Could you explain:

1) What are the limitations of the scaling you do? Can I do this programmatically? I.e. send some requests to get additional pods of a specific type online?

2) What have you done in terms of security hardening? you mention hardened pods/cluster, but specifically, did you do pentest? Just follow best practice? Periodic scans? Stress tests?

Thanks for your questions! 1) The platform provides a control plane to help you deploy the cluster on your own Hetzner account, so you are in control of resources and pay direct usage costs to Hetzner. 2) Because you have full access to kubernetes cluster and it runs on your own Hetzner account, the security of the cluster is a shared responsibility and you can fine tune the configuration according to your requirements. The platform security is totally our responsibility. We try to follow best practices and internal penetration tests were conducted, but we're still in beta and try to see if there's interest for such product before launching the stable version.
