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.
