Comment on New to Kubernetes and Pi clusters

Depending on what you’re going to do with the cluster, 4gb of RAM per node feels rather limiting.
Anyways, as far as storage goes I’m using 4 compute blades loaded with 4 8gb RAM versions of the CM4, each with a 500gb Samsung PM9A1 running Talos to save a bit on that precious RAM.
Got Talos up and running with some help from Onedr0p’s cluster template which saved me a lot of time on the learning curve.

Ooh, Onedr0p’s cluster template looks great so tried it but getting stuck on RPI_EFI.fd
The notes say: create RPI_EFI.fd like here www.sidero.dev/v0.6/guides/rpi4-as-servers/#persi…
But that requires setting up sidero which is discontinued and looks like it needs a working talos cluster to get it working anyway, so is there an easier way to generate RPI_EFI.fd ?
I’m also hitting other issues so going to have to wipe the pi I have for PXE anyway so maybe it’ll play nice after a reset. 🤔

I initially generated the talos config with the template script, but using talhelper directly offers a bit more flexibility. The first four nodes in this list are the cm4’s

I also wrote down my setup steps, check here:
