TL; DR:<\/strong> Momentum is increasing\u00a0around Cloud Native, but beyond the natives people are finding the plethora of choice\u00a0confusing.<\/p>\n

We had the opportunity to attend Cloud Native Con\/KubeCon in Berlin last month. The buzz and momentum around cloud native technologies of all varieties and hues continues to grow.<\/p>\n

A growing number of traditional enterprises are experimenting with, and deploying, Cloud Native technologies, particularly for green-field projects. Kubernetes is present in a substantial number of these enterprises, as are other technologies derived from projects hosted with the Cloud Native Compute Foundation. The foundation is establishing itself as the home for many core technologies in the cloud native space. Solid roots are being sown.<\/p>\n

Lots of interesting things about #kubecon<\/a>, but I'm estimating a 95% male attendance, and that is really, really depressing..<\/p>\n
