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.

When it comes to IoT, many engineers encounter challenges in automating infrastructure provisioning, deploying IoT applications across multiple sites, and managing thousands of IoT devices spread across different geographic locations. The complexity and dynamic nature of IoT ecosystems, characterized by diverse protocols and ever-changing statuses, makes it overwhelming. Imagine an automated approach that seamlessly deploys and configures these devices in real-time. GitOps has emerged as a leading trend to facilitate collaboration, configuration, and deployment of intricate and dynamic applications. Join us for this session where we present our solution for deploying dynamic IoT applications over a Private 5G network in a hybrid cloud environment. This session will give details on how the integration of CNCF projects such as Nephio, and Akri can transform your IoT management through the adoption of GitOps principles.
