Hi,
I'm currently using a Raspberry Pi 3 for hosting some simple web services at home. Now I'm looking at scaling this single server up to a small cluster running kubernetes and would love some advice on what devices to use.
The boards I have been looking at are as follows.
- More of the same Raspberry Pi 3, already proven to work but lower spec than the alternatives.
- NanoPi M1 Plus or NanoPi A64, nice small form factor.
- BananaPi M2U or BananaPi M64, plenty of RAM but cannot be powered over micro USB.
What kind of support from upstream/Fedora can I expect for these boards? Are there other boards I should consider? Any experiences from running Fedora on these (or other) ARM boards?
Kind regards,
Lennart Jern

Hey,

I am buildings these days ( few hours a week after work :) ) a Raspberry
PI3B+ ( and + is very important),

I have 4 of them, each having an external SSD connected with USB
(Samsung 256GB: 64 for OS / 284GB for cluster).

I want to use clusterlabs to build services with High Availability.

I planned to used DRBD as a distributed storage on all SSD. Current
release 8.9 is not able to managed data distribution on more than 2
disks. I will dig for 9.0 that is able to do so...

Regarding Kubernetes, how will you manage storage, persistent and not
persistent ?

It is another option - I can use it to replace clusterlabs - especially
regarding storage management :)
