> It would be great if I could host this and many other applications locally on a K8s cluster instead of stringing together a bunch of raspberry pis with a network switch, or hosting it on a cloud service.

Pardon my ignorance, but why couldn't you run this on a NUC or a NAS? Do you need HA for testing random apps? Or is it just that this is more fun and a learning experience?

My interest in this space is in the opportunity to test assumptions when scaling wide. Those of us without University compute access or Cloud budgets ( like neighborhood STEM classes ) can plunk down for a desktop learning environment that can run k8s or slurm and you can learn / teach MPI programming patterns with hands-on, and minimal risk.

Yes a NUC or NAS could do the job as well, so my interest is more of a fun learning experience.
