Why...

  Exactly, I just feel that Oracle just needed to do a huge flex to the world to show that they are relevant. Weird flex but okay, I'll just carry on with my ARM64 Cavium kubernetes cluster that blows this toy out of the ocean.

    But they probably built it as test cluster to do initial work on before going for a big shot on a big boy cluster.

  I’ve seen a few of these RPi clusters (obviously none this big), I think the main reason people make them is to demo distributed systems or build a homelab cluster(sometimes they will argue its cause of the power efficiency). Also they are usually a nerd magnet so it makes for a great conversation piece as this probably was for their convention.
