TGIK

In this episode

Come hang out with Kris Nova as she does a bit of hands on hacking of Kubernetes and related topics. Some of this will be Kris talking about the things she knows. Some of this will be Kris exploring something new with the audience. Come join the fun, ask questions, comment, and participate in the live chat!

This week we will be exploring Kris Nova’s project Kubicorn and discovering the future of cloud native infrastructure with the cluster API work going on in upstream kubernetes.
