 This is a very lighthearted conversation, just to give you some insight and help you think critically about the complexities that we see at the edge. So the title is Discovering the Final Turtle, Understanding the Landscape of the Cloud Native Industrial Edge. So I want to start out by talking about the taxonomy that we created probably three years ago, about understanding how to see and segment the edge. On the left, you'll see the cloud data centers, all the centralized services that we know and love. And as you move away from that toward the edge, you run into very distinct segments. When we call the first segment the near edge, which is the realm of the communications, service providers, telcos globally, you'll see a lot of 5G deployments there in some other use cases. The interesting things happen, though, when you jump over that line at D-mark, that access point, that router, or whatever it is, and you get into what we call the far edge. So this is typically on-premises. And you'll see Kubernetes as everybody's been talking about Kubernetes running at that location. That boundary there is typically a physical boundary. It's also a logical layer two network, for example. And within that network, within that location, you'll find industrial IoT devices. And so I wanted to preface this talk with this taxonomy because we're going to come back to it and talk about some complexities there. So the industrial IoT space is ridiculously complex. There's a lot going on. I've taken on some research around that space. And it's just a little bit overwhelming when you first jump into it. But there's light at the end of the tunnel. And so the purpose of this talk is to show that there is an in-game here that we all collectively can participate in. So this is a great analogy talking about infinite regression. So there's this story about how is the universe and how is the Earth like supported, right? And so the answer that this Eastern guru says is that the Earth is supported on the back of a tiger. And so the person asks the question, OK, so what is the tiger standing on? And the guru says the tiger is standing on the back of an elephant. OK, so what is the elephant standing on? Well, the elephant is standing on the back of a giant turtle. And so the guru gets another question. OK, so what is the turtle standing on? And so he pauses and he says, it's turtles all the way down, OK? So I use this story and this analogy because it is very relevant to the complexity that we see in the industrial IoT space as we go further and further toward the edge. Because the device protocols, the industries, the use cases are very, very complex. And so if we take our taxonomy and apply it to the turtle analogy, you've got the Earth at the top as the cloud centralized services and you come down to the foundational elements of the edge, you run into that industrial IoT space. And that is, in my perspective, the final turtle, right? This is the final thing that we need to solve for because here's the magic. If we solve for that collectively as an open source community, we can then extract value and make a U-turn back up and bring that value to our customers, our use cases, what have you. So at the bottom layer, at that industrial space, you'll see a crowded world of industrial IoT protocols. So Jiyan and Nikolai talked about Ocari. That is phenomenal work and we're big champions of Ocari. If you double-click in that space anywhere, you'll see that the industrial IoT protocol landscape is very complex and very diverse and very siloed. And so what our mission is, collectively, is to put our arms around that community, drop into that and make a standardized cloud-native interface for that siloed nature into, let's say, our Kubernetes world, right? And so that's sort of the mission of Ocari, but there's a lot of work to be done there. So it's interesting that, strategically, these protocols are typically tied to a sub-industry in the industrial space. For example, there is a protocol called BackNet, BACNet, and it's building automation and control protocol, right? So if you are going to say, okay, we're gonna go offer cloud-native solutions for the smart building management industry, you have to speak BackNet. So one of our missions is, okay, let's get BackNet support into Ocari so we can discover all of the smart building devices so we can have our containers talk to them, manage those and do things like that. So the point is, in addition to the protocol diversity, landscape, and legacy, we also have industry-specific affinity to those protocols. So as I said, smart building management is BackNet and you can go into any one of these industries, do a survey of the players in that space, and then you can derive which protocols matter so you can tell a great story. And so the merging of those two is a very complex world and it's gonna take all of us to solve that. And so here's the thing. The final turtles at the bottom. If we have connectivity, discovery, manageability of those industrial devices via the protocols, we can then pull metrics from that space, from those worlds, from those devices, from those actuators, from those IP cameras and do really cool things. So this is where I say, it's a U-turn back up to the top, okay? Because in our world, what I like to say to customers is that our whole mission is to push business value to the edge where it does the best good, right? And so by having that low-level connectivity, that infrastructure play, it allows us to do the things and allows us to feed our AI overlords in the future so we'll be told what to do. So, but this is really unlocking the edge value and we have to start here. And again, the space is so complex that it's literally gonna take all of us to do it. So here is the ask and challenge. Let's work together. Let's possibly look at Aukary as our home base for this and let's extend the discovery handlers and the capabilities in Aukary so that we all collectively benefit from pulling that value at the final layer and bring that back to the top. So that's my talk. Very much appreciate the time. I don't think we have time for questions, but happy to be here and I'll see you at the booth and around KubeCon this week.
