Hetzner is moving my VPS to the cloud, how will it turn out?

Question

Hetzner

Hello!
Yesterday a letter of happiness arrived from Hetzner.
Actually, the questions are: I have no experience with clouds, I have already got used to this VPS, I feel at home in its depths, everything is set up like clockwork and works without failures.
But now, with the transfer to the cloud, it breaks me - there are no boundaries of the hardware configuration, what kind of disks will there be and, most importantly, how fast will they work, will the cloud turn into shared hosting ??
In short, there are more questions than answers.

Dear Mr

Thank you for using our vServer products from the CX line (CX10-CX60). We would like to inform you that our Hetzner Cloud, which we released in January 2018, has replaced this product.

The good news: Your vServers will keep on running, and we will automatically migrate them, including snapshots and templates, to our administration interface Cloud Console starting in about two months. Your current vServers and monthly costs will stay the same. We will discontinue our current line of vServers; they will become part of our Hetzner Cloud products. It will no longer be possible to order any new vServers.

We will migrate the vServers listed below:

CX30 #777777 (8.8.8.8)
After the migration, you will use a different administration interface to manage and configure your vServer. It will switch from Robot to Cloud Console ( https://console.hetzner.cloud). By migrating to Cloud Console, you will gain access to many new features, including additional block storage (Volumes) and private networks (Networks). To automatically manage your instance via our API, you will need to use our Cloud API ( https://docs.hetzner.cloud) instead of the Robot Webservice API. For the Cloud API, we have lots of open source tools and integrations, including our Command Line Tool hcloud, language libraries for Python and Go, as well as plugins for Ansible and Terraform. Please see our GitHub account ( https://github.com/hetznercloud)for a list of Hetzner Cloud projects.

The following features cannot be transferred to the Cloud servers and will become unavailable:

Hetzner Monitoring Feature: Existing monitoring rules will cease to work.
Ordering licenses for Plesk, cPanel and Windows: Servers with existing licenses on them will continue to work, and we will invoice them as before; however, you will not be able to order new licenses.
We invite you to explore Cloud Console right now: Simply log in ( https://console.hetzner.cloud) using your existing Hetzner Account login details, and enjoy the new world of possibilities you find there.

If you have questions about the migration, please take a look at our vServer Migration FAQ (https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/VServerMigration/en).

We will send you another email with additional details one week before the actual migration takes place.

We understand that migrations like this one may cause you some inconvenience. We hope that the Hetzner Cloud's usability and features will more than make up for it. However, if you're unhappy with the planned migration, you can cancel your vServers at any time via your account on the Robot administration interface ( https://robot.your-server.de).

It seems to me that you have an unreasonably bad attitude towards shared hosting :))) But seriously - for its price - the flight is still normal. There is an opinion that Hetzner simply decided to transfer the entire infrastructure to the clouds, which he actually did, it has long been impossible to register VPS. And now, they seem to have gathered their courage and are slowly moving the UPUs to the clouds. I think if they wanted to "lower the quality" - they wouldn't bother with clouds, etc., because you can find much easier options for this.
I can't say exactly "how it will be with disks" specifically in your case, but we haven't noticed any problems yet. And for projects that are particularly demanding in terms of disk or processor resources, we simply take iron servers.

Answer 2

Given the lower price category, no big problems have been noticed with them yet. Yes, the disks are not the fastest, and the hardware is not quite server-based, but in which case support always helps to transfer to another server, to evenly distribute the load, we have already used this opportunity once.
