Given what the article says about k8s not working so well in the RPi's 1GB of RAM, is there another cheap ARM SOC that has more RAM available that could work similarly?
RK3328: Pine64's ROCK64 comes in 2GB and 4GB of RAM
(also the RK3399 based ROCKPro64 is even more awesome, bigger form factor, but two A72 cores for actually good performance! Oh and some other manufacturers even made RK3399 based RPi-sized boards!)
