BladeRunner Framework Laptop Cluster Update
Following PlexiCluster • PlexiCluster Framework Laptop Board... , I have built a bigger version. Thanks to @FrameworkComputer for the support. It is called BladeRunner. It is a six (6) laptop board cluster running the latest Kubernetes (k8s) from Rancher/Suse. Yes that is my day job. I have been using these flyaway kits to highlight the portability and flexibility of the software stack.
hardware:
6 @FrameworkComputer 11th gen laptop boards and Ethernet adapters
1 2.5GB switch random amazon vendor
2 @satechi USBC PD power supplies
1 @GLTechnologies WiFi Router w/ @Tailscale
software:
Rocky 9.1
@Rancher /@SUSE /@RancherGovernmentSolutions Kubernetes, Storage
@TraefikLabs for ingress
Gitea for local git
Harbor for a registry.
I am going to rebuild the case with smaller Ethernet cables. Look for that video soon. I wish I could switch this all over to the new AMD boards. But I don't have the budget for it right now. And you can see that I have a total of 3 portable clusters.
Please feel free to comment if you have any suggestions on what to show?
Thanks for watching.
