Hands-on with OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes

Been testing EU managed k8s providers one by one for eucloudcost.com, OVH was next.

Short version: it just works.

Free control plane, free egress in EU regions. You only pay for nodes. Coming from AWS this feels wrong somehow.

I also managed to set both vRack subnets to no_gateway = true and then spent an hour wondering why Traefik was stuck in Pending. Turns out Octavia needs a gateway on the load balancer subnet. Anyway.

Main issue is no RWX volumes out of the box. File Storage for RWX exists but starts at 150 GiB which is overkill for most things, so out of the Box only RWO exists ...

Also they burned down a datacenter in 2021 so now every resource in the console shows you the AZ deployment mode.

Put together a reference repo with the full OpenTofu setup if you want a starting point: https://github.com/mixxor/opentofu-kubernetes-ovhcloud

Full writeup in comments.

Anyone else running OVHcloud in prod / dev ?
Curious if you hit anything weird I missed...
