+# SUSE Edge Elemental Node Reset Script
+# Copyright 2024 SUSE Software Solutions
+
+# This script attempts to cleanup a node that has been deployed via Edge Image
+# Builder with the integrations for Elemental registration; in other words,
+# vanilla SLE Micro 5.5, *not* SLE Micro for Rancher (also known as Elemental
+# Teal), that has used the "--no-toolkit" registration option.
+#
+# The default behaviour in Rancher/Elemental is that in the event that a
+# cluster is deleted in Rancher, the Kubernetes cluster running on a node (or
+# set of nodes) will not be automatically cleaned up; the cluster will be
+# orphaned and will remain running. Furthermore, the Elemental MachineInventory
+# will be removed, so it's no longer visible in the list of registered nodes.
+#
+# This script cleans up the installed Kubernetes cluster so no traces remain
+# and forces a re-registration with the original Elemental registration config.
+#
+# WARNING: This script *will* cause data loss as it removes all Kubernetes
+#          persistent data. There is also an unattended switch for automated
+#          reset. You have been warned!
