For newcomers, stepping into the world of cloud native can feel overwhelming, with a maze of new concepts and technologies to grasp. According to the CNCF, cloud native is characterized by loosely coupled systems that interoperate in a manner that is secure, resilient, manageable, sustainable, and observable.

This session aims to break down these core concepts into simple, digestible pieces, helping participants understand what it truly means to be "cloud native."

Using relatable analogies and practical examples, we’ll explore the stages of the software development lifecycle, the fundamentals of cloud infrastructure, and an introduction to Kubernetes.

Whether you're brand new to cloud native or just seeking a clear way to explain your work to others—perhaps even your family—this session is designed for you!
