Nice write up! For this sort of thing, I have leaned towards AMD Epyc, Intel e810, and DPDK for the software stack. Unfortunately, lately the supermicro H13SSL line of mobo's appear to have become near-unobtainable with ridiculous 6+ month lead times.

Why that mobo specifically ?

  • No idea, you can still get one-off boards here and there, but buying anything in quantity has been tricky. I can only surmise supermicro's resources are largely tied up with AI data center build out, with everything else relegated to short runs.

Only issue I have with those smicro boards is that they dont support OpenBMC. I don't want to pay extra for a license to use the redfish api...
