I'm now thinking about the case where the device is restarted and the IP address changes due to a dhcp renewal. MicroShift will keep the host IP in the kubeconfigs and it'll crash.

Would that work with microshift.cluster.local using mDNS? @mangelajo

what about using a name in the kubeconfigs? That way if the DHCP address changes the name should get patched as well. I think it would net us more possibilities for customers in the event that the facility in which microshift was running has some sort of VPN back to a home base a users could then load the kubeconfig into Argo and app of apps if they wanted

yes, mDNS would handle this, via microshift.local or hostname.local etc .. :)
