Hi <@U022MC9A3A7> Yes, you should be able to do that as some people have already done it before. For example, you could use Pulumi to interact with vSphere and then deploy k3s to create a kubernetes cluster.

Alternatively, Digital Ocean (supported by Pulumi) has some VM offering, or even some managed k8s offering quite cheap.

The RKE provider will do this perfectly:

thanks all! the RKE provider fits my needs perfectly since i am using Rancher to provision downstream clusters.
