Open Source Summit North America 2023

How do you build a computing platform for "hands-off" operations and deploy it in the middle of a fish farm? What considerations do you take when designing the network stack for an agricultural deployment where heavy machinery will obstruct Line-of-Sight and reliable data transmission? In this talk, Kerim explains real-world strategies to consider when deploying compute at the edge, which pitfalls to avoid, and why. The speaker dives deep into the networking and security aspects and discusses them in the context of low-powered devices and multi-regional clusters. Attendees can expect to learn about tactics and strategies that have proven themselves when deploying edge computing networks and how open-source tooling can help. Following the talk, attendees can experiment with most of the underlying code of the talk, which is made available through GitHub.
