Abstract

Bringing Kubernetes to RISC-V isn't just about cross-compiling Go - it's a crash course in open hardware meets cloud-native reality. This talk walks through the journey of bringing a FOSS Kubernetes distribution to RISC-V: wrestling with missing cloud infra, build tooling, container images, CI pipelines, and everything else they conveniently gloss over when they say you "just" need to export GOARCH=riscv64.
