We're providing a "smart kitchen" solution in restaurants.
Each restaurant has three Intel NUCs, so a little over 6K-7K devices. We're using k3s partly for the hardware redundancy, and partly for the ease of managing the services running at the edge - there's a local OAuth provider, MQTT server, along with some other applications that need to be up a majority of the time.
There's a cloud component to all of the software running at the edge as well, and since that's run on k8s, we wanted something similar but more lightweight at the edge.
- e12e 6y agoInteresting. Do you happen to have a blog post or something discussing how you arrived at that architecture? Do you frequently see a nuc dying, but the cluster staying up?
- dhagz 6y agoYeah, there are some posts out there. I'll have to find them and edit them in. Yes, in fact - we've seen clusters still running when two of the NUCs have disappeared from the cluster.
