Status: OUT
Bare metal edge deployments achieve full autonomy — provisioned via ZTP, updated via TALM canary gates, and operating with reduced capability profiles — only when SR-IOV drain issues on single-node topology are resolved and the node configuration pipeline validates all inputs.
depth-5 bare-metal edge divergence assumes the full stack works; depth-3 node config validation ensures changes are caught before deployment — but SR-IOV requiring drain disable on SNO and missing kubelet API validation both create gaps where the autonomous model silently degrades
