Show Notes:
Scott shares his thoughts on the KubeCon 2022 conference held in Detroit.
- Kubernetes adoption is faster than anyone imagined. It will become the standard for cloud deployed applications in the future.
- Kubernetes maturity is faster than expected. People are not just trying to figure out if they should do something, they are dealing with specific issues and need solutions. New vendors are stepping up to supply this.
- eBPF is gaining traction for monitoring and observability of cloud-native applications.. Cilium was making heads turn about using it to monitor resource utilization of pods running in a cluster.
