Raspberry Pi I'm surprised no one has mentioned Raspberry Pi. You get a decently powerful compute node, no noise, tiny footprint, for ~$100. https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/

Cloudflare wants to be the defacto "Cloud 2.0" company (where AWS is "Cloud 1.0"). Where Cloud 1.0 is laregly just a "lift/shift" of OnPrem to Cloud. Cloud 2.0 is hosting on the Edge and infrastructure bui
