Complex Simple Solutions (Day 5 & 6)

After the whole VM boot ordering not working the way i wanted, I finally decided to uncluster the nodes. (Also very likely a skill issue). To be fair having the nodes in a cluster made it easier for centralized management and easy VM migrations. From LXC to K3s This is
