HOWTO: Bootstrap an RKE2 Cluster via HyOps

This HOWTO deploys a production-ready RKE2 cluster through the HybridOps onprem/rke2@v1 module — control plane nodes, worker nodes, and a default storage class — on Proxmox-backed VMs with IPs allocated from NetBox. You will work through the module input map, understand the cluster bootstrap sequence, validate the resulting cluster from the run record, and confirm that the GitOps agent (ArgoCD or Flux) is ready for workload onboarding. The companion workloads module is covered separately.

What this covers:

• RKE2 cluster deployment via onprem/rke2@v1 with NetBox IPAM-driven addressing
• Control plane and worker input map: node IPs, CNI selection, storage class, and TLS SANs
• Post-bootstrap validation: cluster health, node registration, and GitOps agent readiness
