I like how you've integrated everything with a built-in status display.Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to do a proper blog post about the design in the next few days so I'll drop a link to this once it's ready.
As I found out when making my 2U Pi cluster
viewtopic.php?p=1690607#p1690607
the management software can be surprisingly difficult. In my design the Pi computers don't have individual SSDs but mount root from an iSCSI network block device.
This makes reimagining easy since all that's required is copying a file on the server. On the other hand, the image itself requires a bit of customisation to set up.
How does the management interface work in your setup? Do you use some sort of network boot arrangement to provision the blades?
