 You can optionally customize node roles in the Embedded Cluster Config using the `roles` key.
 
 A common use case for customizing node roles is to assign workloads to specific nodes. For example, if your application has graphics processing unit (GPU) workloads, you could create a `custom` role that will add a `gpu=true` label to any node that is assigned the role. This allows you to then schedule GPU workloads on nodes labled `gpu=true`.
