On the page you mention CI/CD applications and we are considering using Raspberry Pi for our CI infra (for the lack of a more powerful option). While there are various possible setups, one fairly common arrangement (especially in a more public-facing services) is to start a throw-away VM for each CI request. This is how our CI service works and you can see it here[1] in action.
And while it would have been nice to use Turing Pi, it does not appear to fit our requirements very well because we need to have high-performance storage attached to each node (where we store/run the VMs). An ideal board for us would be a network switch plus for each module a PCIe (or better yet, NVMe) slot and USB 2.0 ports (at least 2x).
