CNCF-hosted Co-located Events North America 2024

Edge computing is revolutionizing the shipping & logistics industry, enabling real-time insights & decision-making & providing a more seamless customer experience. This session shares the story of a Global F500 shipping company who turned to a Kubernetes-based packet core app to support their connected device strategy. Yet running K8s in the ocean, where you may have thousands of 3-node clusters vs a few 1,000-node clusters, requires a different approach. Distributed environments, with variables such as intermittent connectivity, security concerns & IT resources on the shore miles away, complicate these projects. Learn how they addressed these challenges with a scalable architecture across the entire fleet. This session will also provide an intro to EVE, developed within LF Edge from the Linux Foundation. EVE provides the ideal infrastructure for deploying K8s at the edge by addressing needs in areas like security, autonomy & scale for compute resources outside of secure data centers.
