Hello NYC Kubernauts! We're back! For February, we're taking an edifying journey over to the offices of Codecademy. They're are located in SoHo by Broadway-Lafayette St Subway Station, so this should be a great event AND it's easily accessible. This month, Jacob Smith from Packet will share the vision on an interconnection oriented architecture tied to their recent acquisition by Equinix. He’ll also cover their early work on the Kubernetes community and why they opted against a managed Kubernetes offering Then, Scott Rigby will preview his Kubecon Amsterdam talk on Helm 3. We'll dive beyond the removal of Tiller and dig into the improved usability, new features and the architectures which support them.
