It takes a month to set up a Kickstart infrastructure (DHCP, TFTP, NFS, Kickstart profile(s)), a day to three days for an experienced system engineer to package the components, and a week to three weeks to test and package the configuration (by automating in %pre and %post of the RPM's). That's far less than one year, and far less than it takes to set up Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker and a complete CI / CD pipeline.
