Keynote: End Users: Leaders of the Cloud Native Maturity - Katie Gamanji, Ecosystem Advocate, Cloud Native Computing Foundation
A
Hello
los
angeles
and
welcome
to
the
first
hybrid
kubecon
and
cloud
nativecon
north
america,
I'm
katie
gomanji.
The
ecosystem
advocate
at
cncf,
I'm
currently
leading
the
end
user
community
and
my
mission
is
to
make
end
users
successful,
while
bridging
the
gap
between
adopters
and
projects
within
the
ecosystem.
A
A
Last
year
I
transitioned
into
a
role
that
allowed
me
to
work
closely
with
end
user
community
and
celebrate
the
lasting
impact
they
have
on
the
growth
of
the
ecosystem.
Today,
I
would
like
to
share
their
achievements
with
you.
The
end
user
community
has
more
than
155
members
that
use
cloud
native
to
release
their
products,
including
some
of
the
most
innovative
and
disruptive
startups
to
well-renowned
enterprises.
A
One
of
the
latest
end
users
that
joins
cncf
is
niantic
with
a
mission
to
build
the
state
of
the
art
for
augmented
reality
platforms.
They
bring
the
magic
around
you
with
cloud
native
through
mobile
games
such
as
harry
potter,
wizard
unite
and
pokemon
go
our
latest
fintech
end
user
is
robin
hood,
which
pioneers
commission-free
trades
of
stock.
A
A
A
The
first
time
I
interacted
with
a
linux
terminal
was
during
the
network
fundamentals
class
in
my
first
year
at
university.
The
moment
I
saw
that
purple
colored
box
with
mono's
faced
characters.
I
fought
wow.
So
now
I
am
a
real
computer
scientist
as
a
child.
I
used
to
see
these
terminals
in
movies
and
they
were
used
by
the
smartest
engineers
to
magically
save
the
day.
A
Of
course,
I
immediately
associated
with
them,
even
if
all
I
did
was
navigate
directories
back
and
forth.
We
used
ubuntu
by
the
way
this
year
marks
linux's
30th
anniversary.
It
is
a
tremendous
accomplishment
for
the
open
source
community,
as
linux
had
a
massive
influence
not
only
on
the
evolution
of
operating
systems,
but
on
the
wider
technology
landscape
by
laying
the
foundations
of
how
to
commit
to
upstream
and
collaborate
openly,
linux
enabled
technologies
to
focus
on
feature
development,
while
operating
in
a
governed,
transparent
and
highly
collaborative
environment.
A
A
Kubecon
and
cloudnativecon
is
the
place
to
connect
with
these
end
users
and
explore
their
use
case
over
the
next
couple
of
days.
You
can
attend
one
of
the
38
talks
delivered
by
end
user
companies
such
as
tesla
uber
skyscanner
into
it,
and
many
more
also
don't
miss
the
insightful
end-user
keynote
delivered
by
expedia.
A
Looking
back,
I
do
remember
attending
conferences
two
or
three
years
ago,
and
the
majority
of
keynotes
were
focused
on
the
crossing
the
chasm
stage
crossing.
This
gap
is
of
utmost
importance
to
achieve
a
balanced
adopter
base,
while
providing
an
innovative
but
stable
solution
to
the
entire
industry.
A
A
A
This
is
the
case
for
our
cncf
end
users,
for
example,
elkhope
the
largest
electronics
retail.
In
the
nordics
reduced
its
infrastructure
hosting
costs
by
80
percent
using
link
rd
while
fidelity
investment,
one
of
the
largest
financial
services
achieve
20
times
more
frequent
releases,
the
late
adopters
effect
can
be
observed
within
the
end
user
community
as
well.
The
industry
community
provides
a
vendor
neutral
space
for
organizations
to
share
their
accomplishments
and
challenges
cross-check
innovation
strategies,
while
seeking
and
providing
guidance
for
emerging
technologies
over
time.
A
A
Establishing
the
maturity
level
is
not
just
a
technology
journey,
but
one
which
is
influenced
by
four
major
areas,
such
as
people,
project
policy
and
technology,
make
sure
to
check
their
work
on
github
and
find
guidelines
on
how
to
get
involved
and
contribute
as
a
special
surprise
for
the
community.
The
group
produced
a
children's
book.
A
A
A
In
june,
we
released
the
multi-cluster
management
tech
radar,
featuring
tools
such
as
cluster
api
terraform
and
cops.
This
edition
of
the
techradar
had
an
additional
graph
showcasing
widely
used
core
services
installed
during
the
bootstrapping
process,
such
as
helm,
operators
and
customize
make
sure
to
check

A
A
This
year,
the
community
feedback
revealed
the
need
for
a
more
beginner-friendly
and
inclusive
evaluation.
Our
current
training
programs
are
aimed
at
professionals
with
hands-on
experience.
However,
there
is
a
need
for
education
that
is
also
relevant
for
beginners
across
different
jobs
from
engineers
to
project
managers
to
marketing.
A
In
the
past
months,
I
have
led
the
creation
of
a
new
certification,
and
I
am
delighted
to
welcome
kcna
or
kubernetes
and
cloud
native
associate
exam
to
the
cncf
collection.
This
is
a
multiple
choice:
entry-level
certification
that
grants
novice
adopters
the
ability
to
demonstrate
their
skills
and
knowledge
of
cloud
native
ecosystem.
A
A
I
cannot
wait
to
see
how
kcna
will
impact
the
student
community
and
everyone
new
to
cloud
native
now
when
I
joined
my
first
kipcon
in
seattle,
I
could
not
even
imagine
how
extensive
an
overarching
cloud
native
would
become.
Since
then.
I
have
met
and
collaborated
with
many
incredible
individuals
and
organizations
from
all
around
the
world,
but
my
cloud
native
story
started
a
bit
earlier
before
my
flight
to
seattle.
A
It
all
began
with
me
applying
for
the
diversity
and
inclusion
scholarship
that
was
the
checkpoint.
That
made
the
difference
in
my
career
and
inspired
me
to
make
the
cloud
native
ubiquitous
as
such.
I
would
like
to
encourage
everyone
to
continue
building
a
diverse
community,
also,
if
you'd
like
to
take
charge
of
your
inducer
journey,
