What Edge Computing Can Learn From the Moon Landings
2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. Decades later, the Apollo program still stands as one of humanity's most impressive technical achievements. To think that we sent people in the void of space using a computer running at 1.024MHz and around 76K of memory!
Space travel is one of the earliest examples we have of connected devices and distributed computing; a real precursor to IoT and Edge. Many of the lessons learned throughout the duration of the Apollo program are still relevant today. For example, did you know that Apollo 13 is a case in point for standardization? In this session, you will discover some of those lessons and how they can make your current and future deployments of Edge technologies better. You will also learn about various current approaches to Edge computing with and without Kubernetes.
