summary
kOps provisions cloud resources then boots nodes and installs kubelet, etcd, CNI and DNS, and now absorbs split components so they auto-install and stay version-compatible. It implements IAM roles for service accounts to avoid instance-privilege leakage, moves worker certs to node-generated keys with staggered 455–485 day lifetimes (AWS implemented now), and offers CA rotation (1.22) with staged rollouts. Testing expands to IPv6, arm64 and DigitalOcean, Terraform now manages state objects, and Azure alpha (1.20) works with VMSS and custom images.
