Having an SNO for every student in class instead of a full 5 nodes cluster (or even 3) is much more feasible. And in general, I would think there are clients out there who don't have enough memory and IFLs at the moment on their mainframes to spin up an OCP cluster with 5 nodes so giving them SNO would give them at least a chance to try it out. 8vCPUs/32G/120G is much more appealing for a small POC :) Besides that, installing SNO, probably would be much easier and faster than installing a full cluster so less terrifying for new users who just want to see if it works with their apps. x86-ers have SNO. It would be nice to have it too :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
