This is part of a series of daily posts on my experiences at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2019. You can read more about the conference and the series in <\/span><\/i>my Day 0 post<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

After a series of receptions yesterday evening and a well-attended RedMonk beers event, I woke up this morning looking forward to the first conference keynote and the slate of client and vendor meeting I on today\u2019s schedule. I also woke up hungry, because with all of the receptions and chatting, I forgot to have dinner last night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily my first meeting was a breakfast meeting with a client. As we all sat down at a lovely proper restaurant (a luxury, as most meetings are scheduled at coffee shops or hotel lobbies where everyone is fighting for space), it eventually came out that nobody at the table had a chance to get dinner last night; it was nice to see that I was not alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keynote Highlights<\/span><\/h1>\n

I was then off to the first keynote of the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon conference itse<\/span>lf. The keynote was largely comprised of foundation\/project updates as well as vendor-led talks. While <\/span>you will be able to watch the keynotes yourself once they are posted (sessions from past CNCF events <\/span>can be found here<\/span><\/a>), I offer the following social media perspectives on the morning keynote session.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Turns out 12,000 seats is… a lot.#kubecon<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Rp3TtOBYGo<\/a><\/p>\n
