9 I'm trying to understand the form factor of what you are mentioning above.
10 Presumably the chunkservers aren't sitting on a lab bench with USB
11 drives hanging off of them. Can you point me toward and example of
12 what you are using?
13
14 I've been considering some of these new mini-computers that have
15 a couple of 2.5Gb/S Ethernet ports and 3 USB 3 ports but haven't
16 moved forward because I want it packaged in a single case.

18 Where does the master reside? In a container on your desktop
19 machine or is that another element on your network?

26 Why Kubernetes? Is the Plex server safer when not being used? How
27 long does it take to spin up an instance and do the TV apps understand
28 this operation? Or would it be up and running all the time?
