compile

In this post I cover how I create a cluster to compile the linux kernel. Recently I needed to compile the linux kernel for my personal PC and it was really slow with only 2 cores, 4 threads. it ocurred to me, I didn’t need a new computer, perhaps I could compile the kernel in aws using ec2 instances. However if I had only one EC2 instance it will be the same case, unless I chose a really big instance type, but I could create a cluster of cheaper machines and have them running to compile the linux kernel, then I could copy the generated files over ssh to my current laptop and destroy all the infrastructure.
