During the first half of the event, we focused on sharing the updates from KubeCon and ContainerNativeCon. The first session was from Krishna and Kumar in which they shared an overall update. Kumar attended the event a week before in Austin, so he shared his first-hand experience as well.

After that Dhilip and Irfan shared new features of Kubernetes 1.9. Towards the end of their session, we also discussed about Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam and the upcoming Kubernetes Application Developer exam. Post that Nikhita talked about her first KubeCon experience and CRDs.
In the second half of the event, we focused on the Kubernetes storage. In that, I shared details on Kubernetes Volume management.
After my session, Uma talked about Cloud-Native Storage and gave a demo of OpenEBS using StorageClasses, which I touched upon in an earlier session. The last session was from Karthik and Abhijit, who shared their first-hand experience to deploy Postgres in HA mode on Kubernetes.
Apart from the formal sessions, lots of interesting discussions happened during the break, post-event etc. There had been a lot of learning for all of us. Thanks to the Microfocus, meetup organizers, speakers and attendees to make this event a success.
We have also curated a list of presentations and videos from KubeCon and ContainerCon’17, which you can find here.
