Hello NYC Kubernauts!

We’re cooking up something fun to bring in the Summer months. Join us for a day-time hackathon, capped off by a roof-top social.

Looking to learn new tech, but haven’t had the time? Want to tryout the latest Kubernetes features? Not sure what these new container tools are?

We’ll be running a hackathon themed around learning new things and the idea of “moving from Monoliths to Microservices.” At the start of the event, you’ll be provided with demonstrations of some of the latest and greatest options out there. Build a multi-cloud cluster on Istio; Experiment with modern, container-native monitoring; And, learn lessons on how to get the most out of your cloud-provider’s options.

Are you interested in running a quick demo? Any container-native tech is a great idea. Beginner’s and Expert’s are both encouraged to submit demo ideas here: https://goo.gl/forms/RaoYMClioVUgeSJt1

If you can't make it to the hackathon, we hope you'll join us for the roof-top social, RSVP here : https://www.meetup.com/New-York-Kubernetes-Meetup/events/261114798
