Edge platforms are remote, resource-constrained, and mission-critical—making them ideal candidates for an immutable architecture. Edge environments demand resilience, security, and operational simplicity. This talk reimagines Kubernetes at the edge through a radical embrace of immutability, exploring how purpose-built, read-only operating systems, ephemeral workloads, and stateless infrastructure can transform the edge from a liability into a strength.
Inspired by Kundera’s existential lens, we’ll explore the philosophical and practical implications of immutability at the edge, using CNCF projects like k0s, Kairos, and Cluster API.we’ll architect a platform where every layer—from firmware to containers—is reproducible and replaceable, not mutable.
We'll see how Immutable builds can reduce attack surfaces, simplify updates, and achieve true zero-touch provisioning.
Join us to challenge the status quo—and embrace the lightness of being immutable.
