How to get started

UIO creates a cluster into your cloud account. Currently we only have support for Hetzner. Login to UIO Control and follow the steps below to get started.

Add your Token

Generate an API Token within your Hetzner project and add the token to your UIO Control account. Use our Hetzner referral link and get €20 cloud credit if you do not have an account already.

Buy UIO Credits

You can not create a cluster without UIO credits. You need to buy UIO credits or get them some other way before you can start the creation process. You need 1 UIO credit to be able to create 1 cluster.

Create your Cluster

You can now start the cluster creation process. Most companies hide what is going on behind the scenes. We don't. Click on the cluster name to see the installation process.

Enjoy the Show

We check that all services are provisioned correctly near the end of the process. Sit back and watch the checks zoom by successfully.

About

We are tech-native people with a big love for infrastructure.

UIO stands for UNMANAGED™ Infrastructure and Operations. The word UNMANAGED™ is so important to us that we applied for an official trademark.

UNMANAGED™ does not merely mean that we, UIO, do not manage your infrastructure. But we also don't want you, the end-user, to manage infrastructure and operations as a full-time job.

We aim to give individuals and organisations infrastructure that is mostly hands-off. We want to eliminate (or greatly reduce) all toil. We believe in building and using strong automation, simple tools and sensible solutions.

We strive to empower you.

FAQ - Things that you probably should know

  • What is UNMANAGED™?

    UNMANAGED™ is our philosophy. Some people might say it is a mindset. In the context of infrastructure we say: Solutions that are simple, which require no to minimal maintenance, and are focused on the right problem space, are UNMANAGED™. UNMANAGED™ is what we strive for.

  • Why are you using Hashicorp Nomad instead of Kubernetes?

    Nomad currently fits our specific use-case better. Please refer to the answer of the first question.

  • Is the UNMANAGED™ Cluster production-ready?

    Production-ready means different things to different people. It depends on your requirements and risk apetite. For our use-cases, it is. But if you have to ask; for now, the answer should probably be ABSOLUTELY NOT.

  • When are you going to offer this on $CLOUD_PROVIDER?

    We only support Hetzner at the moment but we are definitely planning to expand to other providers. Talk to us and find out.

  • What can I do with the UNMANAGED™ Cluster?

    The question should probably be "What CAN'T you do with the UNMANAGED™ Cluster?". Which is described in our Terms of Service. For anything else, you are only limited by your own imagination.

  • What is your SLA?

    There is no SLA. We offer no guarantees whatsoever.

  • Why does the status of my Token say error?

    Unfortunately, the token initialization breaks about 18% of the time because of 3rd party dependencies which is hard to code around for. We are working on a solution. In the meantime you may delete the token and try again. Don't give up, it WILL work!

  • That is not a very UNMANAGED™ response

    Who said UNMANAGED™ means perfect? Things may still break. We just don't invite the bad stuff from happening in the first place by being sensible.

  • I installed a cluster but the status says error, now what?

    That is very unfortunate, but it may happen sometimes. Send us a message with the logs so we can recover your credit and please try again.
