DevConf.US 2022

The distributed nature of the future is hybrid – in data centers, in clouds, on the edge. Getting to the edge won’t be easy, but the ability to generate insights from data and act on these locally – where it matters – is transformative. Red Hat CTO and SVP of Global Engineering Chris Wright will share how Red Hat, an open partner ecosystem, and open source communities are taking on the challenges of edge computing to deliver on its big promise.

As we move computing and applications out of the data-center to closer to the edge we need to rethink how computing works.  Lots of questions arise like:

How do I update hundreds of thousands of nodes?
What happens if the update fails?
How do I update all of the applications on these nodes?
How do I add and remove applications to these nodes after they have been distributed?
How do I make sure that these computers are safe and secure?

This talk will cover some of my ideas, mostly stolen from others, on potential solutions to these problems. Hint we are closer than you think.
