Extremely tightly coupled. There are movements to allow using different CSIs for non-root disks, but fully removing Longhorn from the equation is not yet possible. It would be a significant effort to deploy Harvester on top of a different underlying OS, and would be incompatible with Harvester's built-in zero-downtime upgrade process.

Thanks for your response Connor! I understand that this is complex, unfortunately we do have a compliance requirement to integrate with another distribution, so I guess I have to look into alternative solutions
