This draft captures the practical flow for building a bare-metal Kubernetes cluster with MAAS and DeepOps: commission the nodes, deploy the operating system, prepare the inventory, tune the Kubernetes variables for the environment, and run the cluster build with enough observability to make the result usable.
This draft turns a raw build note into a practical cluster setup guide: wipe the storage disks carefully, prepare the network, deploy Kubernetes with DeepOps, add MetalLB, and leave the cluster in a state where Ceph and monitoring can be layered on cleanly.
This draft captures a small but blocking issue in a DeepOps-style Ansible run where the remote Python environment was missing the pkg_resources module from setuptools.
