Post excerpt:
I created this terraform/tofu module that provisions a k8s/k3s cluster on Hetzner's cloud. If you compare the price to popular hyperscalers you get 10x the value for your buck.

# Design Brief: Vibrant Pop

Full-bleed high-saturation brand backdrops, oversized bold display type, and high-contrast buttons, common across creator tools and consumer apps.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ffcb1b;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #292b3b;
  --muted-foreground: #efeedc;
  --accent: #005373;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Lato", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Lato", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "Roboto Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFCB1B (~58%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~33%) · Text #292B3B (~5%) · Muted Text #EFEEDC (~2%) · Accent #005373 (~2%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Code Block / Terminal / CLI
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Code & Terminal
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Vibrant Pop (Light canvas, airy density) featuring split copy & visual layout and code block / terminal / cli visuals.

## Avoid

- Muted corporate gray palettes
- Tiny low-contrast body text
- Overly formal enterprise tables

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
