Kubernetes at the Edge • Charles Humble & Hannah Foxwell • GOTO 2026

Charles Humble discusses his e-book "Kubernetes at the Edge," exploring the definition of edge computing, its practical applications in industries like agriculture and healthcare, vendor selection strategies, and the critical importance of Day-2 operations. The conversation also delves into how edge computing promotes sustainability and concludes with a thoughtful examination of the tech industry's ethical responsibilities in the age of generative AI.

Efficient Secure Aggregation for Federated Learning

Varun Madathil from Yale University presents Tacita, a novel, single-server protocol for secure aggregation in Federated Learning (FL). Tacita is designed to address the unique constraints of the FL environment, such as client dropouts and the absence of client-to-client communication. The protocol achieves one-shot execution with constant-size communication and robustness against dropouts by introducing two new cryptographic primitives: succinct multi-key linearly homomorphic threshold signatures (MKLHTS) and a homomorphic variant of Silent Threshold Encryption.
