As any other girl or boy, I have been facing the same issue. What and how to deploy as Kubernetes edge platform. Somehow, after many sleepless nights in deep dark woods, after times of excitement followed by depression and despair, I had seen weak flickering light far far away.

Requirements High availibility Easy to deploy/maintain Fast and archive storage Small footprint NIC teaming/bonding aka 2+ NICs Distributed storage = fast networking Cost-optimized solution (aka cheap) Operated by terraform Hypervisor or bare metal Kubernetes Difficult question to answer.
