Today we are adding Hetzner Cloud to Fractal Cloud. Teams that choose Hetzner for European sovereignty can now provision secure, production‑ready Kubernetes and move workloads across vendors with a single, automated workflow. The result is developer self service with governance built in, and a clear path to sovereign multicloud without lock in.
Many European companies prefer Hetzner to meet data residency and sovereignty goals. Until now, getting a safe, auditable and scalable developer platform on Hetzner required custom engineering and manual guardrails. Fractal Cloud removes that work. You get ready to use infrastructure that meets security and compliance needs while keeping developer experience simple.
- Fully managed Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud, optimized for scale and resilience;- Secure by default with RBAC, defense in depth, automated internal PKI and mutual TLS across services;- Safe developer self service with namespace level access and automated deploy permissions;- Complete audit trails that show who changed what and when;- One workflow to migrate workloads across cloud vendors to support sovereign strategies;- Consistent operations across providers using the same blueprints and controls.
Fractal Cloud is a platform engineering solution that delivers secure, compliant infrastructure across any cloud. It gives developers ready to use building blocks and architecture templates while operations teams govern through centralized automation and policy. Under the hood, the Fractal Automation Engine orchestrates every step. Fractals are defined with our SDK in general purpose languages, today Java and next C# and Typescript. No domain specific language is required. No Terraform, Bicep or CloudFormation is needed. The Automation Engine replaces traditional IaC scripting with versioned blueprints and controlled operations.What you do:- Pick a blueprint for your application pattern;- Choose Hetzner as the provider and instantiate;- Grant teams access by namespace with built in RBAC;- Operate with standard actions for update, scale, rotate secrets and more;
Every environment instantiated through Fractal Cloud applies consistent controls. Identity, network policy, logging, backup and observability are wired in from the start. Changes are tracked. Updates can be rolled out in a controlled way. Teams ship faster without bypassing reviews, and platform owners keep a single source of truth for policy.
Sovereign cloud is not just about where you run. It is about how easily you can move. With Fractal Cloud, the same blueprint can target different providers without rewriting infrastructure. That gives customers the freedom to choose the best vendor over time, the same way they switch phone operators, and it gives emerging European cloud providers a fair path to compete.
This is only the beginning. With Fractal Cloud you can deploy and manage services that are available only on hyperscalers, as managed functions (FaaS), databases (DBaaS) and more. Our goal is to minimize differences across vendors so platform teams expose one experience, and developers focus on applications rather than vendor specifics.
Developers: ship without tickets. Use production ready templates. No deep cloud expertise required.Infrastructure and Operations: standardize once. Enforce policy everywhere. Monitor and update through one control plane.Technology leaders: lower risk from vendor lock in. Improve time to market. Align cloud choices with sovereignty goals.
If you run on Hetzner Cloud or plan to adopt a sovereign multicloud approach, we can help you move quickly and safely.Next steps:- Book a walkthrough of Hetzner on Fractal Cloud- Bring a pilot workload and see automated migration in action- Explore how your platform team can publish internal blueprints with our SDKCreate your account or request a demo!
