Abstracts

Tom Tom talk:

TomTom's engineering teams want to benefit from using Kubernetes but do not always have the knowledge or resources to manage their own infrastructure. The platform engineering organization at TomTom offers a managed, multitenant Kubernetes environment to other teams. How did we solve this problem while providing a great developer experience?

Ambient talk:

Everybody wants the atomic power a service mesh provides but how do we harness it safely? Maintaining a service mesh shouldn’t feel like armageddon for infrastructure owners. Sidecars are great but can feel radioactive to application teams. Is there a cheaper, cleaner, safer way?

Important notes:

Please inform us on any allergies or dietary restrictions so we can ensure everyone enjoys the food.

Keep your RSVP up to date, we're counting on you to be there and share in the excitement.

Your host for the evening is William Rizzo. We strictly adhere to the CNCF Events Code of Conduct
