Show HN: We moved from AWS to Hetzner, saved 90%, kept ISO 27001 with Ansible (Score: 150+ in 4 hours)

Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6wtJS
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6wtJS

Earlier this year I led our migration off AWS to European cloud (Hetzner + OVHcloud), driven by cost (we cut 90%) and data sovereignty (GDPR + CLOUD Act concerns).
We rebuilt key AWS features ourselves using Terraform for VPS provisioning, and Ansible for everything from hardening (auditd, ufw, SSH policies) to rolling deployments (with Cloudflare integration). Our Prometheus + Alertmanager + Blackbox setup monitors infra, apps, and SSL expiry, with ISO 27001-aligned alerts. Loki + Grafana Agent handle logs to S3-compatible object storage.
The stack includes:
• Ansible roles for PostgreSQL (with automated s3cmd backups + Prometheus metrics)
• Hardening tasks (auditd rules, ufw, SSH lockdown, chrony for clock sync)
• Rolling web app deploys with rollback + Cloudflare draining
• Full monitoring with Prometheus, Alertmanager, Grafana Agent, Loki, and exporters
• TLS automation via Certbot in Docker + Ansible
I wrote up the architecture, challenges, and lessons learned: https://medium.com/@accounts_73078/goodbye-aws-how-we-kept-i...
I’m happy to share insights, diagrams, or snippets if people are interested — or answer questions on pitfalls, compliance, or cost modeling.

Tell HN: Beware confidentiality agreements that act as lifetime non competes (Score: 153+ in 6 hours)

Link: https://readhacker.news/c/6wuA4

Just a note of warning from personal experience.
Companies don’t really need non-competes anymore. Some companies take an extremely broad interpretation of IP confidentiality, where they consider doing any work in the industry during your lifetime an inevitable confidentiality violation. They argue it would be impossible for you to work elsewhere in this industry during your entire career without violating confidentiality with the technical and business instincts you bring to that domain. It doesn’t require conscious violation on your part (they argue).
So beware and read your employment agreement carefully.
