The Wild West of Edge Kubernetes: Pioneers Wanted, Outlaws Welcome
The edge isn’t new—it’s the desired frontier for businesses racing to monetize 5G. But delivering low-cost, high-performance solutions with security, resiliency, and speed is no easy feat. Kubernetes and CNCF projects are here to help tame this wild landscape.
This session explores how open-source tools like K3s, KubeEdge, Volcano, Prometheus, and others enable scalable, secure, and observable edge computing. We’ll dive into real-world use cases and wrap up with an interactive game where you choose the best CNCF project combinations to solve edge challenges. Will you go lightweight with K3s and Linkerd or robust with Istio and Longhorn? We will let the public make the final call.
Come along as we dive into the many alternatives Open-Source can offer for edge solutions. You’ll leave with clear, practical ideas and tools to create edge solutions that are affordable, strong, and ready for real-world challenges.
With Great Networks Come Great Carbon Savings: OpenSource + AI for RAN Optimization
Telecom networks, especially with 5G expansion, are major energy consumers. What if we could cut energy use and carbon emissions without compromising performance? In this session, we’ll show how Kubernetes and OpenSource tools can transform Radio Access Networks (RAN) into energy-efficient systems.
We’ll walk through deploying AI/ML pipelines to predict network traffic and optimize energy in real-time. Using Kubernetes for scalability, Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring, and open-source tools for automation, we’ll demonstrate how these technologies come together to tackle energy challenges.
The session ends with a live demo, starting with a RAN simulator, integrating AI workloads, and visualizing energy-saving results. You’ll see the power of OpenSource in action and leave with practical tips, reusable code, and a clear vision for making telecom networks more sustainable.
Next-Level 5G Core Deployments: Harnessing eBPF's Capabilities for Performance and Security
This session will focus on the power of applying eBPF to 5G Core deployments over Kubernetes.
We aim to examine and discuss how eBPF can improve network performance and security and contribute to the evolution of existing 5G technologies.
Our presentation will start with an overview of eBPF – a revolutionary technology that allows for dynamic tracing of the kernel, enhancing network routing, load balancing, and security. We will discuss challenges for current 5G deployment strategies and how eBPF can provide practical solutions, emphasizing its potential benefits and relevance in the 5G context. Then we will transition into a detailed exploration of deploying a CNI with eBPF in a 5GCore solution over Kubernetes.
The last part of the session will conclude with a real-world demonstration of deploying LTERAN and establishing end-to-end communication, showcasing the practical implications and benefits of using eBPF in 5G deployment strategies and some takeaways.
The LEGO Way to Kubernetes: Breaking It Down, Rebuilding It Stronger
This highly interactive, LEGO-inspired session explores K8s through a technical lens. Picture a junior engineer breaking a complex LEGO structure—losing a crucial piece in the process—and a senior engineer stepping in to identify the missing block and reconstruct the system. In this session, we’ll treat K8s as a system of interconnected components, deliberately dismantling a fully functional cluster to simulate real-world failures.
Using audience-driven inputs via voting, we’ll explore scenarios like stopping critical services, corrupting etcd data, disabling kubelet on nodes, or breaking CNI configurations. Each failure will be diagnosed and resolved live using tools such as kubectl for cluster diagnostics, etcdctl for state restoration, and kubeadm for rebuilding.
This session equips K8s practitioners with practical troubleshooting techniques, deepens architectural knowledge, and demonstrates how K8s can be rebuilt from failure scenarios—just like piecing back a LEGO masterpiece.
Mission Possible: Forging a New Paradigm in 5G Deployment through CDK and AI Issue Navigation
This talk will outline the deployment and fine-tuning of the 5G core. Our approach utilizes customized CDK constructs and LLMs to establish a fully operational Edge 5G core network.
In the first part of the session, we will showcase a new way of combining LLM with our existing 5G core network, which will be deployed using CDK construct. We will then use data from logs to continuously feed and update the training pipeline. This setup enables open-source LLMs to quickly adapt and provide on-the-spot, practical insights.
The last part of the session will conclude with a real-world demonstration where the LLM successfully collects logs in real-time including the 5G codebase, to serve as a training dataset to diagnose and rectify any challenging error in this Edge 5G network, showcasing its capability to analyze and suggest corrective actions effectively. This approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also optimizes response strategies in 5G telecommunications infrastructure.
