Kubecon Austin 2017

Lots of hackers in Texas

I was pretty happy when I found out the kubecon 2017 will be held in Austin, I'm currently living in San Antonio, so it was just a one hour or so driving

So during the 4 days of the conferences I noticed some trends...

  • Service Mesh - Istio
  • Development approach, Metaparticle is really interesting, we will see more of this soon
  • Community involvement
  • OpenShift, bringing enterprise features and security
  • Storage, there will be a storage driver pretty soon, attended some talks related, and really the community is pushing the limits a lot on this field and all that represents.
  • Prometheus, more exporters available, better performance
  • Startups, lots and lots of new startups emerging

There were some good talks other not really, but enjoyed the ones that shared experinces running kubernetes in production and some even shared some failures experiences, caused to be on the edge, with ugly bugs upstream or software versions, so it was very illustrative for me and really open my eyes on how Kubernetes is evolving, so better to get ready to pass the CKA soon.
