Datacenter in a Suitcase - a real small edge case - Mario Fahlandt

This talk explores the growing challenges and opportunities within the cloud native community, particularly focused on the concept of portable datacenters. The speaker presents a case study on building a compact datacenter that can easily travel to remote locations, utilizing a MiniITX Clusterboard with multiple ARM-based hardware nodes. Key technologies discussed include KubeVirt for utilization and the small control plane approach of the Kubermatic Kubernetes platform to form a true multi-cluster environment. The session highlights the open-source design process, showcasing how various CNCF projects collaborate to provide accessible blueprints for creating effective edge datacenters, ultimately encouraging broader experimentation and innovation within the edge computing landscape.
