## AI overview

The article describes building a small, low-power Kubernetes cluster from three Intel NUCs instead of running the cluster as virtualized workloads in Proxmox. It covers the hardware configuration, storage arrangement, and rack-mount installation, with high availability as a stated goal.

## Source excerpt

I've been running a few clusters in my HomeLab over the past few years but they have always been virtualized inside of Proxmox.That all changed today when I decided to run my Kubernetes cluster on these 3 low power, small, and efficient, Intel NUCs. 📺 Watch Video I built a lower power, efficient, and near silent server cluster! Although this cluster is small and efficient, it's still power...
