This sounds like Chick-fil-A's use case where they decided to put a k8s cluster in each restaurant. https://medium.com/@cfatechblog/edge-computing-at-chick-fil-... https://medium.com/@cfatechblog/bare-metal-k8s-clustering-at...

If you have a single node not a cluster in each location then k8s buys you a lot less. Some people still advocate single-node k8s "clusters" for benefits like rolling deployment.

I’m still stuck on the Chick-fil-A part. Haha.

It's handy to have all those k8s instances scale to zero on Sundays.

I am fairly certain the second the old dude dies they are going to be like "Motion to open on Sundays..." in the board room.

S. Truett Cathy (who I assume is the old dude you mentioned) passed away in September of 2014.

Ah I did not know that. I figured he was still hanging out and getting a kick out of refusing to open on Sundays, given how much of meme it has become.

I've seen rolling deployment using plain distribution upgrade happily working on larger fleets than that, but that's borderline uncivilized.

actually rolling deployments are painful. it's like THE feature of k8s. and since k3s is so simple, it's alo not to painful to run it.
