Hello Los Angeles Kubernauts!

We are excited to invite you to join us at Disney this month. We are going to dig into two interesting topics.

First we’ll hear from Madhuri Yechuri from Elotl. She will discuss why nodeless is valuable in Kubernetes deployments on public clouds. She will walk us through two ways of turning a Kubernetes cluster nodeless - virtual-kubelet over {Fargate, ACI}, and kubelet over Kiyot. There will be a demo!

Then, Taylor Dolezal of Disney will share some of his experience with open-source software, especially related to the K8s release process. Taylor was involved in the v1.14 and v1.15 releases, and is working on the upcoming v1.16 release. He will discuss his role as the communications lead, coming up as a shadow, and how you can get involved.
