Same story. Ssd of my machine for work crashed and after the replacement I was ready for work with everything customized and configured 30 minutes later.

A new node for my cluster arrives? 30 minutes later the new one is setup and integrated in my k8s home setup. Reusing complete profiles combined with files for hardware specifics.

I can even upgrades major versions fearlessly and had 0 problems the last years.
