Six of the computers run Talos Linux and are your "cluster nodes". One computer will run your local network's name server so you can access internal cloud applications. The last computer is just used to manage your cluster. Most of these computers can be small or old machines, and they are all managed by Wild Cloud, so don't think it's too expensive or complicated to get started. A really useful wild cloud can be built for less than the price of a new smart phone.
