#71 Seven-Day DevOps -- KubeCon Special

Anais Urlichs -

Hello beautiful people,

how are you all doing? I hope you are having a great start to the week & if you are at KubeCon – ENJOY! I am a little bit jelly 👉👈

However, if you are not at KubeCon, you can still sign up to the virtual event (it's just $75).

In this week's newsletter, I will share the highlights of talks that I am excited for. What are some of the talks that you don't want to miss? Let me know.

Note that I only selected those talks that are during my afternoon & evening (I like going to bed early). There are obviously soo many amazing talks that the only valid thing is to wait for the recordings to be released 🙌
