Building Edge AI Infrastructure with KVM, openSUSE, and Ollama

Edge AI infrastructure is transforming how we deploy machine learning workloads, bringing computation closer to data sources while maintaining privacy and reducing latency. This comprehensive guide demonstrates building an edge analytics platform using KVM virtualization, openSUSE Leap (15.6), K3s, and Ollama for local AI inference.

Our architecture leverages a KVM homelab infrastructure originally set-up by my Google Summer of Code Mentor. This set-up was built to create specialized AI nodes in a distributed cluster, with Longhorn providing shared storage for models and application data. Each component is chosen for reliability, scalability, and edge-specific requirements.

Prerequisites and Architecture Overview

This setup requires:

  • KVM hypervisor with existing infrastructure
  • Minimum 8GB RAM per VM (16GB recommended for larger models)
  • Network storage for distributed file system
  • Basic Kubernetes and networking knowledge

The final architecture includes multiple specialized nodes, distributed storage, monitoring, and load balancing for high-availability AI inference.

VM Foundation Setup

Creating the Edge AI Node

Start with a clean VM deployment using established automation tools:

cd ~geeko/bin/v-i
sudo ./viDeploy -c ./VM-K3s.cfg -n edge-ai-01

System Configuration

Complete the openSUSE installation with consistent settings across all nodes:

Installation Settings:

  • Keyboard: US
  • Timezone: UTC
  • Root password: gsoc (consistent across cluster)

Network Configuration:

# Configure static networking
cd /etc/sysconfig/network
cp ifcfg-eth1 ifcfg-eth0
vi ifcfg-eth0

Edit network configuration:

STARTMODE=auto
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=172.xx.xxx.xx/24

Set hostname and disable firewall for edge deployment:

hostnamectl set-hostname edge-ai-01
echo "172.xx.xxx.xx edge-ai-01.local edge-ai-01" >> /etc/hosts
systemctl disable --now firewalld
systemctl restart network

Essential Package Installation

Install required components for Kubernetes and distributed storage:

zypper refresh
zypper install -y open-iscsi kernel-default e2fsprogs xfsprogs apparmor-parser
systemctl enable --now iscsid

Storage Configuration for Longhorn

Prepare dedicated storage for distributed AI workloads:

lsblk
fdisk /dev/vdb
# Create new GPT partition table and primary partition
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb1
mkdir -p /var/lib/longhorn
echo "/dev/vdb1 /var/lib/longhorn ext4 defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
mount -a
systemctl reboot

Kubernetes Cluster Integration

Joining the Edge AI Cluster

Access your Rancher management interface to create a dedicated AI cluster:

  1. Navigate to Rancher WebUI: http://172.16.200.15
  2. Create → Custom cluster
  3. Name: edge-ai-cluster
  4. Select K3s version
  5. Copy and execute registration command:
curl -fsSL https://get.k3s.io | K3S_URL=https://172.xx.xxx.xx:6443 K3S_TOKEN=your-token sh -

Verify cluster connectivity:

kubectl get nodes
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

Ollama Installation and Configuration

Installing Ollama

Deploy Ollama for local LLM inference:

curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
systemctl enable --now ollama

Cluster Access Configuration

Configure Ollama for distributed access:

mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d
vi /etc/systemd/system/ollama.service.d/override.conf

Add cluster binding:

[Service]
Environment="OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434"

Apply configuration:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart ollama

Model Deployment Strategy

Deploy models based on hardware capabilities:

# For 8GB RAM nodes - quantized models
ollama pull phi3

# For 16GB+ RAM nodes - higher precision
ollama pull phi3

# Verify installation
ollama list

Quantized models (q4_K_M) reduce memory usage by ~75% while maintaining performance for edge analytics.

