tldr: their infra that interfaces directly with accelerator uses really old computers and they are unsupported in newer versions of rhel. Only those machines are affected by these good news.
Personally, this looks weird, they are planning to run like 20 years old machines for another 10 to save money on replacing them while at the same time they are planning (or already in the process) migration to k8s?
What's the problem with running those 20 year old machines as kubelets?
