Hetzner doesn’t really have abstracted cloud services, they’re basically just bare metal servers or VPS.


They are on the way, they introduced s3, and now better dns Management

There is still a lot missing, and tbh the s3 did not work great when I tested it.


Cloud services like AWS offer VPSes (Lightsail) so the boundary is very blurry. In any case Hertzner offers load balances, firewalls, private networks, which is fairly cloudy stuff.


They’re building out more cloud capability but not anywhere near the level that AWS and the rest have.

AWS has way more managed business logic. Directory services, authentication, serverless PaaS, virtual workstations, data lakes, code deployment, the list goes on and on.

Load balancers and firewalls are extremely basic in comparison.


A VPS is still "cloud" though, isn't it?
