I built a production grade cluster for fun. It’s only three nodes… without anything installed on my 40 core cluster, except k8s and longhorn, it’s idling at 30% cpu usage. When I started up a managed cluster on Azure, I was throwing hundreds of euros at their logging storage just idling, so I noped to bare metal.
- KronisLV 5y agoThis mirrors my experience with K8s, though one can suggest that the software running on the cluster also played a part in it. Have you looked into K3s or other lightweight distros of Kubernetes, though? https://k3s.io/ https://k3s.io/ That's what i turned to when i needed to learn the Kubernetes API and explore running clusters, but didn't like my small VPSes (~4 GB of RAM) failing to launch anything because of the frankly insane resource usage of full K8s clusters.