Edge Analytics Platform Deployment

Repository Setup

Clone the Edge Analytics ecosystem:

git clone https://github.com/rudrakshkarpe/Edge-analytics-ecosystem-workloads-openSUSE.git
cd Edge-analytics-ecosystem-workloads-openSUSE

Configuration for Cluster Deployment

Update Kubernetes manifests for distributed deployment:

vi k8s-deployment/streamlit-app-deployment.yaml

Modify Ollama endpoint:

- name: OLLAMA_BASE_URL
  value: "http://172.xx.xxx.xx:11434"

Application Deployment

Deploy in correct order for dependency resolution:

kubectl apply -f k8s-deployment/namespace.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s-deployment/storage.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s-deployment/streamlit-app-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s-deployment/ingress.yaml

Verify deployment status:

kubectl get pods -n edge-analytics
kubectl logs -f deployment/edge-analytics-app -n edge-analytics

Distributed Storage with Longhorn

Longhorn Deployment

Deploy distributed storage system:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/longhorn/longhorn/master/deploy/longhorn.yaml

Wait for all pods to be running:

kubectl get pods -n longhorn-system -w

Configure Default Storage Class

Set Longhorn as default for persistent volumes:

kubectl patch storageclass longhorn -p '{"metadata": {"annotations":{"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class":"true"}}}'

Multi-Node Scaling and Specialization

Additional Node Deployment

Scale the cluster with specialized nodes:

Node IP Assignment:

  • edge-ai-02: 172.16.220.11
  • edge-ai-03: 172.16.220.12

Node Labeling for Workload Distribution

Label nodes based on capabilities:

# GPU-enabled nodes
kubectl label node edge-ai-02 node-type=gpu-inference

# CPU-optimized nodes
kubectl label node edge-ai-03 node-type=cpu-inference

Specialized Model Deployment

Deploy appropriate models per node type:

# GPU nodes - larger models
ssh root@172.16.220.11
ollama pull phi3

# CPU nodes - optimized quantized models
ssh root@172.16.220.12
ollama pull phi3

Production Monitoring and Operations

Monitoring Stack Deployment

Deploy comprehensive observability:

kubectl apply -f k8s-deployment/monitoring.yaml

Service Access

For development and testing access:

Request Workflow Redesign: RPM Lint Results Filtering

In the effort to bring the full release of this feature sooner, we continued our work on request workflow redesign with a small batch of changes and improvements. You can try these enhancements right now and bring us much needed feedback, as we inch closer to replacing the workflow with the new design. In this roundup, we bring one more feature to the RPM Lint page introduced earlier this month. We started the redesign of...

Quick Install: Kubernets Cluster (RKE2) with Warewulf

In a previous blog post we've learned how we can leverage Warewulf - a node deployment tool used in High Performance Computing (HPC) - to deploy a K8s cluster using RKE2. The deployment was described step-by step explaining the rationale behind each step.
This post supplements the previous post by providing a quick install guide taking advantage of pre-build containers. With the help of these we are able to perform the deployment of an RKE2 cluster with a few simple commands.
Warewulf uses PXE boot to bring up the machines, so your cluster nodes need to be configured for this and the network needs to be configure so that the nodes will PXE-boot from the Warewulf deployment server. How to do this and how to make node known to Warewulf is covered in a post about the basic Warewulf setup.

Prerequisite: Prepare Configuration Overlay Template for RKE2

K8s agents and servers use a shared secret for authentication - the connection token. Moreover, agents need to know the host name of the server to contact.
This information is provided in a config file: /etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml We let Warewulf provide this config file as a configuration overlay. A suitable overlay template can be installed from the package warewulf4-overlay-rk2:

 zypper -n install -y warewulf4-overlay-rke2

Set Up the Environment

First we set a few environment variables which we will use later.

cat > /tmp/rke2_environment.sh <<"EOF"
server=<add the server node here>
agents="<list of agents>"
container_url=docker://registry.opensuse.org/network/cluster/containers/containers-15.6
server_container=$container_url/warewulf-rke2-server:v1.32.7_rke2r1
agent_container=$container_url/warewulf-rke2-agent:v1.32.7_rke2r1
token="$(for n in {1..41}; do printf %2.2x $(($RANDOM & 0xff));done)"
EOF

Here we assume we have one server node and multiple agent nodes whose host names will have to replace in the above script. Lists of nodes can be specified as a comma-seperated list, but also as a range of nodes using square brackets (for example k8s-agent[00-15] would refer to k8s-agent00 to k8s-agent15) or lists and ranges combined.

