Hetzner's June 15 Hike Hit CCX 175%: Recomputing What Your Bex Fleet Really Costs
Hetzner split its cloud catalog on June 15 — CX and CAX rose ~33% while CCX and CPX more than doubled. A three-node Bex fleet now spans €16 to €129 a month depending only on which family your MachineDeployment asks for.
k0rdent 1.0 vs Plain Cluster API: What a Super Control Plane Actually Buys Your Fleet
k0rdent 1.0 pairs Cluster API with a template-driven super control plane for fleet-wide provisioning and FinOps. Here's what its KCM/KOF stack buys over plain CAPH plus Flux — and where the leaner setup still wins.
K8gb Hits CNCF Incubating: DNS GSLB for Self-Hosted Clusters Without Route 53
k8gb moved to CNCF Incubating on July 18, 2026 — the first vendor-neutral DNS GSLB to clear the bar. One Gslb CR, two Hetzner regions, and 30-second DNS failover with no Route 53 or Cloudflare LB.
Kubero Nailed Kubernetes-Native PaaS — But Somebody Still Has to Build the Cluster
Kubero gives you Heroku-like deploys on Kubernetes with GitOps review apps and 160+ templates, but it won't provision the cluster. A table-driven comparison with Coolify and Dokploy shows where single-box ends, where Kubero fits, and why a Cluster API fleet is the missing machine layer.
Netcup's €8.74 Box vs Hetzner's €42.99 CCX: What a Second EU Provider Actually Costs Your Fleet
After Hetzner's third 2026 hike tripled dedicated CCX pricing, Netcup's RS 1000 G12 offers 4 dedicated EPYC cores for €8.74 — but no CAPH provider, fewer regions, and no declarative machine lifecycle. A fleet-scale recompute with honest gaps.
OVHcloud's Six-Day Outage: What a Multi-Day Recovery Window Actually Costs a Tenant
OVHcloud's web hosting incident took 5 days 18 hours to fully mitigate in H1 2026 — the longest web hosting window IncidentHub tracked in six months. A worked accounting of what 138 hours costs a tenant with no failover, why SLA credits don't cover it, and what the same failure looks like when your fleet remediates itself in minutes.
Your Rented Control Plane Costs More Than Your Servers: What Qovery's $299–$2,099 Agentic Platform Fee Actually Buys
Qovery's $299–$2,099/month control-plane fee sits on top of your cloud bill — not instead of it. A line-by-line accounting of what the agentic platform buys, why agents don't consume seats but do consume deployment minutes, and when owning the fleet costs less than renting the plane that manages it.
51 Days to Fix Object Storage: What a Seven-Week Remediation Tells You About the Real Reliability Bar
Scaleway's AMS object storage incident took 33 to 51 days to fully remediate region by region in H1 2026 — no data loss, but seven weeks where the managed SLA was the thing that was broken.
Gateway API 1.5 Is GA and Ingress-NGINX Is Dead — Your Migration Inventory for a Fleet That Routes Every Tenant Domain
Gateway API 1.5 promoted six features to GA on February 27, 2026 — the same quarter ingress-nginx shipped its final release. A concrete annotation-by-annotation inventory of what ingress2gateway translates cleanly, what needs hand-authoring, and why a botched migration on a PaaS that routes hundreds of tenant domains is fleet-wide breakage.
