## What it is
A deprecated collection of Ansible playbooks and Kubernetes configuration for building a high-availability Drupal hosting cluster out of Raspberry Pi single-board computers. It served as an instructional tool for multi-server orchestration, load balancing, and container orchestration on bare-metal ARM hardware.

## Use cases
- set up a kubernetes cluster on raspberry pis with ansible
- host a highly available drupal site on bare metal arm hardware
- learn multi-server orchestration and load balancing with nginx
- provision a portable cluster of pis for demos and presentations
- run a self-hosted cms on modest hardware with kubernetes

## When to choose
- you want a proven reference for Ansible-driven Raspberry Pi cluster provisioning
- you need to learn Kubernetes and Ansible on bare-metal ARM hardware
- you want to replicate a small HA Drupal hosting stack on Pis

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained project - it is deprecated in favor of geerlingguy/pi-cluster
- you want to run modern Drupal or current Kubernetes versions on Pis
- you need production-grade cloud infrastructure rather than an educational cluster
