Ignite Talk: Kubernetes on RISC-V: An Open Hardware Odyssey

RISC-V isn’t just a curiosity anymore – it’s showing up in edge devices, AI accelerators, and even datacenter experiments. In five minutes, you’ll see how we brought an open source Kubernetes distro to life on RISC-V: what worked, what broke, and why it matters for the future of cloud-native computing. If you’ve ever wondered what “architecture independence” really means, this lightning talk will give you a glimpse – plus a few lessons learned the hard way.
