10. May 2021

Welcome to another VSHN.timer! Every Monday, 5 links related to Kubernetes, OpenShift, CI / CD, and DevOps; all stuff coming out of our own chat system, making us think, laugh, or simply work better.

This week we’re going to talk about the most important news announced during last week’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2021 event. Couldn’t attend? No worries, we got you covered.

1. The Cloud Native community is focusing not only on technology, but also on the intersection of technology and society. For that reason, the main focus of the conference this year was diversity, security, and contributions.

2. Cloud Native technologies are shaping businesses in all areas. This year, an unprecedented 27 new members have joined the CNCF, among them Orange, Raytheon, Seagate, and even Citibank. Oh, and New Relic joined the governing board as a platinum member!
