The Cloud Margin Suite: Transparent DevOps Pricing & Products
The Cloud Margin Suite is a set of standardized infrastructure products that help companies cut cloud costs by up to 60% using dedicated Hetzner infrastructure. From a $495 Infrastructure Audit to fully managed Kubernetes platforms, each product has transparent pricing and fixed monthly costs — no hourly DevOps billing. Choose the product that fits your business model below.
Why Are Companies Overpaying for Cloud Infrastructure?
Every dollar you pay AWS for compute is a dollar you could keep. We build, manage, and operate dedicated infrastructure on dedicated Hetzner infrastructure — so you get enterprise-grade reliability at a fraction of the cost.
Compute Cost Reduction
vs. AWS, Azure, or Heroku for equivalent compute and storage.
Data Sovereignty
All infrastructure runs in Hetzner’s own datacenters — Germany, Finland, and the USA. Region and server type are selected based on your workload and compliance requirements.
DevOps Hiring Needed
We are your outsourced infrastructure department. You focus on your product.
Where Should You Start?
Not sure if a cloud exit makes sense for you? The Audit is a paid qualification step that gives you a clear, honest answer — before you commit to anything.
- “Safe-to-Move” Matrix — Green (Go) vs. Red (Stay) analysis of every workload.
- Arbitrage Calculation — Exact financial projection of your savings.
- Hybrid Architecture Blueprint — Where data stays, where compute moves.
- Zero Risk — If we can’t save you money, you’ll know before spending a dollar on migration.

How Does the Process Work?
Audit
We analyze your cloud spend and identify what’s safe to move and what stays put.
Architect
We design your hybrid or dedicated infrastructure. You approve the blueprint.
Migrate
We build the clusters, set up networking, and migrate workloads with near-zero downtime.
Operate
We manage the platform with 24/7 automated monitoring. You focus on your product and customers.
Have questions about our DevOps products?
How much can I actually save by leaving AWS?
Our clients typically save 50–70% on compute costs by moving stateless workloads to dedicated Hetzner infrastructure. The exact savings depend on your current spend, but any company paying more than $2,000/month on cloud compute is a strong candidate.
What happens to my databases during migration?
It depends on which product fits your needs.
Shadow Run / Managed Platform: We migrate your full stack — application and databases — to our managed platform with a 7-day risk-free Shadow Run. We mirror 100% of your incoming HTTP traffic to the clone so you can watch the dashboard handle your peak workload before cutting over.
Managed Platform: We migrate your full stack — application and databases — to Hetzner. Managed Postgres or MySQL runs on our infrastructure with automated backups and point-in-time recovery. Near-zero-downtime migration via logical replication. Single environment, fully managed.
The Infrastructure Audit ($495) maps your architecture and recommends the right option.
Do I need to rewrite my application code?
No. Your application connects to the same database endpoints. The WireGuard mesh network handles routing transparently. We have migrated apps from Heroku, AWS ECS, and raw EC2 — typically without application code changes.
What is the difference between the Partner Program and Managed Platform?
The Partner Program (Agency Cloud) is for dev shops and agencies that resell infrastructure to their own clients — you apply for partner pricing and get white-label capabilities. Managed Platform is for a single company that needs us to run their infrastructure directly. Same technology, different business model and buying process.
Do you offer 24/7 support?
Our automated monitoring and self-healing runs 24/7. For human platform engineering support, we discuss coverage scope and response times during the qualification call, as it depends on your tier and requirements.
What about GDPR and data sovereignty?
All infrastructure runs in Hetzner’s own datacenters — Germany, Finland, and the USA. Region and server type are selected based on your workload and compliance requirements. Your data is subject to German and EU data protection law. For AI workloads, this means your training data and model weights never leave the EU.
Can I run AI models on Hetzner instead of using OpenAI?
Yes. Our AI Infrastructure Suite lets you run 7B to 70B+ parameter models on dedicated Hetzner GPU servers (GEX44 and GEX131). You get fixed monthly costs instead of per-token pricing, full data privacy, and typically 80% lower costs than cloud GPU providers.
What happens if I outgrow my current plan?
Every product scales with add-on pricing. Need more clusters? More GPU nodes? More capacity? We add nodes to your existing infrastructure without downtime. You only pay for what you use.
Where are your servers located?
We run on Hetzner’s own datacenters in Germany (Falkenstein, Nuremberg), Finland (Helsinki), and the USA (Ashburn, VA and Hillsboro, OR). In Germany, we use dedicated bare metal servers for maximum performance. In regions where bare metal is not available, we use dedicated Hetzner servers — same isolation, same cost advantage, same management. GPU infrastructure for AI workloads is available in Germany and Finland only. We recommend the optimal region and server type during your Infrastructure Audit.
