Longhorn is Linux only and used for the SQL and Solr volumes.
Longhorn requires at least 3 nodes to be able to replicate data and become healthy.
CM and ID logs are only persisted in emptyDir
Launching many servers / agents at the same time may result in various rke2 startup issues due to Docker Hub throttling.
