About this talk
This talk addresses the challenges of installing Kubernetes in environments where nodes are not connected to the internet, particularly in settings prioritizing data protection and critical infrastructure. The speaker discusses typical enterprise architectures that employ multiple layers of protection, including firewalls, to create isolated workloads and reach highly secure, air-gapped environments. They explore how Kubernetes can operate effectively in such scenarios, detailing the necessary artifacts and binaries for installation that are typically sourced externally. The session provides an overview of a proposed architecture tailored for these use cases and delves into a reference implementation showcasing a fully functional air-gapped multicluster Kubernetes environment hosted on AWS.
