 So we did this thing. So here's the thing. We've been doing this event for two years now, right? When we first got started, actually, let me put this in historical context. So when we first got started, we knew KubeCon was going to be a big event. It was going to be like a thousand people. And Kubernetes or OpenShift was you know kind of gaining traction and we said we really we'd love a forum to talk about OpenShift because I know we're going to talk a Lot about Kubernetes and Diane had this idea and she said I have kind of a crazy idea I want to rent a room the day before and I'm going to charge people money And I'd like them to show up and we were like you're crazy Diane, but that's fine You have lots of crazy ideas. We'll let you do that and We so we charged folks like a hundred bucks or 60 bucks or I don't know what it was but it was something and you had to come the day before the event and We got a hundred people to show up, right? So I think the room was not much wider than this thing and it was real dark as you can see in the picture and The focus was really on It was a little bit of focus on customers You know we're not so much customers But like communities of people that were using it that happened to be customers But then we also had to have a reason to get people to show up And so we had to bring a bunch of really smart Kubernetes people, right? So In this picture for those of you that that don't know all of them starting from the left. That's That's Brandon Phillips. He was one of the co-founders and CTOs of CoroS. We liked his talk so much We acquired his company The gentleman next to him is Brandon Burns. He was one of the sort of three people that's He works for Microsoft now at the time he worked for you just like literally the day before had gone from Google to Microsoft was one of the original like three people that with Joe beta and Craig Mclucky that sort of started Kubernetes at Google The gentleman next to them who I'm sure we'll see this week is Kelsey Hightower Always gives demos sort of Kubernetes the hard way people should know him And then the guy on the right is Clayton Coleman and we all know he talks too much so Anyways, the reason I highlight this is We did this event and the focus of that event was we're going to talk about this super hard Complicated technology and Kubernetes was sort of front and center of that event, right? And it's pretty interesting that two years in we get the folks from Ticketmaster and they go I Don't want to care about Kubernetes, right? I don't want that to be the forefront of my my thought process Which is kind of cool because at the time we were like The forefront of your thought process needs to be Kubernetes like that should be what you're thinking like pods are interesting and all that sort of stuff now Of all the folks that are on there. We talked about Brandon. We acquired his company Brendan They run Kubernetes over at at Microsoft, but they decided that they enjoyed open shifts so much They want to do a managed service with us. So lots of closeness with him Clayton still works for Red Hat. So that's cool. And we couldn't get we could never get Kelsey to come work for us. We tried right, but we got this This was Kelsey's quote of the day You're gonna build your own platform if you're lucky you'll end up with something like open shift Probably doesn't love that we keep this quote laying around all the time But it's kind of a fun quote to have Because the market sort of proved out that you want to build this maybe easier to do with open shift now I point all this stuff out because we're back in Seattle and Fundamentally if you listen to today today was very little about open about Kubernetes, right? We started the day with Clayton and Derek and Mike going you should care less about Kubernetes We're gonna try and make it so you don't care that much about Kubernetes And what we want to highlight is all the stuff that comes to the forefront, right? What are customers doing with this? What are the use cases that people have with this? Mike Barrett who was up here as well who's kind of our lead product manager He has this thing he tells us all the time. He goes look folks. I know you're I know you're talking to companies I know you're building interesting technology. You made a PowerPoint slide. Just think it's cool The people that are putting their trust in open shift aren't betting on a technology They're betting on their company or they're betting their future on this stuff, right? So Do a good job, right? Build good code do a good job helping them listen really well And I think that's what we tried to make today about we tried to make it about bringing the stuff That's not kubernetes forward, right? How do we make it more interesting? You know I use this analogy all the time I think I looked at my delta thing. I did about 110 flights this year, which I'm not proud of but I did The airline I fly on uses open shift the credit card that I used to book all those flights uses open shift the hotel that I use Pretty much most of the time uses open shift the ride company that I use doesn't use open shift But they contributed back this really interesting technology the kubernetes community which eventually becomes into part of open shift This stuff becomes part of your day-to-day life, which is very cool Because it means you guys want to come help us with that we want to help you with that but more importantly Each one of you are helping each other right like two years ago Nobody in the customer section said like hey, let's talk about multi-tenancy. They were just like hey, we made something work Right this week. We literally had people go. We're interested in this if you would like to work with us on that come find me Right that wasn't them telling red hat that that was telling you if you're interested in multi-tenancy or security or Insurance use cases or whatever go work together on that stuff. That's how fast the stuff evolved, which is very cool Now I use this I use this slide a little bit I I I tend to be sort of the storyteller in the group So I started plotting out like where are our customers and what do they do and and this is interesting enough and it's You know, we're lucky enough to have customers all around the world But more importantly like Diane said we've had nine of these events and as you can see those those red Open shift logos aren't all over the world. So I'll have to offer you this if you enjoyed the event I hope you did. I hope you got something out of it And you would like one of these somewhere else Please let Diane know because these things are becoming more than just us telling you about our roadmap They're becoming about us getting communities of people together and in some cases. These are big broad horizontal things in other cases Like in Germany We have a bunch of the auto manufacturers and their supply chains and so forth who want to do these because they want to Go solve automotive specific