Enabling Real-Time Media in Kubernetes

Explore how Kubernetes can be enhanced to support real-time media applications in this keynote presentation by Giles Heron, Principal Engineer at Cisco. Discover the challenges of deploying media production and edge video applications on Kubernetes, including the need for minimal loss and jitter in multi-gigabit media streams. Learn about Media Streaming Mesh, an open-source project that addresses these challenges by deploying real-time media proxies to each Kubernetes node. Gain insights into the project's cloud-native approach and its separated control plane / data plane architecture. Watch the first public live demo showcasing how Media Streaming Mesh distributes video feeds to multiple downstream applications within a Kubernetes cluster, enabling efficient real-time media processing and distribution in cloud-native environments.
