Kubernetes on Edge Day

According to a forecast from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Edge Spending Guide, combined enterprise and service provider spending across hardware, software, professional services, and provisioned services for edge solutions will sustain strong growth through 2027 when spending will reach nearly $350 billion. With hardware and software dispersed across hundreds or even thousands of locations, the simple paradigms around observability, loosely coupled systems, declarative APIs, and strong automation that have propelled the success of cloud native technologies in the cloud are the only feasible way to manage these distributed systems. Kubernetes is already a significant component of the edge ecosystem, driving integrations and operations.

Join us at Kubernetes on the Edge Day at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon and take part in defining the future intersection of cloud native and edge computing!
