Hi all
I want to setup a swarm cluster with the following computers:
Three RasPi 4b - each 8gb ram, 64bit 4 core arm cpu
Five Odroid xu4 - each 2gb ram, 32bit 8 core arm cpu
Is it better to make the three raspberry pi’s managers or the five odroid xu4’s? And why?
Thank you
For such a small cluster using 5 managers seems like a lot, but it all depends on what you want. With 3 managers, you can lose only one without losing all managers. With five managers, you could lose 2. What about using 3 odroid since you would probably need more resources for your applications than for the managers (although a swarm user can correct me about system requirements) . Then you can have 5 worker nodes 3 RasPIs and 2 odroids.
