Turing Pi V1 is a 7 nodes cluster on a mini ITX board. It’s a scale model of bare metal clusters like you see in data centers. The Turing Pi board can be used as a local mini server to host apps, containers, Kubernetes. The Turing Pi also is a great tool for learning cloud-native technologies, Serverless, Microservices on a bare-metal cluster. The Turing Pi top/main node can act as a NAT/Router for the rest of the nodes. If you move the cluster from one location to another, all the node's IPs stay the same.

• Flash mode - flash RPi compute modules using the Turing Pi board
• Boot mode - boot OS through eMMC or SD card or netboot

{% hint style="info" %} Please note, you can use either eMMC or SD card storage. You can't use both options. {% endhint %}

• Power management for each node (on/off/reboot)
• Real-time clock (RTC)
• I2C cluster management bus
• Compute modules hot-swap
