The Truth about Kubernetes
By Gerrit Tamboer
Kubernetes, the game-changer revolutionizing infrastructure, has taken the world by storm. Its impact goes far beyond just the cool kids in SaaS startups; even large corporations are jumping on the bandwagon, eager to embrace its transformative potential.
But here's the catch: while Kubernetes is booming, there's still a surprising amount of resistance to innovation and a lack of maturity in its widespread adoption. So, why aren't more companies riding this wave of change?
In this presentation, Gerrit will take us on a journey through the origins of Kubernetes, explore its current state, and chart a course for the future. More importantly, he'll show us how WE—the passionate minds of today—can play a pivotal role in shaping the Cloud Native space for the better.
Join us as we uncover the truth about Kubernetes and discover how this cutting-edge technology holds immense potential for innovators. Don't miss out on the chance to be part of this transformative movement!

Chick-fil-A's Edge Architecture
By Brian Chambers
Chick-fil-A runs a fleet of Edge-deployed Kubernetes clusters across our 2.800+ Quick Service Restaurants to enable highly resilient in-restaurant application deployments. In this session you will learn about Chick-fil-A’s Edge Architecture, how it adds business value, and how we manage a large deployment in a highly constrained environment.
We’ll share about the tradeoffs that were made to keep the architecture as simple as possible. You will also learn about how we solved some of the common edge challenges such as cluster provisioning, app deployment, and observability.
Finally, we’ll share lessons learned from operating at scale in production for 4.5 years.

Do you need to take General Relativity into consideration when measuring your elevator?
By Erwin de Keijzer
During KubeCon this talk was completely full so, because of the huge success now also at Edgecase! Erwin's house has an elevator so you might think it's an apartment, but no, it's a family home with an elevator. Ever since moving in Erwin has wanted to upgrade the elevator experience. In this talk, Erwin explains how he used open-source projects like NATS, Grafana, Prometheus and InfluxDB to measure performance.
He will show some epic dashboards with insights into the elevator performance. This talk will not feature a live demo, Erwin thought about bringing the elevator with him, but it was not accepted by his family.

Kubernetes on the Edge of IT Budgets
By Jason Yee
Kubernetes has made deploying services to production easy, but it's also made it easy for sprawl to occur. With growing financial concerns and tightening budgets, how can you ensure that your Kubernetes cluster does not cost more than you can afford?
In this session, I’ll share how Datadog manages our large-scale clusters while optimizing cloud costs. I’ll cover some of the processes we’ve implemented and dive into our company-wide initiative to migrate all of our cluster nodes from x86 to Arm64.

(Military) Edge Of Tomorrow
By John Stroosnijder & Stefan van Gastel
Not all edges are alike. The Dutch Ministry Of Defence (MoD) has a need for edge computing in some very special, high-demanding and constrained locations. Besides modern data centers, the MoD also requires computing power and storage in remote locations. These can be in small local data centers (aka broom closets) or abroad in (physical) containers or tents but also think of ships and vehicles that are on the move and not always connected to the network or main power grid. Running edge computing on these locations is always an issue. This asks for a new approach on edge computing, making it robust and secure with a minimal power consumption, but still easy to use. We will share our vision and work on creating an army green tainted edge, using green energy resources, mobility and modern communication methods.

Workshop
Enabling Experimentation with Ephemeral Environments
By Rio Kierkels
Join our workshop where we'll examine two methods for setting up dynamic environments using ArgoCD and Kubernetes, alongside GitLab. We'll guide you through how these environments are initiated by pull requests, updated with each Git push, and automatically tidied up after merges or closures. This practical understanding of the full lifecycle of on-demand ephemeral environments will showcase the flexibility of modern DevOps workflows. By the conclusion of this session, you'll be better prepared to apply these processes in your work, fostering an environment that encourages experimentation with your DevOps practices.
Workshop
Always gonna keep you up. Never gonna let you (go) down
By Jegor van Opdorp
Ready to take control of your digital sovereignty and free yourself from the constraints of US/China legislation and the whims of big tech companies? Say goodbye to the nightmares of downtime caused by the unavailability of a single provider. Discover strategies to distribute your application's workload across multiple clusters and clouds. Join us for a workshop where we will empower you to deploy load-balanced stateful applications across multiple clusters and clouds, all while keeping everything within the European Union and without relying on big tech giants.
Gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience with the following topics:
- Configuring Intercluster Networking: Use Linkerd, a robust service mesh, to establish efficient and reliable communication between your application's clusters.
- Deploying Highly Scalable Databases with TiDB: Discover the best practices for managing and scaling databases in a distributed environment across three clusters in an active-active setup.
- Automating Multicluster Application Stacks with Nova by Elotl: Automate and streamline the deployment process of your multicluster application stack. Learn how to leverage Nova, developed by Elotl, to simplify the orchestration and management of your distributed applications.
