THERE’S SOMETHING FOR (MOSTLY EVERYBODY). EVERYBODY WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT ON THE SHOW.

Kubernetes is mainstream for this audience. Now they are dealing with next-gen challenges beyond Kubernetes.
Lots of Observability usage (and vendors)
Lots of cloud cost-management (vendors), and talk that cloud providers would start pushing that message in 2023.
Service mesh drew a lot of interest. Between Ambient Mesh, Ciliium Mesh and Linkerd
Large European customers seem to be slightly behind the rest of the world in terms of adoption, but they were eager to engage at this point in time.
Data sovereignty (local countries) is a big concern in Europe, so it was interesting to hear how companies are dealing with those regulations.
This is a strange show to get a sense from developers. WASM seems to be going through its Java phases.
