## Session title:
Bridge your IoT leaf devices to local clusters with ease using Akri and Dynamic Resource Allocation

### Description
Kubernetes on the edge is becoming increasingly popular for orchestrating workloads closer to where the data is located. However, the edge usually consists of leaf devices that are too small, too old, or too locked down to run Kubernetes on their own (i.e. IP cameras, environmental sensors, PLCs), and they may operate with intermittent availabilities and downtime. So how can we dynamically bridge these leaf devices to a cluster?

This talk will go over how even newcomers to Kubernetes can quickly connect their IoT leaf devices at the edge to their clusters using Akri's latest v1.0 release as well as discussing how the UX will further be improved through the use of the Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) API which is a new API that enables requesting and sharing resources between pods and containers inside a pod. At the end of the talk, we will demo the new API and other v1.0 features of Akri.

### Track
Networking + Edge + Telco

### Session format
Session Presentation

### Level
Intermediate

### Benefits to the ecosystem
Edge is a rapidly growing pool of new kubernetes users, and a key challenge of kubernetes at the edge, is connecting with all the devices that are deployed on the field.

This talk highlights the use of Akri with Dynamic Resource Allocation in order to both raise awareness around the possibilities given by Akri to discover these devices, as well as show how it becomes even simpler with the addition of DRA and other v1 features.
