Edge Kubernetes and Healthcare: A Next-Gen Architecture that Scales Across Thousands of Locations - Benjamin Beeman, GE Healthcare & Jeremy Oakey, Spectro Cloud

Edge computing and K8s have the potential to transform every industry, by bringing apps, data and outcomes closer to end-users, but it can be a significant paradigm shift for most enterprises when it comes to operationalization. For the healthcare industry, requirements such as security, availability and performance across thousands of locations are demanding for a new type of architecture and efficient tooling. Join this talk, if you're interested in learning about the requirements and gotchas of running and delivering K8s applications across thousands of edge locations, with 0 tolerance for mistakes. GE Healthcare's Senior Staff Software Architect, Ben Beeman and Spectro Cloud’s CTO, Saad Malik will discuss the lessons and how we need a next generation of edge architecture for the cloud native world. Beyond the theory, we will demo live the open source building blocks of managing the complete lifecycle at the edge, such as Cluster API, Libvirt, Docker and others.
