It turns out that complete N100-based mini-computers aren&#39;t much more expensive than Raspberry Pi 5s, and they don&#39;t require assembly. Furthermore, I like that they are AMD64 and not ARM-based, which increases compatibility with some applications (e.g., I might want to virtualize Windows (via bhyve) on one of those, though that&#39;s out of scope for this blog series).</span><br />

Its compatibility with both Linux and FreeBSD makes it versatile for other use cases, whether as part of your cluster or as a standalone system. If you’re looking for hardware that punches above its weight for Kubernetes, this little device deserves a spot on your shortlist.</span><br />

<span>I&#39;ve been considering whether to use Raspberry Pis or look for alternatives. It turns out that complete N100-based mini-computers aren&#39;t much more expensive than Raspberry Pi 5s, and they don&#39;t require assembly. Furthermore, I like that they are AMD64 and not ARM-based, which increases compatibility with some applications (e.g., I might want to virtualize Windows (via bhyve) on one of those, though that&#39;s out of scope for this blog series).</span><br />
