Copied from PRODUCT2A-52

Goals
Problem Statement: k0smotron Anywhere ClusterTemplate. This ClusterTemplate allows for deploying and managing remote machine-based clusters on Linux hosts.

• Enable simple cluster deployment on any SSH-accessible Linux hosts
• Support organizations with existing on-premises/remote infrastructure

Major deliverables

• ClusterTemplate Definition
• Template structure following k0rdent standards
• Required fields for SSH access and host details
• Default configurations for k0smotron deployments

Who it benefits

• Platform Engineers managing on-premises infrastructure
• Organizations with existing Linux hosts
• Organizations preferring SSH-based cluster management

Acceptance criteria

• Template successfully creates k0s clusters on remote machines
• Consistent patterns with other k0rdent templates
• Provides cluster lifecycle operations (create, update, delete)

Assumptions

• Target hosts are Linux-based systems
• SSH access is enabled and configured
• Network connectivity exists between k0rdent and hosts
• One SSH key that is pre-generated and available
• Host OS meets k0s requirements

Limitations

• Linux hosts only
• Requires pre-existing SSH access
• No automatic network configuration

Out of scope

• SSH key generation/management
• Host provisioning/OS installation
• Network infrastructure setup
• Windows host support
• Custom remote machine agents
• Host system management
