What we’re about
Cloud Native Computing means to create and drive the adoption of a new computing paradigm that is optimized for modern distributed systems environments capable of scaling to tens of thousands of self healing multi-tenant nodes. We are committed to advancing the development of cloud native technology and services by creating a new set of common container technologies informed by technical merit and end user value, and inspired by Internet-scale computing.
There are many open source projects running under the umbrella of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation: Kubernetes, Prometheus, OpenTracing, Fluentd, Linkerd, gRPC, CoreDNS, Containerd, rkt
This meeting is open to everyone wanting to learn about these projects, both newbies and experts, committed to share their experiences and help others learn.

Frameworks are meant to be tweaked; that is just a part of being an engineer. Even if a new cloud native, open-source framework is exactly what you are attempting to build.
This talk tells the story of what Crossplane is and what we wanted it to be. It highlights the need for the emerging Crossplane V2 and explains why it differs. It also illustrates a real-life story when bending leads to breaking, resulting in the loss of 230 production databases for a customer during maintenance. The silver lining - we kept the customer, but changed our approach.Liene is a data scientist by training and a product owner at VSHN by passion, with experience spanning the highly regulated healthcare industry to the fluid open-source ecosystem.
