 Hello, okay Hi, everyone. Good morning. Welcome to KnativeCon. I think it's just today, right? Anyway My name is Yi. I am a what's the title so long senior product line manager at VMR And I work most closely with Tanzu community edition now as someone working on a thing that has community in the name I am here to say a few words about why VMR Sports can native and other cloud native open source projects, too So a few more it's very important for us to always keep in mind that users We need to keep in mind that it's important and we need to provide agency so that users can basically do whatever they want however they want whenever they want and In order to achieve that We like to approach every problem from a multi-cloud open source first mindset and It's a lot of buzzwords, but what it really means is as a user you should be able to do whatever you want However you want so, you know, there's words like lock-in and a bunch of stuff. So that kind of stuff We like people to have as much flexibility as possible now Knative is a critical element in the modern application management tool chain and It's an important part in the in the collective sets of Projects and products and services that really make this whole thing that we're doing here not not just Knative con But this whole event the whole week From my users from my user perspective There's a set of things that make this whole thing worth doing and Knative is definitely a part of that So here I say March the previous presenter said February I'm gonna assume she's right So in March Knative moved to become a part of the CNCF it became an incubating project It's a milestone. We actively support and we are very very much appreciative of But I don't really not here really to talk about VMware. I'm Really here to address you and by you I mean contributors however way you contribute users People who are answering all the questions and just as importantly everyone who's asking all the questions What I want to say to you is Knative not only provides a very interesting solution to a practical technical problem but It really pushes people to think differently about The way that the solution to this problem comes about so we could talk about running workloads and all the technical bits but what I really want to focus on is that Knative is special for the simplicity and the elegance with which it provides the solution that it does and In this environment that is so full of everything all the time where everything is changing so much where we have people whose job Whose full-time job is to keep up with things and still there's more stuff going on than it's possible to keep up with in This environment the simplicity and elegance with which this community has provided answers to all of those questions It's especially important and it's really appreciated. So really to sum it up all this rambling in one slide What I really want to say is Knative community contributors users everyone providing answers and everyone asking questions what I really want to say to you is Thank you We're doing a great thing
