“This was my first time at KubeCon, a conference dedicated to Kubernetes and other cloud native technologies. There were three times the number of attendees in Copenhagen as there had been last year in Berlin and it feels as though these technologies are ‘crossing the chasm’ to reach the early adopters.” – Sarah Wells, Technical Director for Operations and Reliability, Financial Times
