What is a good option to manage clusters in rancher(create them with some configuration and then let the cluster config evolve over time)? GUI (does not scale, no IAC, requires a lot of guides to be written), I investigated: rancher-cli (no option to use node template for nodes, no option to use a cluster template that i previously created), terraform (looks like it should be possible but the tool does not feel super easy to work with), curl+api (very custom, time consuming, hard to maintain but everything done in the UI should atleast be supported), ansible(not the correct tool to setup clusters through rancher?), fleet (not supported? no examples in the repo https://github.com/rancher/fleet-examples/, only used to manage clusters once they are there?), Other tools?. Thanks!

Really? Looks like it only have options to do things on existsing clusters?
Currently moving forward with the curl option but it feels very wrong:S

@careful-piano-35019 How do you setup your clusters? Manual GUI?
Thanks
