Introduction

The installation on the preferred hardware is done by booting the system over network. The preferred hardware for a uMEC node is a Raspberry Pi (3B+ or 4B).

...

There are instructions on how to prepare a MicroMEC cluster for network boot.

In a netboot setup the uMEC nodes load the Linux kernel image and initramfs via TFTP from the netboot server. The root file system of each node is a separate iscsi target on the netboot server. The uMEC nodes login to the iscsi target during boot up.

...

The boot server must have the TFTP/BOOTP server and NFS server installed. For more details please refer to the MicroMEC Netboot document.

In the simplest setup the jump host to the uMEC cluster is the netboot server itself. Requirements of that are defined in the MicroMEC Netboot document.
