        <description><![CDATA[<p>I thought I'd start a discussion here where I can occassionally post smaller bits of Hetzner news, funny and cool pictures, and other random Hetzner stuff.</p>

<p>So here's the first piece of news:<br />
We have our line of Storage Share products that are based on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share" title="Nextcloud">Nextcloud</a>. One of the biggest criticisms when we launched them was that it wasn't possible to use your own domain. But now we are running a beta test for using domains of your choice. To participate in the beta, you need to have a Storage Share package. Then just pick a domain that you want, set up a CNAME record for it, and write us a quick support ticket via the admin interface (konsoleH). Our team will let you know when the domain is active. <br /><img src="http://talk.lowendspirit.com/uploads/editor/ai/74lap3th86vc.jpg" alt="" title="" /></p>

        <title>Announcing Cloudflare for SaaS for Everyone</title>
        <link>https://dev.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/discussion/3918/announcing-cloudflare-for-saas-for-everyone</link>

        <guid isPermaLink="false">3918@/index.php?p=/discussions</guid>
        <description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by <a href="https://dev.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/profile/Laton" rel="nofollow">@Laton</a>, 24 Apr 2021</em><br /><small>Article was migrated from WordPress to Vanilla in March 2022</small></p>

<p><img src="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/uploads/editor/73/vn4x16y1spbj.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>Cloudflare has recently adapted their <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/ssl-for-saas-providers/">SSL for SaaS</a> product, which was originally limited only to their Enterprise customers but has now been released publicly. Yesterday they announced their Cloudflare for SaaS solution available to everyone. And to reflect their recent service evolution of the product they have re-named it to: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/saas/">Cloudflare for SaaS</a>.</p>

<p>You may ask yourself: <em>What exactly is SaaS?</em><br />
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a method of providing software to an end-user where the software is not installed and maintained by the user, but via hosted services (most often through a web browser). Popular examples of such a service include Salesforce, Google Apps, Microsoft Office 365, etc.</p>

<p><img src="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/uploads/editor/wr/ss73sxt4l6wk.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>Since the 15th of April, they have released their beta stage, which is available for sign up if you submit your request <a rel="nofollow" href="https://forms.gle/crARoXd4taCtoSti8">here</a>. Before the introduction of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/saas/">Cloudflare for SaaS</a>, your best bet was for your customer to set up a CNAME record and have them generate a private key and CSR.</p>

<p>On top of that, you would be required to maintain a solution to generate and securely store private keys. But with the introduction of Cloudflare for SaaS, it is now more freely accessible and has provided less of a burden when managing multiple customers.</p>

<p><img src="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/uploads/editor/ya/rh7reoegqtg4.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<h4 data-id="cloudflare-workers">Cloudflare Workers</h4>

<p>Back in January when SSL for SaaS was announced, 80% of beta users were already building their application on Cloudflare workers. But by combining the use of Cloudflare for SaaS with <a rel="nofollow" href="https://workers.cloudflare.com/">Cloudflare workers</a>, will overall reduce the time and core resources from building your application.</p>

<h4 data-id="security">Security</h4>

<p>It also has already provided <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/ddos/">DDoS Protection</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/waf/">Web Application Firewall (WAF)</a> built-in. Alongside the benefits offered to the Enterprise customers at no additional cost.</p>

<p><img src="https://talk.lowendspirit.com/uploads/editor/96/7te3da508k5e.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>So, if you want to have more control of your SSL certificate solution and would like a simple but manageable solution, then why not sign up for the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://forms.gle/crARoXd4taCtoSti8">beta</a>.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Marketed as the world’s first k3s-powered, managed Kubernetes service I started kicking the tires this weekend, and so far I am really impressed. Very easy to use, and fast <img src="https://dev.lowendspirit.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" height="18" /></p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I thought of creating this thread as the title above suggests. Some Beta programs are not exactly free, but several providers offer a free upgrade to beta testers.  Or they offer discounts and you are able to use the tools that otherwise would cost substantially higher than $ 7.</p>

<h2 data-id="my-recommendations-july-2020">My recommendations -July 2020</h2>

<p>I have been toying around with the two following tools recently. They are- <br />
Pixelied  for graphic design Link. (You can read my detailed review <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amarvyas.in/pixelied-graphic-designing/" title="Review of Pixelied by Amar Vyas">here</a><br />
and <br />
Cleaver Cloud - similar to Runcloud or Server Avatar  Link: <a href="https://cleaver.cloud" rel="nofollow">https://cleaver.cloud</a></p>

<p>Both are in beta, and in particular I am rather impressed by Pixelied. You can create, resize, edit images, download JPG, PNG or transparent PNGs. I have used the assets for production grade work -  images for our podcasts, social media, blog and some posts on LES. <br /><img src="https://img.gaatha.co/PcfZMO+" width="400" alt="image" /></p>

<p>Cleaver is a little quirky - required Ubuntu 20.04 (only) and that might not be up to everyone's tastes. But <br />
worth a try- I recall a few posts in which folks were interested in learning more about /trying out some fo the tools like Runcloud.<br />
Rather than plan vanilla WP or CMS "x" only - you get a bit of a choice including node.js</p>
