Manage fleets of edge devices and applications with Flight Control
In this session, you will learn about Flight Control, a project for declaratively and securely managing fleets of edge devices and their applications. Declare a fleet’s target configuration and rollout policy and Flight Control takes care of rolling out changes to all devices in the fleet and rolling up status. Flight Control is designed for modern, container-centric toolchains and operational best practices. It works best on image-based Linux operating systems running bootc or ostree and with container workloads running on Podman/Docker or Kubernetes.
