Presentation
Kubernetes on the Edge made easy with Talos Linux and Omni
3 speakers
Kubernetes gives you a unified API for managing workloads. Talos Linux extends that same promise all the way to the hardware layer, providing you with a single-purpose, self-healing foundation for powerful infrastructure. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll see how Talos Linux and Omni replace the complexity of traditional operating systems with infrastructure you can query, upgrade, and reconcile with minimal effort, at any scale.
We’ll start by bootstrapping a cluster that’s “boot-from-that-endpoint” easy, and bring it under Omni’s centralized management. With Omni, you’ll get real-time liveness reports, logs, access control, and encrypted communication out of the box, making it simple to see exactly what’s running and where. We’ll deploy applications to the edge, explore air-gapped and hybrid scenarios, and show how to scale the same architecture across data centers, on-prem, and cloud.By the end, you’ll have a working edge deployment, a clear view of its health, and a practical path to running Kubernetes anywhere.
