Taking time out of her world tour Katie Gamanji returns to GDG Reading with a new talk. We also have Pradeep Bhadani who will presenting a talk on using Terraform and GCP. So please join us for an evening focusing on Cloud Technologies at the Curious Lounge in Reading.

Title: Interoperability of open-source tools: the emergence of interfaces
Abstract:
"In the past years, Kubernetes has been the nucleus of container orchestration frameworks. Numerous tools have been developed to extend Kubernetes capabilities and enhance its features. Over time, tools with similar functionalities would have fundamentally different implementations and practices to converge with the Kubernetes components. The emergence of shared standards and a set of best practices became imperative.
This talk will focus on the evolution of interfaces within the Kubernetes landscape, including networking, storage, service mesh and cluster provisioning. Attendees will acquire an understanding of why the interoperability of open-source tools is pivotal in the modern infrastructure."
