With the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s KubeCon CloudNativeCon Europe 2022 last week in València, Spain, the Kubernetes world came roaring back to life after a lackluster conference in Los Angeles last fall – in spite of a rigorous conference-wide mask mandate.
The general feeling at the conference was that the Kubernetes ecosystem is reaching an inflection point. Work on the core Kubernetes platform itself is slowing, as it has reached a level of maturity – while rapid innovation continues unabated across the broader Kubernetes landscape.
This year it’s all about getting down to business, where the business of Kubernetes is running dynamic applications at scale. Many enterprises are touting massive Kubernetes deployments, while many others are somewhere on their cloud-native roadmap.
I experienced a bit of déjà vu, recalling a Linux conference I had attended a decade or so ago. The keynoter trumpeted the fact that against all odds, Linux had won over the enterprise. Kubernetes is well on its way to a similar victory.
