It's still a bad idea. First of all, do you know what k8s is for? Bin packing. Does your small business have a bin packing problem? (And I don't mean crates) Does your small business even need containers at all? Second, 3 nodes is more than you need. You only need 2 nodes for HA. There is no universe in which two nodes in the closet of a coffee shop would go down, but three would not. Third, it's too complicated. It takes teams of people loads of time and money to get it working properly, and then they have to keep supporting it, because release cycles and changing standards, etc. Distributed systems are the most complex and the most costly, unless you're at a huge scale, and then it can be cheaper. Four, it's unnecessarily expensive, because again, you don't need 3, and it's too complicated. Five, you don't need 3 nodes to have redundant network paths. A DSL line and a cell modem are pretty easy to plug into one machine. But six, the real reason this wouldn't work: small businesses do not buy HA. > Question is can the right combination of hardware standardization, software standardization, support, and application store get together to enable chick-fil-a like functionality at a price point acceptable to small businesses? Yes, it's called Windows on a Dell.
