Deploying an application onto Kubernetes is challenging,
However, in the air gap several challenges become apparent as the services we are used to relying on are no longer there.
The OCI registry with the images, the Git repository with the manifests, and the tools running in the cluster applying these changes.
All of these services are running in the background, and required to make the delivery happen

Zarf tackles the application delivery process in the air gap by standardizing the application packaging, attestation, and deployment process.
This presentation highlights problems faced in the air gap everyday such as managing the application lifecycle of complex applications.
By the end you will have an understanding of Zarf and the core problems it solves.
