Keynote: Living on the Edge: From Chicken Sandwiches to the Danger...
summary
Chick‑fil‑A runs K3s with one git repo per location to enable versioning, rollback and cloneable configs; edge nodes are tiny Intel NUCs or Raspberry Pi 5s imaged via microSD, managed by a lightweight GitOps pipeline. A military deployable stack uses rugged A10G routers, milsatcom and VMs in vans. Telemetry is minimal by default — verbose logs once caused broke card processing in <100 stores — and storage uses multiple NVMe paths with remote wipe and measured‑boot protections. Declarative first, security built in.
