Running Kubernetes at the Wellsite - Lessons from Distributed Edge Deployments

Explore the challenges and solutions of running Kubernetes in distributed edge environments through a case study of an oilfield services provider. Learn how to manage thousands of small clusters instead of a single large cluster, implement projects in constrained environments, and address unique edge computing challenges. Gain insights into wellsite automation, equipment control, and monitoring in mixed-workload environments with node clustering. Discover the benefits of EVE, developed by the Linux Foundation's LF Edge organization, for deploying Kubernetes at the distributed edge, focusing on key requirements such as security, autonomy, and scalability for compute resources outside secure data centers.
