Load balancers make it stress-free to scale requests by automatically distributing traffic through your infrastructure. It handles use cases such as TLS termination or creates an internet-facing entry point to route traffic to the Hetzner cloud network.


Optimized performance

Network communication

Network communication feature allows servers to communicate over private networks and establish complex network topologies. Ideal in the sense of running Kubernetes clusters or database servers that can not be made publicly reachable.


Snapshot functionality
