Many people attending KubeCon have spent years on both Cloud Native and Kubernetes - growing in their technical knowledge alongside the development of these concepts and technologies.
But, there are others for whom that isn’t the case. There are those who are just starting out their careers. And there are others who pivoted from industries that used older methods, tools, and technologies, which is the case for one of the presenters.
This talk aims to take those very people through what it’s like to dive head-first into Kubernetes and Cloud-Native in the modern day through the eyes of an engineer who did exactly that just recently – learning it in its mature form instead of iteratively along with it. It discusses the challenges and pitfalls that can be overcome or avoided.
Additionally, it discusses what’s changed in those years that has made things easier, from the alternate perspective of an engineer who has been using Kubernetes for many years.
