Calling all Platform Engineers! Learn from experts how to: Build the Ultimate Internal Developer Platform @ KubeCrash.io

I'm super excited to co-host KubeCrash.io again. This time around we crowdsourced the hottest topics and YOU chose our theme: Platform Engineering: Building the Ultimate Internal Developer Platform. We have end user keynotes by Spotify and NatWest, a panel with speakers from Vonage (Ericsson), Boeing, Shutterstock, Adobe, and lots of amazing deep technical sessions, including community members from the CNCF Deaf & Hard of Hearing Working Group.

See the full agenda here!

I'm particularly looking forward to a discussion on the Essential Keys for Navigating the Path to Platform Engineering Excellence with Charity Majors of Honeycomb, and members from SAP, Syntasso, KubeShop, and SUSE!

And, just like last time, we'll donate $1 for each registration to Deaf Kids Code.

Register today at KubeCrash.io.

KubeCrash is virtual, free, and focused on open source! 

And it's THIS WEDNESDAY!
