We break down the edge compute cluster by the Chick-fil-A team, and we talk about how they use Kubernetes, specifically K3s in 2500 of their restaurants to build an IoT and restaurant management system. This system uses Intel Knucks, a commodity commercial residential grade hardware.
It’s an update on a four year old Kubernetes story with a lot of buzz, and they show how they have been successful building this system.
If you’re interested in Kubernetes, Edge DevOps and distributed systems, this episode has a lot to enjoy.
