**7:00 - General announcements and news**

**7:15 -** **Two-node HA kubernetes for edge computing cost savings - Tyler Gillson, Principal Software Engineer @ Spectro Cloud**

When you’re scaling production K8s workloads to hundreds or thousands of edge sites, you know you need HA — but with conventional 3-node architectures, the hardware costs can be terrifying. This talk presents a new architecture for 2-node HA that gives you the resilience you need, and 33% cost savings.

We'll cover:

\- The challenge: real end user examples from hospitals\, coffee shops and factory floors where 3\-node HA proved problematic
\- The problem space: existing alternatives such as external data stores and ‘witnesses’ — and why they fall short
\- The blueprint: a new OSS\-based 2\-node HA design built on kairos\, k3s\, kine\, and postgres
\- Tradeoffs: when and where 2\-node makes sense and how it stacks up against traditional 3\-node k8s\.

Tyler is a programmer and a problem solver, with 6 years of experience designing, discussing, and building complex systems in a multitude of languages. His technical interests lie in cloud computing, automation, declarative infrastructure and application configuration for distributed systems. When he isn’t building things, Tyler can often be found playing with rocks: scrambling, climbing, and mountain biking.

**8:00 - Resilient Workloads in Kubernetes: From Cloud to Edge with WebAssembly - Lachlan Heywood, wasmCloud Contributor & Software Engineering Lead @ Cosmonic**

Lachlan will give an overview of WebAssembly outside the browser, the wasmCloud CNCF project and how it can assist building and deploying resilient workloads in Kubernetes across regions, clouds and to the edge.
