You need both cloud VMs and dedicated bare-metal servers in one cluster
When to avoid
- You use a cloud provider other than Hetzner - pick the matching Cluster API provider
- You want a fully managed Kubernetes service rather than self-managed clusters
- You are not familiar with Cluster API concepts and don't want to learn them
- You need turnkey production add-ons like CNI and node images out of the box - these must be prepared separately
