Kubecon Retrospective

Klaus and I go through what happened at the Kubecon North America event in Detroit. Specifically, lessons learned in watching how the community reacts to new technologies like CRDs, declarative programming, and cluster APIs.

We also discuss the health of the community and the operators and vendors who were involved.

We give our impressions and insight – this conversation deep dives into practical use and futures in Kubernetes.

Rob’s Hot Take:


In the November 1st DevOps Lunch and Learn, Rob Hirschfeld reflects on the Kubernetes KubeCon retrospective, highlighting the profound impact beyond a platform. The adoption of Custom Resource Definitions (CRD), operators, declarative programming, and GitOps represents a fundamental architectural shift, transforming how applications are built and architected. This shift, witnessed in cloud-native Federation and architectures, marks a significant departure in thinking and process, redefining how systems are addressed and services are communicated. The podcast encourages a broader understanding of the trend, inviting listeners to explore these transformative concepts and join the ongoing discussions at the2030.cloud.

What We’re Watching At Kubecon

How do Helm charts and operators interact with Kubernetes? Today we have a fascinating discussion about the interesting components of Kubernetes including Helm charts, admission controllers and things that are changing and being revised and updated.

We discuss potential topics in anticipation for Kubecon, and if you’re at all interested in Kubernetes, whether you’re attending the conference or not, you will find this to be a must follow list of topics related to Kubernetes.
