Living on the Edge - Kubernetes as Software Delivery Mechanism for the Far Edge

Learn about deploying Kubernetes at the far edge in this 33-minute conference talk that explores innovative solutions for creating minimal resource edge sites. Discover an alternative approach that enables edge deployment in small business settings, industrial applications, and autonomous sensor arrays with only basic power and network requirements. Explore the technical architecture combining central cloud infrastructure with compact Kubernetes edge clusters and automated secure connectivity. Through a live demonstration, see how a Kubernetes edge device automatically connects to a central site and executes workloads. Examine key considerations including technical challenges, environmental factors, cost implications, and operational risks involved in implementing this edge computing solution. Speaker Christian Huebner provides practical insights into making edge computing accessible without requiring on-site technical expertise.
