I guess that is some of their focus around why they got their image down to 200MB.

Even better if you had boxes with 10 gigE and the smaller image. Would take your times down from like 6-10 hours to 1.5 hours.

Also, I doubt a full 25k restart all at once you probably had underlying applications that expected rolling, blue/green or even % or nodes that can go offline at once.

Full boot was around 160MB and that included AMD drivers, which were about 60MB.

I did not have a choice over the hardware design.

Each worker was individual. Underlying application didn’t care.

We had a couple full power outages. They were set to boot automatically. So yea… full restarts.
