Running Kubernetes at the edge is tough. You need simplicity, security, and the ability to work even when the internet is unreliable or completely disconnected.

In this session, we'll show you how to handle these challenges. We’ll deploy and manage an entire Kubernetes cluster in a completely "air-gapped" environment using Talos Linux and Zarf. Talos is a rock-solid, predictable operating system built specifically for Kubernetes. Zarf is the magic that bundles everything; the OS, Kubernetes itself, and all your apps into a single package you can take anywhere.

Join us for a live demo where we'll spin up a Talos cluster from bare metal on-stage with zero internet connectivity. Then, we'll upgrade the entire cluster and its OS right on the spot using a simple Zarf package. You'll leave with a clear blueprint for managing secure, independent Kubernetes clusters at the edge without all the usual complexity.
