Title: So lately I&#x27;ve been dabbling in a lot of stuff that requires a lot of CPU compute, 0 GPU and can be basically linearly scaled across threads and nodes in a cluster.<p>Now using only my own box is proving to be a bottleneck so I&#x27;ve been thinking of either using AWS spot instances or building my own mini-cluster (2-3 machines + switch) at home. Does it make sense to go cloud (even spot) when I would aim at high utilization?<p>As for the potential node spec:<p>- Ryzen 4500&#x2F;5500 (seems best perf&#x2F;$)<p>- Some mATX AM4 mobo with integrated GPU<p>- 2x8GB RAM<p>- mATX case, the smaller the better. ITX seems pricier.<p>All the box does is basically run the k8s pod(s).<p>WDYT?