Also, the script generates a connection token for the entire cluster. This token is used to allow agents (and secondary servers) to connect to the primary server1. If we set up the server persistently outside of Warewulf we either need to add this token to the config file /etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml on the server before we start the rke2-server service for the first time or grab it from the server once it has booted.
In this example, we are using a 'short token' which does not contain the fingerprint of the root CA of the cluster. For production environments you are encouraged to create certificates for your K8s cluster beforehand and calculate the fingerprint from the root CA for use in the agent token. Refer to the appendix below how to do so.
In case your server is already running you will have to grab the token from it instead and set the variable token in the script above accordingly. It can be found in the file /var/lib/rancher/rke2/server/node-token.

Finally, we set the environment:

source /tmp/rke2_environment.sh

Obtain the Node Images

The openSUSE registry has pre-built image for K8s agents. Taking advantage of these removes the tedious task of preparing the base images. We pull these and build the container:

wwctl container import ${agent_container} leap15.6-RKE2-agent
wwctl container build leap15.6-RKE2-agent

In the previous blog we've talked about the implications deploying K8s servers using Warewulf. If we plan to deploy the server using Warewulf as well, we pull the server container from the registry also and build it:

wwctl container import ${server_container} leap15.6-RKE2-server
wwctl container build leap15.6-RKE2-server

Set up Profiles

We utilize Warewulf profiles to configure different aspects of the setup and assign these profiles to the different types of nodes as needed.

Set up rootfs

The settings in this profile will ensure that a rootfs type is set so that a call to pivot_root() performed by the container runtime will succeed.

wwctl profile add container-host
wwctl profile set --root tmpfs -A "crashkernel=no net.ifnames=1 rootfstype=ramfs" container-host

Set up Container Storage

Since the deployed nodes are ephemeral - that is they run out of a RAM disk, we may want to to store container images as well as administrative data on disk. Luckily, Warewulf is capable of configuring disks on the deployed nodes. For this example, we assumes that the container storage should reside on disk /dev/sdb, we are using the entire disk and we want to scrap the data at every boot. Of course other setups are possible, check the upstream documentation for details.

wwctl profile add container-storage
wwctl profile set --diskname /dev/sdb --diskwipe "true" \
      --partnumber 1 --partcreate --partname container_storage \
      --fsname container_storage --fswipe --fsformat ext4 \
	  --fspath /var/lib/rancher \
      container-storage

Note: When booting the node from Warewulf, the entire disk (/dev/sdb in this example) will be wiped. Make sure it does not contain any valuable data!

Set up the Connection Key

When we've set up our environment, we generated a unique connection key which we will use throughout this K8s cluster to allow agents (and secondary servers) to connect to the primary server.

wwctl profile add rke2-config-key
wwctl profile set --tagadd="connectiontoken=${token}" \
              -O rke2-config rke2-config-key

Set up the Server Profile

Here, we set up a profile which is used to point agents - and secondary servers - to the primary server:

wwctl profile add rke2-config-first-server
wwctl profile set --tagadd="server=${server}" -O rke2-config rke2-config-first-server

Set up and Start the Nodes

Now, we are ready to deploy our nodes.

Set up and deploy the Server Node

If applicable, set up the server node

wwctl node set \
      -P default,container-host,container-storage,rke2-config-key \
      -C leap15.6-RKE2-server ${server}
wwctl overlay build ${server}

Now, we are ready to PXE-boot the first server.

Set up and deploy the Agent Nodes

We now configure the agent nodes and build the overlays:

wwctl node set \
      -P default,container-host,container-storage,rke2-config-key,rke2-config-first-server \
      -C leap15.6-RKE2-agent ${agents}
wwctl overlay build ${agents}

Once the first server node is up and running we can now start PXE-booting the agents. They should connect to the server automatically.

Check Node Status

To check the status of the nodes, we connect to the server through ssh and run

kubectl get nodes

to check the status of the available agents.

