Bare-Metal Chronicles: Tinkerbell, Cluster API & GitOps
summary
Shows how Cluster API plus Tinkerbell and GitOps actually provisions clusters: uses Cluster API provider for Tinkerbell (kpt) to translate Cluster API CRDs into Tinkerbell templates/workflows, requires a Tinkerbell server and hardware inventory, and uses Argo CD watching a Helm chart on a management cluster (demo runs the management cluster on kind). Live demo changes scale a MachineDeployment from 1 to 4 workers on AWS via Argo CD, controllers reconcile and new nodes join; Tinkerbell bare‑metal demo is described and available as a recorded demo.
