Afternoon Tea : Reflecting on the CoreOS Legacy

Hello NYC Kubernauts!

You're cordially invited to afternoon tea. We hope you'll join us as we sit sit with Andrew Randall of Kinvolk (formerly of Tigera) to reflect on the CoreOS legacy.

Andy will provide an update on Kinvolk’s two flagship open source projects, Flatcar Linux (its “friendly fork” of CoreOS Container Linux) and Lokomotive, a 100% open source Kubernetes distro, with a heritage derived from CoreOS Tectonic. He will cover what’s new in recent releases, where the projects are headed, and how they fit into a broader vision of enabling a truly enterprise-grade open source cloud native platform. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a demo, including a sneak preview of some new (work in progress) Lokomotive features.

SPONSORED: Thanks to NetApp for the ongoing support in sponsoring and hosting this event!

Space is limited, so RSVP early. We hope to see you there!
