Unleashing Kubernetes for Secure Bare-Metal Workloads

Kubernetes is great for general cloud-native workloads but struggles with low latency and high-performance computing (HPC) due to its abstraction overhead, lack of optimized scheduling, and network inefficiencies. For such workloads, bare-metal environments with HPC-specific scheduling systems or specialized orchestration tools are often preferred. Additional security considerations exist for financial and trading applications as servers are frequently co-located in hostile environments. This session will cover extending Kubernetes via Custom Resource Definition (CRD) to support secure bare-metal environments.

Latency: The Race to Zero...Are We There Yet?

Wednesday Apr 9 / 03:55PM BST

Low and predictable latency have been an edge in financial trading. Aeron has been pushing the limit on what is possible for IPC, on-premise, and in the cloud messaging. Can we do better?
