STARTsmall RKE2 Cluster Automation documentation

Contents:

• Playbooks Overview
  • Playbook Execution Flow

The project’s automation is primarily driven by a dedicated Ansible Playbook repository, which serves as the central hub for bootstrapping the Kubernetes Cluster and Harbor. Ansible operates from a designated jump server (Ansible Node) and manages access securely via SSH keys, utilizing a dedicated named user on all target machines for streamlined operations.

The Ansible project is meticulously organized into logical groups of playbooks, YAML templates, and Jinja2 templates, ensuring modularity and maintainability.
