This won't hurt a bit: Taking Kubernetes to thousands of dental offices
summary
Dentsply Sirona runs Kubernetes on GPUs at the edge to power intraoral scanners across 3,000+ dental clinics, using Kyros + Pallet Edge to deliver zero-touch plug and play onboarding, OS-as-container images with A/B rollback, remote GitOps updates via Argo CD, RKE2, Longhorn and Calico, and full-disk encryption with measured/secure boot. The rollout automates provisioning with Terraform, supports single-node clusters, handles flaky networks with a VXLAN overlay, and proves low failure rates and remote recoverability.
