About:
The Hetzner Cloud CLI (hcloud) is an official command-line utility designed for managing Hetzner Cloud infrastructure. It enables developers to provision and control servers, volumes, networks, and other resources programmatically. The tool is built in Go, offering fast performance and a straightforward interface for cloud automation.
Key Features:
  • Full API coverage for all Hetzner Cloud resources
  • Structured JSON output for easy scripting
  • Interactive mode for resource selection
  • Supports SSH key management and server access
  • Configurable output formatting
Use Cases:
  • Automating server provisioning in CI/CD pipelines
  • Managing cloud infrastructure via shell scripts
  • Quickly inspecting resource status and metrics
Alternatives:
  • Terraform – Terraform provides declarative infrastructure-as-code across multiple providers, while hcloud is a direct imperative client for Hetzner only.
  • OpenStack CLI – OpenStack CLI is for generic private clouds; hcloud is specifically optimized for Hetzner's public cloud API.
