07 – Will We Be Able to Operate Big Kubernetes Clusters With 1 Mio. Nodes on the Edge?

Posted on Thursday, Mar 4, 2021

It’s edge time again. In this episode, we speak with Jim White, CTO at IOTech Systems. Jim explains why visual inference with new Machine Learning technologies will be critical to a lot of use cases and what other exciting innovation topics he sees for edge and IoT. While being optimistic about bringing some of the cloud native technologies to the edge, Jim keeps a critical stance: getting solutions deployed at a massive scale will be difficult – can we take advantage of the lessons learned in cloud native environments to master the challenges? And beyond that, what does a rolling truck have to do with all that?
