[Bear Giles]

TL;DR: no

He's had better luck running a K8 cluster on an RPi (compute node) cluster.

After a WTF moment I found myself wondering just how well a RPi compute
node stacks up to an EC2 instance. It's probably not too bad as long as you
don't need disk I/O. An EC2 instance is far more scalable, of course, but
if you know you'll have a certain base load and can compile it for the ARM
processor that RPi cluster might be a better choice.
