👋🏼 Hey friends, I've compiled the key takeaways and insights from KubeCon Chicago. How was your KubeCon? I would love to know what were your takeaways from the event. TL;DR: This conference was very different from the previous KubeCon. Here is why: 1. Kubernetes has hit its “Linux moment”! The spotlight was less on new tools and more on how Kubernetes is being used to run mission-critical applications. 2. As open-source software becomes more prevalent, so does the complexity of its maintenance. 3. DevOps evolves into Platform Engineering – a balanced blend of people, culture, processes, and technology. 4. Teams struggle to discern real threats from a vast sea of false positives in security scanning. 5. Hiring, training, and retaining talent is becoming increasingly challenging. 6. Observability and incident management tools are essential but not sufficient. 7. Kubernetes meets AI, but GPU scarcity remains a challenge. 8. Mundane, repetitive operational tasks have become a norm - automation remains elusive. You can read the entire blog here: https://www.chkk.io/blog/kubernetes-enters-its-second-decade
