summary
Cluster API is at v1alpha3 and introduces a v1alpha3 control plane resource plus five CRDs: Cluster, ControlPlane, Machine, MachineSet, MachineDeployment and it treats Machine as immutable Machine objects so upgrades replace nodes not patch them. Demo uses a Helm chart reconciled by Argo CD-driven GitOps upgrade to move a 1.18.8 cluster to 1.19.1, rolling new machines into a 3 master / 3 worker demo cluster across AWS with new instances created and old ones deleted in about 15–20 minutes. Project has ~200 contributors and multiple providers including AWS Azure GCP vSphere and bare metal.
