Super cool! I created a single video from text using python ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CIakJ8PMZs // https://github.com/sidpalas/devops-directive-hello-world ), but this is next level!

The setup survived 2x HN front page surges recently so I was curious what the limits of such a small VM would be!

Hi -- Author here. Thanks for the word of warning. I'll take a look at removing the battery to avoid any issues.

Author here -- Something like this? https://www.imore.com/mac-mini-mame-arcade-cabinet-project (Looks cool! Some time down the line I'll have to try it out) The first thing I did with the setup was to learn about the d

I don't think the CPU will support virtualization to use this approach. You might be able to install Linux directly and then using something like https://microk8s.io/ instead...

Interesting, and I agree that this is not a suitable location for running anything important! I mostly use it for random experimentation/learning and like not having to think about starting up/shutting down Minikube on my main lap

Interesting, maybe I'll give that a try! (would be nice since I have 16GB of RAM on the Mini vs 4GB on the MBA and it is better suited to leaving on all the time) When I tried with minikube, the VirtualBox VM would boot successfully, b

Initially, I tried doing this with a 2010 Mac Mini (which claims to support VMX), but couldn't get Minikube running on it... For the past two weeks though, I haven't had any issues with this setup on the Macbook Air!

Do you use something like kops for setting up and maintaining your cluster? Most of my direct experience with Kubernetes has been on GKE, but I have been meaning to work through https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubern

Yeah -- Adding in GPUs and doing a deeper dive on how using some of the low-cost VM types (w/ small but burstable CPU, etc...) impact both cost & performance are things I hope to take a look at in the future!

Author here -- I can add DO to the comparison today, I'll ping here once I have done so! --- EDIT: Done! I have updated the notebook with the digital Ocean offering using their General Purpose (dedicated CPU) droplets. The major takeaw

This article clearly describes the challenges we are trying to solve at https://picnichealth.com/ (YC S14). Our goal is to take the burden of compiling and maintaining a complete medical history off of the patient while at
