This blog has been created for a single purpose, as a platform for my Binsfeldius Cluster Project: A low-power performance virtualization cluster build.
I’m writing this as I progress through the build of this three node cluster from design, hardware assembly, configuration and operation of the cluster. So, the latest entry in the navigation is exactly where I am at.
The index below will allow you to travel the path as I experienced it, with lots’o’pictures and screenshots starting at #4.