Appendix: Set Up CA Certificates and caluculate Node Access Token

Rancher provides a script (enerate-custom-ca-certs.sh) to generate the different certificates required for a K8s cluster. First, download this script to current directory:

curl -sOL --output-dir
. https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/raw/master/contrib/util/generate-custom-ca-certs.sh

and run the following commands:

export DATA_DIR=$(mktemp -d $(pwd)/tmp-XXXXXXXX)
chmod go-rwx $DATA_DIR
./generate-custom-ca-certs.sh
wwctl overlay rm -f rke2-ca
wwctl overlay create rke2-ca
files="server-ca.crt server-ca.key client-ca.crt client-ca.key \
	request-header-ca.crt request-header-ca.key \
    etcd/peer-ca.crt etcd/peer-ca.key etcd/server-ca.crt etcd/server-ca.key"
for d in $files; do
	d=${DATA_DIR}/server/tls/$d
    wwctl overlay import --parents rke2-ca $d /var/lib/rancher/rke2/${d#${DATA_DIR}/}.ww
    wwctl overlay chown rke2-ca /var/lib/rancher/rke2/${d#${DATA_DIR}/}.ww 0
    wwctl overlay chmod rke2-ca /var/lib/rancher/rke2/${d#${DATA_DIR}/}.ww $(stat -c %a $d)
done
ca_hash=$(openssl x509 -in $DATA_DIR/server/tls/root-ca.crt -outform DER \
	|sha256sum)
token="$( printf "K10${ca_hash%  *}::server:"; \
         for n in {1..41}; do printf %2.2x $(($RANDOM & 0xff));done )"

The certificates will be passed to the K8s in the system overlay. If you are setting up mulitple K8s clusters you may want to create separate certificates for each cluster and place the overlay name into the clusters namespace instead of using rke2-ca.
Before you delete $DATA_DIR, you may want to save the root and and intermiate certificates and keys ($DATADIR/server/tls/root-ca.*, ($DATADIR/server/tls/intermediate-ca.*) to a safe location. If you have a root and intermediate CA you want to reuse, you may copy these into the directory $DATADIR/server/tls before running generate-custom-ca-certs.sh. Use $token as the agent token instead.

  1. Secondary servers need to find the primary server endpoint like nodes. Therefore, they recieve the access token like nodes.

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Welcome back to our weekly review, where we dissect the latest snapshots to see what’s new in the openSUSE rolling release. This week has been incredibly busy, with a massive influx of updates touching nearly every part of the system, from the desktop environment and core libraries to the installer itself. Let’s get right into the details of what rolled out this week.

We published 5 snapshots (0815, 0816, 01817, 0818, and 0820) containing these changes:

  • KDE Gear 25.08.0
  • Linux kernel 6.16.1
  • Postgresql 17.6
  • SQLite 3.50.4
  • Virtualbox 7.2.0
  • glibc 2.42
  • git 2.51.0
  • hplip 3.25.6
  • Introduction of opensuse-welcome-launcher: a shell script that will allow us to show different ‘welcome apps’ per desktop. The future will go towards e.g. GNOME Tour on a GNOME Desktop.

The following things are currently being tested and will reach you when things are worked out:

  • Python 3.13.7
  • nftables 1.1.4: earlier detected issues could be solved
  • Rust 1.89

openSUSE Welcome Receiving Makeover

The familiar openSUSE-welcome window that greets millions of desktops is nearing retirement and a new approach will soon take its place.

Rather than re-inventing the wheel, members of openSUSE’s release team have decided to tweak and refine existing solutions like gnome-tour for GNOME and plasma-welcome for KDE’s Plasma by making a new controller and opensuse-welcome-launcher to coordinate them and provide desktop-specific content.

This new welcome-launcher manages which greeter to run depending on the desktop environment. This gives openSUSE’s release team more control over when and how welcome screens are shown, instead of relying on each greeter’s own autostart mechanism.

The launcher isn’t limited to the first boot. It can display greeters after major system updates so users learn about new features, enhancements, and changes in a timely way.

The enrollment of this new greeter will be done in multiple phases.

1) The launcher will initially call the well known legacy openSUSE-welcome. The only difference is that it loses the checkbox show on next boot, as it’s no longer in charge of autostart.

Geeko

2) The launcher triggers openSUSE branded gnome-tour and plasma-welcome while keeping openSUSE-welcome as a fallback (in case it’s installed).

3) The legacy Qt5-based greeter will eventually be decommissioned. We should have an agreed fallback on desktop sessions without dedicated greeter.

The phased approach allows integration with openQA testing and provides flexibility for future improvements.

Geeko

Since opensuse-welcome-launcher is considered a legacy and is one of the last Qt5-dependent applications, the move will help phase out some remaining Qt5 components across the distribution.
