Hardware

The router

The router is pretty simple it is a linux iptables firewall managed by fwbuilder

Switch

HP-poe switch

Beebox

The beeboxes are setup as hyperconverged hardware. They run both kubernetes master nodes and ceph osd, mds, and rgw

Nuc’s

They are workers for kubernetes

Pi’s

They are also workers for kubernetes running stuff like a print-server, pi-hole, etc.
