Cloud Foundry for web apps. More than just a web app? Docker is the answer. Sorry, wait…Kubernetes so you can get a zillion control knobs when you need them. Well, not really. You should break things up even more and use functions or serverless.

Seriously? Aren’t they all just running containers? So why should you be forced to choose between the ease of use of Cloud Foundry, the features of Kubernetes, or the flexibility of serverless?

You shouldn’t, and that’s where Knative comes in. Doug Davis explains how you get all worlds with Knative from a feature perspective but with the promise you’ve been given of a higher-level abstraction that keeps you from having to become IT experts, so your devs can actually get back to being devs. You’ll explore and see demos of the latest features from the community.

This session is sponsored by IBM.
