I don't know as much about Turing Pi, which is referenced in the article, but I do know about running Raspberry Pi devices as IoT/edge devices using Amazon Greengrass and a problem we're running into more and more is microSD cards becoming corrupt. The answer for now is to spring for "premium" microSD cards but it would be nice if there was a version of the Pi with SSD on the board. We don't need a ton of storage on our edge Pi devices, we just need them to not fail because of a corrupt microSD card.
