+> [!CAUTION]
+> If you are running hcloud-cloud-controller-manager in version <= v1.30.0, please update as soon as possible to at least [v1.30.1](https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-cloud-controller-manager/releases/tag/v1.30.1). The `server.datacenter` field is deprecated and will be removed from the API response after July 2026 ([see changelog](https://docs.hetzner.cloud/changelog#2025-12-16-phasing-out-datacenters)). Deployments of hcloud-cloud-controller-manager that are not updated when the field is removed from the API will **panic** and crash.

 The Hetzner Cloud [cloud-controller-manager](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/cloud-controller/) integrates your Kubernetes cluster with the Hetzner Cloud & Robot APIs.
