Running workloads on the edge means operating with a finite amount of compute resources, which means that running workloads as lightweight as possible is generally preferable. In contrast, securely operating workloads in the cloud often means spinning up additional virtual machines for strong workload isolation. On the edge, this strategy is often not feasible. This talk covers how you can securely run containers in lightweight Kubernetes clusters on the edge entirely without the need for virtualization. This talk will cover different hardening approaches and compare them with special focus on securing AI workloads on the edge.

Lukas Gentele is the CEO & Co-Founder of vCluster Labs, a venture-backed startup virtualizing Kubernetes to enable advanced tenancy models to increase utilization, reduce cost and make Kubernetes more dynamic than ever. vCluster enables platform and infra teams to create virtual Kubernetes clusters which are as scalable and isolated as traditional clusters but much more lightweight and versatile. Trusted by companies such as CoreWeave, Nscale, Adobe, and Deloitte, vCluster enables organizations to create fully isolated tenant clusters on any infrastructure, from public cloud to private clouds all the way to AI supercomputers powered by the latest GPUs. Lukas has been a keynote speaker and presenter at events such as KubeCon, DevOpsDays, ContainerConf, as well as at AWS and Kubernetes Community Days around the world.
