WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
The path you're describing (Terraform and Ansible with kubeadm) is exactly what kubespray is, and it's literally built for installing a production-grade cluster.
I am using Rancher Desktop, but I hollow it out and delete the included node to install k3d :) Now that https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/985 is closed it should be a bit easier, but I didn't have any of the problems these folks mentioned with the workaround.
