I had heard many good referrals about this conference, but for various reasons, I wasn’t able to participate until this year, and what better chance to celebrate 10 years of the cloud native foundation. I was expecting a huge event, full of open source projects and the most important tech organizations participating, and I was not disappointed; on the contrary, it exceeded my expectations in many ways, not only because I was able to learn the latest about the Kubernetes and CNCF projects, and able to hear from the very first what is coming, but also for the majestic welcoming from the community and organizers.
