In this talk, we are going to introduce Kairos, an open-source project aimed at building immutable Operating Systems designed for edge computing, with a toolset simplifying operations at the edge, in a cloud-native way.
Kairos acts as an engine delivering immutable Kubernetes-enabled Linux OS from OCI conformant container images. It provides unique capabilities, such as VPN peer-to-peer mesh, distributed ledger to automate Kubernetes cluster bootstrapping and coordination, and zero-touch provisioning with a QR code scan. But more importantly, it does its magic using a declarative model backed by Kubernetes CRDs.
After explaining Kairos foundations and concepts, we will demonstrate its capabilities live, with a guaranteed “wow” effect, if the demo gods agree!
