Is your control plane high available? How hands off is it?

It's up to you. You can configure it with one master or HA multiple masters (e.g.). If you set the instance count for the masters pool >1 then my tool will create a load balancer in front of the API server.

The tool simply requires a small YAML config file and creates and configures everything that you need to get a fully functional cluster in a few minutes. It creates all the infrastructure resources (servers etc), it deploys kubernetes on all the nodes, and then installs some software that allows you to provision both load balancers and persistent volumes. It also installs a controller that makes upgrading to a new version easier.

What the tool does not install is other apps, because this would be too opinionated and depends from cluster to cluster.
