Big news for both the lazy homelab admin that can set a TXT once and ultimately be more secure without spraying DNS Zone Edit tokens all over their infra AND for the poor enterprise folks that have to open a ticket and wait 3 weeks for a DNS record.
Very true. I have been in both roles.

I think you can get much farther with dedicated servers. I run a couple of nodes on Hetzner. The performance you get from a dedicated machine even if it is a 3 year old machine that you can get on server auction is absolutely bonkers and cannot be compared to VMs. The thing is that most of the server hardware is focused towards high core count, low clock speed processors that optimize for I/O rather than compute. It is overprovisioned by all cloud providers. Even the I/O part of the disk is crazy. It uses all sorts of shenanigans to get a drive that sitting on a NAS and emulating a local disk. Most startups do not need the hyper virtualized, NAS based drive. You can go much farther and much more cost-effectively with dedicated server rentals from Hetzner. I would love to know if they are any north-american (particularly canadian) companies that can compete with price and the quality of service like Hetzner. I know of OVH but I would love to know others in the same space.
I have seen hetzners cloud block storage to be quite slow. It became soon a bottleneck on our timescale databases. Now we're testing on netcup.com's "root servers" which are VPS with dedicated CPU cores and lots of very fast storage.

Seriously, 40 bucks a month gets you a great server at Hetzner then you can have mattermost there and many other office utilities.
I prefer netcup for my private stuff. Similar pricing and performance like hetzner root servers but their "root servers" are fully virtualized, so you get the hardware and storage/raid management included.

I wonder what the effect of their helm charts will be. As far as I know the charts play well together with their own images but not necessarily with other images (like the official images). Also in some cases particular versions of helm charts are needed for particular versions of the application/images.
So then there are no tagged versions of the images. How will this affect the future of the charts? The old (existing) charts can easily point to the old images in the legacy repository. But how about future development? Will this be stopped, so the charts will remain in the existing state? Or will it be continued but point to the new "latest" images - which means the chart/image combination could break at any time?
Can we now have lot of audio records with a documentation of whale behavior to train an AI and get a whale-translator at the end?
