Security has, is, and will be an omnipresent concern for large enterprises and tiny firms alike. Dealing with security is making a conscious decision of giving up one thing, to obtain another. The real question lies in how much you're willing to give up.

Disconnecting your entire operation from the all-seeing network sounds like the best move for security. No risk, if nothing can get access, right? Although possible, air-gapping your clusters opens the room for a lot of frustration. Not only are the hostiles derailed, but even critical locations akin to essential registries are closed off from your clusters.

This talk explores the practicality of running air-gapped Kubernetes clusters for business-critical applications. We will help you find out if air-gapping is right for you, or if it's an unnecessary burden. We'll be diving into some user stories as well, that will either sell you or dissuade you from the idea of air-gapping your infrastructure.
