I started building a new cluster lab and went in for the ARM bigLITTLE CPU based on the Odroid-XU4Q from odroidinc and hardkernel.com. It is much cheaper to run all the time and allows me to test new things. It is currently configured with…
- Docker Swarm
- Virtualizer
- 3 x busybox based web server.
- GlusterFS
- Ansible testing ground.
TODO:
- mariadb/mysql on Cluster with share file system.
- Custom write my own Docks and/or containers.
- Nginx Web server
- App server or node.js server
- containerize DB from above
- Maybe switch to OpenStack
- Ansible tower testing ground.
It is currently one Cloudshell2 with 4T of spinning media in a RAID 1, and 4 Odroid-XU4Q in a custom enclosure with eMMC boot devices for each node and each node also has a SD drive in a 2×2 glusterFS mirrored stripe across all 4. All connected via Gigabit Ethernet on a Cisco 3650. I have one Raspberry Pi 3 node for an odd man out to test ansible playbooks.
