KubeconNA23 - Justin Barksdale chats about cloud native and edge computing

Justin Barksdale on Kubernetes Management and Edge Computing Justin Barksdale, Principal Architect at SpectroCloud, joins us today to discuss Kubernetes management and edge computing. Kubernetes Management Kubernetes is a powerful tool for managing containerized applications, but it can also be complex. Justin shares his insights on how to manage Kubernetes clusters effectively, including: Consistency across multiple clouds and on-premises environments Automating tasks to reduce manual effort Using GitOps for declarative configuration Monitoring and alerting for proactive issue detection Edge Computing Edge computing is the deployment of computing resources closer to the data source, which can improve performance and reduce latency. Justin discusses the challenges of managing Kubernetes at the edge, such as: Limited resources Unreliable connectivity Security concerns He also shares UpcoCloud's approach to edge computing, which includes: Using immutable images to secure operating systems Enabling self-healing clusters Deploying containers to edge devices using a lightweight container runtime Join us for this informative and engaging discussion on Kubernetes management and edge computing.
