The convergence of IT and OT poses obstacles that are in contradiction with the cloud-native ecosystem and practices, yet we need and want to make it work. In this session, Benoy and Vadim share their stories about the legacy technologies and obstacles they have seen on the factory floors of this world. What measures and approaches do they take to make cloud native methodologies and tools work at the edge.

Attendees will learn how Advantest uses Harbor Container Registry and legacy SSH and FTP connectivity to distribute software to the edge and bridge the gap between the IT and OT worlds, ensuring seamless and secure data transfer. The talk will highlight practical approaches used in the field for achieving IT/OT convergence, address pitfalls, and showcase real-world use cases.
