Hello so I’m quite new to running kubernetes, I have ran it in a test environment and created some apps. However I’m looking to run it in production. How much work is it to maintain a cluster, meaning is it something that requires on going maintenance, or can I just leave it and it will keep running. I know that certs need to be updated for the control plane , is that something that is done automatically with rke2 I think with installation with kubeadm it is not. I really like rke2 I’m just wondering how much operational maintenance is involved. Thanks in advance

Based on the questions asked, I strongly suggest sitting some courses / training before you push anything to PROD. Lots of good free material out there.... can even start with the RKE2 training courses.
