Kubernetes has quickly become the de facto open-source system for orchestrating, automating, deploying, and managing containerized applications. We’re diving deep into this technology with a new day of warts-and-all talks to share best practices and real-world lessons learned for deploying and maintaining applications using Kubernetes. If you’re passionate about using Kubernetes and related tools to optimize your system infrastructure and build modern systems, you won’t want to miss this day.

Attendance is open to all registered Velocity attendees, including Pavilion Plus pass holders.

 Location: Sutton Center Level: Intermediate
Brendan Burns (Microsoft)
Average rating: *****
(5.00, 1 rating)
Developer and operator personas are often viewed as separate, but the truth on the ground is actually far more mixed. Developers often operate their own software, and operators often explore software to find and fix bugs. Brendan Burns covers this overlap, explaining how to build tooling and approaches that enable developers and operators to quickly switch or blend between the personas. Read more.
