I had a good time with Kubespray. Essentially you just need to edit the Ansible inventory and assign the appropriate roles.

Sure, if it works, upgrades are somewhat fraught though (I mean, upgrading a 20 node cluster is an hour long ansible run, or it was when we were using it)

We switched to rke, it’s much better.

An hour to upgrade a 20 node cluster doesn't seem unreasonable for me - when you are doing a graceful upgrade that includes moving workloads between nodes. I don't know anything about rke. Might be interesting but it seems different enough from upstream Kubernetes that you have to learn new things. Seems to me a bit similar to Openshift 4 where the cluster manages the underlying machines.

RKE is minutes on the same cluster, and a one click rollback too. It’s just K8s packaged as containers really.
