    I have 4 DL360s with 96GB RAM each to run a K8s cluster with a handful of containers

    If someone is paying you to host those and covering your costs, go wild! However, as a hobby you may be spending $925/year or more for electricity to run those in the Midwest. $1,387 if you’re living in Boston, $1,850 if you’re living in California.

    In one year you may have been able to buy more new power efficient hardware from just what you’re spending on juice.
