That's a pretty cool setup, but $6310 is about as much as I make in 3 months (Latvia), so it's definitely out of my price point. That said, it's pretty great that you can run containers and orchestrators (at least in some configuration) even on Raspberry Pi's or other SoC boards.
Right now I just have two local servers that have x86 200 GE's (35W TDP), some value RAM and a bunch of Seagate HDDs because that kind of storage is way cheaper than cloud offerings, and a few VPSes in the cloud, alongside WireGuard.
Though personally I'd most likely go for something boring like Ubuntu LTS, K3s and Portainer/Rancher for management. Actually Docker Swarm also works decently.
As long as you're settled on the OCI standard, it's a pretty great landscape out there!

My goal wasn’t to build a cheap cluster—see my privous post for a 4 node cluster under $100.
