Topic	When to use
Heterogeneous Clusters	Multiple node types — different GPU SKUs, NIC SKUs, or OFED requirements.
Cluster Topology Presets	Generate manifests offline against a known machine type, or use l8k preset list / l8k preset update.
Automation and CI/CD	Wire l8k into a CI/CD pipeline or AI agent — JSON output, exit codes, l8k schema.
Troubleshooting	Collect a sosreport and diagnose common failures.
