 ## Design Ideas
 This tool uses the cloud provider's SDK to create and manage hosts, and then uses SSH to install the K3s cluster to the remote host.
-You can also use it to join hosts as masters/agents to the K3s cluster. It will automatically merge and store the `kubeconfig` in `/var/lib/rancher/autok3s/.kube/config` which necessary for user to access the cluster.

 Then user can use `autok3s kubectl` command quickly access the cluster.
 
-Use [viper](https://github.com/spf13/viper) to bind flags and configuration file. `autok3s` will generate a configuration file to store cloud-providers' access information at the specified location(`/var/lib/rancher/autok3s/config.yaml`) to reduce the number of flags to be passed for multiple runs.
