# Title: A Smart Home with no Cloud(s) ## Description Smart Homes devices make life easier and more fun! A “good morning” voice command fills the house with daylight, by opening all roller shutters, starts playing your favourite music and starts brewing your coffee A “bye bye house” does everything you need to leave: close roller shutters, turn off music, heater, lights. …but any cloud-controlled smart home device is also a vulnerability waiting to be exploited: poor security practices by vendors, lack of security patches for new vulnerabilities, difficult firmware update processes. At the same time, bad actors badly need control over more and more IP addresses for their Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks... Your smart home devices are an easy / enticing target! In this talk, we will examine how removing the “Cloud” improves not only security, but also performance and reliability. And, for the cherry on top: your family’s data is your own, not your device vendors’ ! ## How will your presentation benefit the ecosystem? In today's cloud-connected world, we need to recognise there are also practical, everyday cases for edge computing. Most smart home applications don't necessarily need to be accessible from the internet. At the very least, opening up your home to the internet should be an **option, not a requirement**, as it is today with most smart home devices requiring cloud connectivity. In this talk we will explore how running Kubernetes at home not only offers this option, but also provides a level of reliability that consumer-grade products are expected to have - yet most software is usually lacking... In today's cloud-connected world, we need to recognise there are also practical, everyday cases for edge computing.
