    All well and good stuff there, but until Raspberry Pi's are available (and I'm not talking about just a tiny batch available on a single vendor and only for 3 min….) I can't see how this kickstarter is going to take off.

    I want. I want.

  3. @brentgreeff1115

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    I would get 4 of these if it came in a custom rack – or a rack was available. I dont want to DIY the hardware.

  4. @AndersonDotPro

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Why would I be interested in something that in your own words, "probably won't make it to production?" It sounds great, but I don't have time for things I will never be able to use.

    How much more efficient that RPi blade is, compare to traditional server blade ?

  6. @mrguiltyfool

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Hopefully it runs openNas

    Protip: if you want CM4s for your Uptime Labs Blades go back in time to the first day the project was announced, order 5 of them, and they will arrive last week 😈

  12. @monad_tcp

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    4:45 the irony of having virtualization and big metal and sharing resources, then having security problems and going back to "white boxes specific purposed computers".

  13. @monad_tcp

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    8:19 general purpose operating systems are a thing of the past, operating system is a part of the hardware

  14. @SnareGG

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    If these things are blades then the dell powerstation blade cases should be renamed to slabs

  15. @BasedF-15Pilot

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Useless when only the scalpers have these things.

  16. @shadow_rune6178

    4:22 Enterprise grade server vendors use bare metal virtual machines to solve this issue by using applications such as Citrix XenServer, or VMWare.

    It can be argued that physical separation is a bit more secure but in reality, virtual machine escape exploits are difficult to perform and often highly sophisticated.

    Since the virtual machine is bare metal it is also quite perfomant, since it runs directly off the hardware instead of a traditional, type 2 virtual machine such as VirtualBox or QEMU.

  17. @NGEvangeliman

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Whatvthe heck are you storing on a pi that needs to be so secure?

  18. @dafoex

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    I'm not sure if I like TPM still. You have to trust that the chip does what it says, stores your keys, doesn't introduce a backdoor, etc. I know that's a little tinfoil hat of me, but a lot of what I've seen about computer security boils down to "assume everything you talk to has been hacked by a big bad evil guy." Am I wrong in my understanding?

  19. @jmurtha80

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Jeff now that the Kickstarter is out, how do I think about purchasing for a home lab? I don't know if I need to shell out the $800 USD for the 4 kits with "rack/holder", but thinking I might want more than one, just trying to figure out where to store 2 blades…..

  20. @cnotation

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Notorious Pi horder here. I literally have over 1000 cm4 lite 8gb RAM :). I can fit 22 on 1U on a din rail mount. Adding $2,000 in cost per 1U of blades for essentially m.2 storage doesn't see worth it for me. I use network storage with Longhorn in Kubernetes just fine which is pretty secure too IMO.

  21. @altimmons

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    This is great – even more shortage

  22. @dez3940

    Data knife perhaps? ☄️

  23. @OLegndz

    None of this really made sense to me, sweet

  24. @RinksRides

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    1:48 Heatsinks are not machined, they are cast aluminum, maybe die-cast, nice though. Made cheap in China (bulk), or local casting place?

  26. @cgarzs

    Nope, don't want it if it has a TyrantPlatformModule.

  27. @Herlehy

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Just backed it on Kickstarter! Getting the dev blade 4 unit with some extras.

    What SSDs are you running the dev units? I’ll need to get all the components between now and when the project funds and ships.

    EDIT- Errr, watch the video again, Kioxia SSDs. PCIe 3 SSDs, so cheaper gen ones at least.

  28. @tuskiomisham

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    neat, but still no cm4s on the market

  29. @blablamannetje

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    What a great product, what a great video!

  30. @anon_y_mousse

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Okay, so everyone is running a Pi cluster, but how about an RP2040 cluster? We need to see one of those running some sort of DNA folding algorithm. It would be equivalent to 20 year old tech, but a pretty funny flex.

  31. @user-mt4zr5kp7h

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    But will it blend

  32. @HBon111

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    I am just dumbfounded at the very existence of all this stuff. You, and guys like you, are modern day wizards. I wish I had even an iota of what's going on here. :S
    sincerely, filthy casual.

  33. @post-leftluddite

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Can someone explain to me why these would be preferable to using a 128 core Arm processor or even an x86 processor, like an AMD 128 core Bergamo CPU?

  34. @Bogdan2663

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    You know what would be extremely cool and useful? A PiKVM in Blade form factor. 1U Rack to rule them all. #IvanKuleshov #MaximDevaev

  39. @KangSeungSig

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    When will it come out? I'm tuning in every week and waiting. Personally, I think it's the best solution.

  40. @drallersouldust3054

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    1:47 did you just purposely forget to remove the tape so you could have high temp? hahaha just kidding

  41. @marsrocket

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Here we are 8 months later and CM4 prices are still 2-3x list price.

  42. @radekradekxx2670

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    I can't buy it. Isn't that avaiable anymore?

  43. @bobapplemac

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    @JeffGeerling – Given your recent CM4 clone video, have you done any additional testing with clone compatibility with these blades?

  44. @samarthbelani

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    what is used for

  45. @abhinavsarkar2487

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    hi my friend Jeff Geerling,

    this arm pi Compute Blade, can i us for data analytics, analysis and data science workload???
    this is cluster now it can perform, for high computation …

  46. @nqaiser

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Definately a fascinating product, but I highly doubt if these could be a replacement for larger virtualized servers. Most testing/production applications require flexibility in sizing the compute resources, to make matters worse, most common applications can't really run in a distributed manner.

  47. @robertmoorej

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    Rpi can kiss my …….

    I have completely lost respect.

    They let the entire open source community build thier support for them for free and then Snatched availability to non commercial customers.

  48. @Antassium

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    This has been "available soon" for over a year 😂

  49. @mastermoarman

    October 1, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    This would be cool if there was a x86 compute module

Sacha and his cofounder already developed the first version of their product. They are now undertaking the Version 2 of their development and are considering moving to Amazon Web Services (AWS) as their cloud hosting solution.

Moving an application to the cloud is usually a very good option because you are not renting a server anymore but buying a delivered service instead.
