Webinar: Monitoring Kubernetes Workloads: The Sidecar Pattern

Kubernetes has entirely changed the way we build our infrastructure, enabling organizations to ship more changes faster.

I mentioned this on Twitter and shortly thereafter Johnny Boursiquot wondered if I could speak. Of course I said yes. I was already doing a talk that morning at DevNationFederal. What’s another talk in the evening? I’d move heaven and earth for Johnny. His diversity and inclusion efforts are th enormous cherry on top of his substantial contributions to the Go community. ...
