Develop an automated workflow to safely rebuild a cluster node without manual intervention. The solution should handle the full lifecycle of the node, including cluster operations, VM recreation, and rejoining the cluster.

Requirements:

  • Cordon and uncordon a node in the cluster
  • Drain workloads from the node safely
  • Delete the existing VM
  • Recreate the VM using Terraform (without manually commenting/uncommenting configuration)
  • Configure SSH access automatically
  • Reinstall k3s and rejoin the node to the cluster

Acceptance criteria:

  • Node can be safely recreated by automation
