I'm not saying you can't run production on it, after all RHV was based on it. What I'm saying is that it's a run at your own risk because you can't buy support. Some companies are okay with taking on that risk, others aren't.
You should be automating that stuff anyway. Make a template that has the drivers installed, or write up some Ansible that does the install for you. It's annoying, but it shouldn't be a problem once you have an automation pipeline in place.
Argh good god. Ansible. Another topic that I wanted to dive in recently. It seems to be more and more used in all kinds of environments. Gotta get my fingers on it and get to know my way around in it.
Ansible is my specialty. It's kind of hard to get in the mindset of declarative after all the years of writing imperative scripts. Once you do, it's amazing.
