Just a bit off-topic but what are you guys doing that you need to do CPU throttling? I just got a Pi4 and wondering if I'm missing out on some cool projects I can do with it :)


The Pi 4 is the first generation that's actually not horrible at running Kubernetes, so I'm mostly having fun with that (ongoing saga at www.pidramble.com).


We finally have enough performance that we can waste it with more layers. Hooray!


Is this just about how fast the CPU is, or is there some other reason the k8s experience is better now?


I'm sure 4GB memory helps a lot.


This. Even 2GB is a world of difference.

One of the major issues I had was the master (control) node would start getting a little weird sometimes, and it was always due to memory pressure (even if not scheduling pods on the master Pi).

Kubernetes docs _say_ 1 GB is the minimum memory requirement, but 2 or 4 GB is more realistic, because at 1 GB and no swap you have precious little overhead.


Are you planning on adding a fan to the cluster?


I’m using an open case and PoE HATs which have built in fans powered by the HAT itself.


Home media server. Encoding 1080p video brings the temp up.
