What Beyond Cloud does today

A control plane for Talos Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud. This page lists what you can use now and what isn't built yet, so you can decide whether it fits before you sign up.

Recreated from the Beyond Cloud app with example data.

Available now

Everything here works in early access.

  • Talos cluster provisioning on Hetzner Cloud

    Choose 1 or more control plane nodes, any number of workers, a location and server types. Runs as a 12-step workflow.

  • Workflow runs with history

    Status, timing and logs for every step. Retries with exponential backoff. Background recovery for runs that stall.

  • Live status

    Provisioning and workflow progress stream to the dashboard over WebSocket.

  • Kubeconfig download

    Get the admin kubeconfig for a finished cluster from the cluster page or the API.

  • Cluster import

    Register a cluster you already run, optionally read-only, with its GitOps repository and Argo CD links.

  • Cluster deletion workflow

    Validates the request, removes the Hetzner resources and then cleans up the records.

  • Encrypted secrets

    Cloud provider tokens and other credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and versioned when they change.

  • Workspaces and members

    Everything belongs to a workspace. Members have owner, admin or member roles.

  • Android app (preview)

    A mobile shell for the dashboard. See Downloads.
