Beyond the Edge: Cloud Native Application Management Under Ex... Tobias Nöthlich & Maximilian Nitsch

This talk, presented by Tobias Nöthlich and Maximilian Nitsch from D3TN GmbH, addresses the challenges of managing cloud-native applications in environments with high-latency or intermittent network connections. The speakers explore how Kubernetes can be leveraged to deploy, update, and manage containerized applications using Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocols. They discuss crucial integration points, networking abstractions, and practical considerations for operating applications in disconnected scenarios. Attendees will discover innovative use cases for Kubernetes in space and remote operations, ultimately broadening the scope of cloud-native computing under extreme network conditions.
