Unfortunately, I missed KubeCon and CloudNativeCon conference in Copenhagen last week and a chance to meet all great people. I guess I will have to wait for another one. Luckily all presentations are online, so I will be able to catch up. Kubernetes is the important part of Cloud Native Computing and as Aparna Sinha mentioned Kubernetes is second to Linux in the number of PRs and issues. Those are the big numbers and I'm happy to be part of this story.

Wow, this will take some time, like watching the whole 10 seasons of Friends. A lot of videos from the @CloudNativeFdn conference last week https://t.co/iWx54rEBmm — Alen Komljen (@alenkomljen) May 7, 2018

10 Must Watch Presentations

I probably missed a lot of presentations because the playlist provided by CNCF is huge, but here are my favorites:

The Future

Service mesh is still a big thing. If you check for presentations you will see a lot of Istio talk. Also, Monzo shared their experiences in production with Linkerd.

You could learn a few things about Serverless. It is not about running without servers, of course, but more on running event-driven applications. Great talk by Kelsey Hightower and Austen Collins about this topic!

DigitalOcean added Kubernetes in their portifolio and it is a big thing. More and more cloud providers are adding Kubernetes managed clusters. This will continue in 2018.

If you watched some presentations carefully you could notice that there is a lot of talk about Kubernetes Cluster API. This will change how we deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters. Tools like kops will probably switch to Kubernetes Cluster API at some point.

There was a lot of noise around new project from Google, gVisor. Think of gVisor like a microkernel running in userspace without privileged access and full isolation.

Enterprises are going with Kubernetes, that is a fact.

And, it is hard to find the better ending of one important conference than this