issues, right? We have these in parts of the world where You know, it could be in Detroit and automotive. It could be in New York and financial It could be in Austin and talking about barbecue. It could be about whatever But we want to do these events more and more So if you're interested in things like this where you can talk about Communities of interest you can talk about the technology. Let us know we'd love to have them in other parts of the world Now We've been very lucky over the nine things that we've done in that While the Red Hatter's talk, we'd really love to get users to come up and talk as well And I highlight a few of these these are some of the companies that have spoken just at Open Openship Commons over the last nine sessions and I'll say this because We bug every single one of the people that come every one of our customers that come because we go We would love to hear your story and a lot of the people here would love to hear your story Now how many of you heard how everybody's story ended? We're hiring right every story. We're hiring So I'll leave this with you With this thing if you are a company that competes with anybody that's on this list or anybody who spoke today And you go hmm I'm not sure if our legal department's gonna let us do that I'll say this Everybody who's up here or that has spoken at Red Hat Summit or whatever They usually come and talk to us a year into their their process our year into their scab knees and things They've learned and done well or a year and a half or two years If you're seeing your competition up here, and you're like, well, I don't know if my legal department They're two years ahead of you in the I'm hiring department, right? They're a year ahead of you in the I'm hiring and if they're a year ahead of you in the I'm hiring or in the two Years ahead of you they may also be a year to two years ahead of you in the we have Technology that will take your customers So I don't say that in any sort of derogative way This is a great place to come tell your story and get people that may be interested in working for your type of company To come do it and you'll notice it's in every sort of industry in every part of the world Okay Real quick. Um, can I have a sip of your thing of whatever you have or Yeah, that's fine fine This my little this my little pitch I Think what you're gonna see this week is We've been we've been doing cube cons now for about three years Three or four years. We've lucky. We've been very lucky to be involved with kubernetes since almost the end of 2014 2015 And I think we're really doing what you're gonna see this week and what you're gonna see over the next couple of years It's really kubernetes is moving into sort of the third generation of of its of its evolution, right? The first generation was Google said we have some code. We all went well. You're really smart I'm sure that's cool. Sometimes you guys don't follow through on projects and there's really no governance, but it's cool Let's try and open source this thing and that was cool. That was fun. We were very lucky to be involved with that We tried to help bring that to the enterprise, right? The second generation of that was okay cool We did a few hello worlds and we made a few things work. Let's try and get more applications on here, right? We've made stateful sets and we made You know IOT work and we're starting to see serverless and others up The third generation of this which is what was just really beginning and I think you saw some of this all day today Is really going to be how do we make this so the thing drives itself? How do we make this so that the metric that you measure yourself with is not how good are we at kubernetes? But the kubernetes is good enough that it runs itself You know how to scale it the applications scale themselves and you can go to the business and say How fast do you want that? How quickly do you want to get from sort of idea? to iteration idea to execution and all that's going to be enabled by It being fully automated the operator stuff that we talked about it being able to run wherever you want to so you can take advantage of a Google ML Service that's out there and an azure service that's out there an AWS service an alibaba service or something you run internally But all that is really going to be what you'll see the next couple of days But also the next couple of years as well Now the other part of this That I think you'll see and as we've gone through this evolution the last couple years There was lots of approaches to get there Our approach our belief in the whole kind of open-shift communities approaches you're going to have a lot of challenges Your business is going to want to put a lot of different applications on top of this Building this all on top of kubernetes as opposed to Silo x for this set of applications silo y for a different set of applications is really going to be key as well Right, we've seen the community evolve around almost every single use case every single development pattern every single scaling thing Runs well on kubernetes, and that's what we've ultimately been trying to do is get multiple challenges whether it's about enabling developers It's about you know modernizing and integrating applications whether it's about end-to-end automation whether it's about a path from sort of Legacy to to modernization all that's going to run on kubernetes everything from bare metal to virtual multiple clouds Serverless all those types of things So I'm not going to talk too too much more. I'm like I said, I'm sort of a road bump. I hope you've been thinking about questions I'm going to leave you with two slides All right The first one is if you saw any of this stuff and you're sort of new to this and you want to play around that you're a You're somebody who likes to get your fingers dirty You want to go play with this go out to learn dot open shift comm right go out to try dot open shift comm as well It'll play with the force of a learn that opens your comm great set of learnings for basically Directed guidance training right so you want to give certification you want to play with new stuff Totally free totally browser based you don't have to have any toys to to mess with this If you enjoy learning through your ears, I do a podcast once a week. It's called pod CTL It's about mostly about kubernetes. We weave in some open shift stuff as well. It's kind of what's going on in the community and the last thing I'll leave you with and this really depends if you're more of a bird learner or you're more of a I guess a game of thrones kind of learner, but these are all basically free books that you can get right some of our developer focused Some of our operations focused Some of them are these are all written either by folks out of our our group or our folks in the field who do this all Day long so if you're a reader kind of learner, these are great resources as well Did I go too fast? We'll make all these slides available as well
