Keynote: ApeiroRA: Open-Source Toolbox for your own Cloud Infrastructure

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

ApeiroRA presents an open‑source toolbox to run a cloud‑edge continuum that claims to avoid hyperscaler lock‑in by combining Gardener (global Kubernetes-as-a-service), IronCore (minimal bare‑metal IaaS for two‑node edge sites), an Open‑Micro frontend and Apache‑2.0 licensing; EU backs it with €3.5B across 113 organizations in 12 countries. Demo shows automated cluster creation, OS/Kubernetes auto‑updates, hibernation and a Jitsi instance deployed to an edge cluster; Gardener already runs 10,000+ clusters in production.
