Upgrading Hundreds of Kubernetes Clusters
When it came to deployment, I had several options, and I chose the hard way: deploying Kubernetes on bare metal nodes using KubeSpray. Troubleshooting bare metal Kubernetes deployments honed my skills in pinpointing issues. This hands-on experience provided a deep understanding of how each component, like the Control Plane, kubelet, Container Runtime, and scheduler, interacts to orchestrate containers.

Zarf: K8s in Airgapped Environments
Worth noting that if you like ansible, Kubespray has had documented air-gap installation since 2018 https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/commit/963c3479...

How many of you are running kubernetes on prem?
About 1yr ago I ran k8s with 300 nodes using kube spray https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray . Never had any real issue with it. We did finally move to the cloud though.

Building your own Kubernetes distribution
We build our own distro called Compliant Kubernetes, and we use (a fork of) kubespray to install the base Kubernetes layer. Our distro is entirely open source, so you can use it as a reference, if you want.

Ansible for provisioning nodes
You may want to look at kubespray. They are ansible playbooks for provisioning clusters.

Self-Managed Kubernetes Distributions
No worries! I use AWX with Ansible and love it. For this use case I think that is moving in the direction away from what I'm already using (i.e. more advanced). I don't think I need that level of flexibility when it comes to controlling the lifecycle of K8s nodes. Essentially what I'm looking for is something like managed K8s but leaning more towards the self-managed side to have some more level of control, e.g. easy swapping of the CNI or CSI. Another tricky thing is upgrading nodes, which kubespray has established playbooks for. Upgrading K8s via custom playbooks sounds way over my head right now, I can't see benefit in doing that (for myself personally, of course) over using the kubespray playbooks which are robust.
