Q:What makes Harvester different from traditional HCI platforms?
A:Harvester uses open-source core components, operates directly on bare-metal, and supports both VMs and containers—all without licensing fees.

Q: Can Harvester manage both VMs and Kubernetes workloads?
A:Yes—thanks to KubeVirt integration, VMs run alongside containers under a unified Kubernetes interface.

Q:What hardware is required to deploy Harvester?
A: A 16-core x86 server with 32+ GB RAM and fast SSD/NVMe storage is recommended for production clusters.

Q:How does Harvester handle storage?
A: It uses Longhorn for distributed, block-level storage with built-in redundancy, snapshots, and replication.

Q:Is Harvester suitable for edge or remote deployment?
A:Absolutely. Harvester is lightweight, supports ARM64 (v1.5+), and can run with as few as one or two nodes.
