[0.10 --> 6.66] I'm your host, Gerhard Lazu, and you're listening to Ship It, a podcast about code, ops, infrastructure,
[6.88 --> 8.52] and the people that make it happen.
[8.90 --> 15.20] Yes, we focus on people and what they do when their best ideas meet the real world.
[15.74 --> 16.02] Why?
[16.34 --> 20.46] Because that's the only long-term game that is worth playing.
[20.86 --> 26.34] This is my second and last set of interviews from KubeCon, Cloud Native Con North America
[26.34 --> 27.00] 2021.
[27.00 --> 31.08] In this series, I speak with Liz Rice, and it's true.
[31.70 --> 33.32] EBPF gives you superpowers.
[33.80 --> 38.24] We covered Zillium with Hubble, what's it like to work with Duffy Cooley, and Zillium
[38.24 --> 39.96] reaching incubating status.
[40.44 --> 45.52] Speaking of which, Crossplane was another project that reached the same status, and Gerhard
[45.52 --> 47.14] Watts shared the story behind it.
[47.50 --> 51.86] We are also joined by Dan Mangum, who tells us what it was like to be at this KubeCon in
[51.86 --> 54.54] person, as well as his new COO role.
[54.54 --> 57.34] And by that, I mean ClickOps officer.
[57.82 --> 63.20] David Ansari from VMware speaks about his first KubeCon experience both as an attendee and
[63.20 --> 63.78] as a speaker.
[64.34 --> 68.76] The RabbitMQ deep dive talk that he gave will be a nice surprise if you watch it.
