Sometimes you need a real-world problem to learn new skills. In my case, it took a giant problem. Without spoiling anything, I needed to figure out a solution to solve something I had been struggling with for the last 18 months or so. The learning curve was steep, but very satisfying. In this talk I will explain how I used K3s, a cluster of GPU-enabled edge devices, NVIDIA Deepstream, and perseverance to avoid a war with the neighbors. During the talk, I'll share lessons learned and show demos so everyone is able to kickstart their own AI journey.
