I was too busy teaching racecar things this weekend to do anything with my new Zima Blade cluster other than just installing the memory, but look how cute this stack of single-board x86 computers is!
Hopefully I'll find time this week to actually set it up. I'm thinking I'll eventually turn this into a light Nomad cluster for doing container things.
I strapped a 1TB SSD to each Blade, and did a Very Professional Job of mounting them in the wall.
I've fleshed out my Salt high state for these to address the prereqs I could think of, so I think I'm about ready to start putting these to work soon.
@MgBarbatos thanks!
I've been using that switch for ~3ish years now without any issues. It's not anything fancy but it gets the job done.
@john_b thats all I can ask for. ty 🙂
@john_b cable management is looking clean and the matching zip ties is a nice touch. 👍.
ooooo, I've been thinking about upgrading our network and I gotta ask, what's your opinion on that Tplink? Do it's speed and longevity hold up?
