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.
