Disconnected Environments in a Connected World

Explore the unique challenges and solutions for software development in air-gapped environments through this 40-minute conference talk from the Linux Foundation. Learn how to adapt modern development practices when internet connectivity is unavailable or restricted, addressing the reality that many critical sectors including government, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing operate in disconnected environments. Discover practical approaches for managing dependencies, applying updates, and automating software deliveries without network access, as speakers Daniel Moch from Lockheed Martin and Eddie Zaneski from Defense Unicorns share real-world examples and proven strategies. Understand why traditional CI/CD pipelines and package managers fail in these scenarios and gain insights into alternative methodologies that enable effective software development and deployment in security-conscious or isolated environments.
