Bringing Distributed Compute & AI to the Edge w/ David Aronchick (CEO of Expanso)

In this episode of the Joe Reis Show, I sit down with David Aronchick, co-founder of Expanso and one of the early pioneers behind Kubernetes, Kubeflow, and the CNCF. We dive deep into the evolving data landscape and discuss why the architectural pendulum is swinging back from pure cloud centralization toward distributed edge compute. David breaks down the real operational nightmares of edge data collection, why treating your bronze tier as a "toxic waste dump" breaks downstream pipelines, and how applying schema and context upstream makes your data truly AI-ready. We also get into the critical need for data provenance, data bills of materials, and what agents actually need to communicate reliably.Website: https://expanso.io
