Open Source Summit India 2026

In large Kubernetes clusters, scaling isn’t just about replicas — it’s about distribution efficiency.
When hundreds of pods start simultaneously, container image pulls can silently become your biggest bottleneck.

In this session, we’ll explore how Dragonfly (D7y) transforms traditional image pulling into a peer-to-peer, high-performance distribution system within Kubernetes.

We’ll break down:
Why image pull storms happen
How P2P distribution solves real scaling problems
Dragonfly architecture in Kubernetes
Live flow of how images propagate across nodes
Real-world performance improvements and use cases
This talk is for engineers who want their clusters to scale smarter — not slower.
Because Kubernetes is fast
but only if your images are too.
