Summary

  • Adds a "Reboot nodes" section to the "Access and manage embedded clusters" page, between the HA section and the "Reset nodes and remove clusters" section
  • Covers single-node maintenance windows, rolling reboots for multi-node HA clusters, and etcd quorum safety for controller nodes
  • Documents that no cordon/drain is needed for reboots (k0s auto-restarts via systemd)
  • Includes a kubectl get nodes check for verifying a node has rejoined after reboot

Prompted by a vendor question in Slack about best practices for restarting nodes. This guidance applies to both EC v2 and v3 since both use k0s as the underlying Kubernetes distribution.

Test plan

  • Verify the new section renders correctly on the docs site
  • Confirm the shell kubectl get nodes command example is accurate for the current EC CLI

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Vendors and their customers need guidance on safely rebooting nodes in
Embedded Cluster installations. This adds a "Reboot nodes" section
covering single-node maintenance windows, rolling reboots for HA
clusters, and quorum safety for controller nodes.

Same reboot guidance added to the v2 versioned docs so both versions
cover it.
