Kubernetes has evolved far beyond traditional cloud and datacenter deployments, increasingly powering workloads in edge sites, airgapped environments with intermittent connectivity, limited resources and remote locations.

We will show a live fleet of Raspberry Pis running lightweight kubernetes on stage with poor network to demonstrate how a simple app update will choke your entire edge cluster. And how a single image pull can quickly lead to cascading failures, resulting in ImagePullBackOffs and total service disruption.

We will show how to prevent this and numerous problems on edge with Harbor Satellite, a subproject of Harbor which acts as a lightweight, decentralized registry at edge optimizing bandwidth & artifact delivery. We will also showcase its advanced capabilities such as automatic onboarding with no static secrets, HA and adding resiliency to your remote clusters.
