Notes#

  • pilab is the clear workhorse — fastest CPU (A76 > A72), NVMe gives it a massive I/O edge over pico’s SD card
  • pico has identical RAM but slower CPU and SD storage — perfectly sized for its lightweight monitoring and control-node role
  • Oracle VPS is RAM-constrained (1 GB, no swap) — keep it stateless as ingress/proxy only
  • Router is purpose-built for networking — 17 MB free RAM is a hard ceiling for extra packages
  • stellarhost role should be re-evaluated; likely replaceable by Oracle VPS for any remaining needs
