https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/450b4147-0941-44db-b991-6d13be3868af I built a lower power, efficient, and near silent server cluster! Although this cluster is small and efficient, it's still powerful enough to run a high availability Kubernetes cluster with many services running in High Availability mode! There are so many options with running a small cluster like this, the possibilities are endless!
