Am airplane is am extremely complex interconnected set of systems. Monitoring, security policies, restarts, and zero downtime deployments are pretty sensible reasons to use kube.

Also, they can take any kube deployed code from a 3rd party and instantly run it at edge on the jet with nearly no security concerns (aside from cpu exploits).

Kube is just fancy systemd.

I'm guessing this deployed on a secondary computer, not on any flight-critical computers; no way it would have passed airworthiness otherwise (even in a demo). As a result, the worst that could probably happen would be the pilot having to power-cycle the secondary computer.

My thoughts too. “What could possibly go wrong?”
