Declare the Desired State of Your Infrastructure

Our platform is fully compatible with declarative configurations, an approach that uses configuration files to define the desired state of your infrastructure and applications. This ensures consistency and reproducible configurations across all environments. You can version control, test and audit changes before they take effect. You can also take advantage of CI/CD pipelines for powerful infrastructure management.

“

On Hetzner, I'm able to achieve a much more cost-efficient setup than on AWS and Azure. The problem is that it's not straightforward to set up and manage Kubernetes on Hetzner. But with Syself, you just connect to it, configure your API keys and declaratively manage clusters. I couldn't imagine a more convenient way to spin up clusters, and the costs for their offering are already offset by the savings of the first few Hetzner machines.
