I am just wondering if someone is running node-red and other services in a kubernetes cluster on the edge (= running on the devices at your home/business). I am equally interested in any kubernetes alternatives running on the edge.
I am using docker (at the edge) for quite some time and that is working great and I am thinking if jumping to kubernetes might be a good next step.
The edge devices in my cases are an intel NUC and a bunch of raspberry pi's.
So for me the set of requirements are:
- different architectures (intel / arm)
- limited memory (raspberry pi has only 1 GB of RAM).
- container services should be bound to specific devices and should be able to access/use hardware connected to those devices. (in particular hdmi output / microphone input).
