Hosted control planes require a fundamentally different operational playbook from standalone clusters: machine management uses NodePool instead of MachineSet/MHC, ClusterVersion is ignored in favor of HostedCluster CR for updates, the web console cannot show control plane status or manage machines, and etcd restore uses a restart-date annotation — making standalone operational procedures largely inapplicable.
Each HCP divergence point invalidates a standalone operational procedure — together they demonstrate that HCP needs its own runbook, not adaptations of standalone procedures
