the value of GitLab and Platforms

Paul invites you to recall those early days of the web, when folks would FTP somewhere and upload a few HTML files. Simple and easy. Now? Engineers have to consider serverless, Kubernetes, and the morass of containers. This talk is a collection of lessons Paul has picked up as his team built a modern cloud native platform at NetApp. Is a container registry essential? Can a cluster be run without a service mesh? Paul answers these questions, and simplify the CNCF landscape as he does so.

Dive into how ideas like serverless and containers are less like oil and water, and more like peanut butter and chocolate. Paul will highlight reasons why the landscape is often confusing and suggest ways accidental complexity can be identified to eliminate confusion in projects.
