SHOW NOTES:
10,000 ATTENDEES, 58% OF THEM ARE NEW TO CNCF
- Thank you to the CNCF for the Media pass to the event.
- 10,000 people in attendance. Lots of energy.
- Showers in Europe - why?
THERE’S SOMETHING FOR (MOSTLY EVERYBODY). EVERYBODY WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT ON THE SHOW.
- Kubernetes is mainstream for this audience. Now they are dealing with next-gen challenges beyond Kubernetes.
- Lots of Observability usage (and vendors)
- Lots of cloud cost-management (vendors), and talk that cloud providers would start pushing that message in 2023.
- Service mesh drew a lot of interest. Between Ambient Mesh, Ciliium Mesh and Linkerd
- Large European customers seem to be slightly behind the rest of the world in terms of adoption, but they were eager to engage at this point in time.
- Data sovereignty (local countries) is a big concern in Europe, so it was interesting to hear how companies are dealing with those regulations.
- This is a strange show to get a sense from developers. WASM seems to be going through its Java phases.
