Deploying on the Edge

·1 hr 1 min·5 clips
Jeff explains how Zarf uses a mutating webhook to deploy container images without internet in edge environments.
SEI researchers discuss deploying cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes on resource-constrained edge devices, covering challenges such as air-gapped environments, automation with tools like Harvester and Zarf, and security considerations including DevSecOps practices.

As heard by us

A clear look at what it takes to ship Kubernetes into constrained edge environments.

The episode treats Kubernetes on edge hardware as a hard systems problem, not a slogan. It stays close to the work: packaging discipline, the Zarf lifecycle, cache behavior, timeout tuning, and the way a large workload like Longhorn can turn a rollout into a dependency tangle…
