On: DIY Kubernetes cluster with x86 stick-pcs

[moondev]

Author here. The plan is to get spinnaker setup on the cluster. It's a collection of around 8 microservices. Kubernetes should handle HA just fine. 20 cores and 10GB of memory for the cluster. I can build another one of these and put it in a separate room for multi-region ;)

Where's error correction? Good luck trusting whatever binary and artifacts you build.

You plugged all 5 stick pcs into a single usb hub and ethernet switch. Your definition of HA must be very different from mine.

You're right. I should go get redundant power supplies and a full rack for my little hobby cluster.

Don't think that is enough, check if your next door neighbor is willing to plug one of these in their coat closet - that gives you multi zone. Then ship one to me (or I can build one myself) and host it in San Francisco, that gives us multi region. Are you game?

Sure! Lets put one on a balloon with a battery pack and hotspot too. That is true cloud computing right there

Sorry, It looks like I took you too literally when you said

I interpreted this enthusiasm as meaning it was the sort of setup you would recommend to your clients. Now it sounds more like you meant it as a joke.
