Low Power Cluster - Small, Efficient, BUT Powerful!

Video Description

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!
