The article looks at the problem of using single -board computers for Internet technology . An analysis of current single-board computers in various countries was carried out. Single-board computers and clusters of single-board computers have found their place in the concept of edge computing, allowing optimization of hard computing by placing computing resources closer to the core. The idea of a “virtual cluster” lies in the unification and organization of disparate heterogeneous devices for the development of various complex computing tasks from the available resources of the existing infrastructure of edge computing, what is known in the area. First of all, we have secured the resources of single-board computers. Such a cluster will also allow the use of resources from the existing infrastructure in a more efficient way, for example, by activating additional services from processing and saving data.
