While searching for any "git clone" instructions, seeing https://github.com/openmetalio/openmetal-docs/blob/main/docs... is a very bad sign since kubespray is indescribably slow and fragile. There are so many really great kubernetes bring-up tools nowadays, so using kubespray is a disservice

I guess if your business model is just enabling the customer to provision whatever they want onto their bare metal, or even OpenStack machines, ... I guess not your problem, but I still think either party could be more successful by picking a less fragile bring-up mechanism

First, thanks for checking it out!

I'll take that back to the engineering group - I don't think they formed a specific opinion so the feedback is really helpful. For Kubernetes, we validated OpenShift/OKD, Rancher, Kubespray as you mentioned, and kOps on our "pin" of OpenStack. We also use an OpenStack system with something call Magnum - though this one is up for discussion as Magnum may have a limited span in front of it. Check this if interested:

https://openmetal.io/docs/manuals/kubernetes-guides/

Our model does encourage them to go the way they want as it is a full root level OpenStack/etc. but absolutely we do want to give good guidance when they don't have their systems already going.
