It remember building a 4 node Beowulf cluster out of discarded compaq desktops and then having no idea what to do with it.

- mkj 4y ago75mhz, yeah! Stacked on top of each other! With 10mbit ethernet! I think we got OpenMosix going even. But then 5 years later I was working on them for a living in HPC, but they were no longer called Beowulf Clusters then.
- red-iron-pine 4y agoDid kinda the same thing but with Raspberry Pis. Neat, a cluster of r-pi's... now what?
- ipsin 4y agoIf you want to continue the chain of specific goals in service of no specific purpose: run Kubernetes on it.
- Sebb767 4y agoThen add ArgoCD for deployment and istio for a service mesh! While you are at it, also setup Longhorn for storage. With that solved, you might as well start hosting Gitea and DroneCI on the cluster, plus an extra helm- and docker repo for good measure. And in no time you will have a full modern CI/CD setup to do nothing but updates on! :-) Seriously, though, you will learn a lot of things in the process and get a bottom up view of current stacks, which is definitely helpful.
- wrldos 4y agoI did this. I am still dead inside. Thank goodness all my production shit has a managed control plane and network.
