The Force Awakens - Managing Millions of Kubernetes Clusters at the Edge

Explore the challenges and solutions of managing millions of Kubernetes clusters at the edge in this conference talk. Dive into the benefits of cloud-native technologies for edge computing and learn how Kubernetes can be effectively extended to handle massive-scale deployments. Discover a novel engineering approach to managing thousands of clusters and applications across disparate infrastructure without juggling multiple management tools. Gain practical insights, tips, and tricks for massive cluster management, and examine benchmarking results for managing one million clusters. Understand the architecture of Clusternet, its key highlights, and the prerequisites for constructing large-scale edge deployments. Conclude with lessons learned from the benchmark and future directions for edge computing with Kubernetes.
