Beyond ImagePullBackOff: A Stateless, Secret-less Distributed Registry for Edge
2026-02-13 , VYAS - G - Room#VY016

We have all seen it. Your GitOps tool reports Synced in seconds, but your edge node pods are stuck in ContainerCreating/ImagePullBackOff for minutes... hours. This is not just a low bandwidth problem. it is a fundamental design flaw. We are trying to apply a centralized, cloud-native architecture to a decentralized, distributed-systems problem.

This leads to slow startups, failed updates even worse pullSecrets on every node create a massive security risk. In this session with Harbor Satellite (subproject of goharbor) we will run a stateless distributed registry along with your container workloads
