Spring is finally around (or will be, when this event takes place)! We're celebrating with two great talks and a bigger venue, hoping to invite in as many of you as possible. We've seen a lot of interest in the events and are very happy to accommodate you all.

Talks

Our first talk by Tom Wieczorek, software engineer at Mirantis, will bridge the gap between Kubernetes and system administration by going into the details of how Kubernetes interfaces with the Linux kernel and low-level system configuration tools. Ever had an OS upgrade on your Kubernetes cluster go south? Then this is the talk for you! 

Many companies and individuals are using cloud native software today. But how to take the next step and start contributing to them? What is this "CNCF", anyway? Our second talk by Faseela K and Marvin Beckers, two of our chapter organisers, will provide a guided introduction to the cloud native landscape and how to start contributing to it, using Istio as an example of the many projects hosted by the CNCF.

Venue Information

Food and drinks will graciously be provided by our amazing hosts at INFORM. We are looking forward to meeting everyone in person again, see you in May.

Please be aware that at the location you will first need to drop by the welcome desk and pick up a personalised visitor badge. For that purpose, we REQUIRE attendees to register through this event page and will share attendee names with INFORM to prepare said visitor badges. No other personal information other than your name will be shared.

If you would like to attend but do not consent to your name being shared with the venue, please email us at meetups@cloudnative.ac. Please note that you will then have to directly share your information with the venue at the welcome desk anyway.
