Last week, we [deployed 2i2c.mybinder.org](https://github.com/jupyterhub/mybinder.org-deploy/pull/3169), a single-node Kubernetes instance on [Hetzner](https://hetzner.com/cloud) cloud using [K3s](https://k3s.io/). This will run on a single node VM, with a Kubernetes instance that is entirely managed by us, and with managed object storage from Hetzner. Compared to other cloud providers, it is **around 5x cheaper per month**.

Running a single-node Kubernetes instance will be a cheap and effective way to handle a lot of `mybinder.org`'s capacity needs. Because it's a single node cluster, there is no auto-scaling (one reason it is so cheap), which reduces a lot of the complexity we'll have to manage. These are acceptable tradeoffs for a service like `mybinder.org`, which runs entirely ephemeral sessions with very limited resources and no promises about uptime, persistence, etc.
