The installer supports pre-rendering of the PerformanceProfile related manifests. However the MCO render is executed after the PerfProfile render and so the master and worker MachineConfigPools are created too late.

This causes the installation process to fail with:

Always

1. Add an SNO PerformanceProfile to extra manifest in the installer. Node selector should be: "node-role.kubernetes.io/master="
2.
3.

no MCP found that matches performance profile node selector "node-role.kubernetes.io/master="
