Customer Explanation:

We have a AAP cluster located in traditional IT environment , and we will add some execution nodes in our private cloud environment , the problem is that the VMs in private cloud will be rebuilt every two weeks  that means we need to add these execution nodes frequently .

My concerns are :

1. Every time we extend the execution nodes , we have to add these nodes to inventory file and run the setup script again which will take a long time , if the setup script run failed , will it affect existing AAP cluster which is in productive ?

2.  Since the VMs in the private cloud environment have to be rebuilt every two weeks , is there any folders/files can be excluded from the rebuilding so that we don't need to rerun the setup script to add this execution node ?

3. is there any easy way to extend or reduce a execution node ? like a hot plug-in ? so that we don't need to run the setup script every time which will have a chance to affect existing AAP cluster .
