// Ivan Pedrazas - Kubernetes, GitOps, Whatever
This talk tries to explain why the industry has adopted Kubernetes and how come GitOps is gaining so much velocity. This talk is about Application lifecycle and business value. It is less about the How to do, and more about understanding what is Kubernetes, what's the value and why the speedy adoption. We will see how CI and CD are evolving and what to expect in the near future when adopting patterns like GitOps. This is a good talk to get a clear understanding of what is Kubernetes. Not very technical, but very insightful.
