Why use warewulf? Seems like there have got to be simpler solutions for dealing with bare metal clusters than all of this.

Perhaps you have not seen some of the other solutions out there in this space.

Warewulf _is_ the simpler solution.

Always feels like it will be simpler... you start with some iPXE, start building, and 6 months later you have a poor imitation of a product like this that works only for your specific use cases and causes you a headache if the company pivots and you have to make it do something new.

Been there, built that. Next time I'm using something with a community, and if it doesn't do what I need, I'm contributing upstream until it does.

Ooof sounds like experience talking. I guess flexibility is kinda paramount here. Do you think you'd use something like warewulf then?
