 All right, I think that might be our cue Hello, good morning Awesome morning everybody It is 3 30 a.m. For both I and Chris Very very good morning From us anyway, welcome. Thank you for coming. This is the inaugural the first cloud native Rusty so Born through tweet Formed by a lot of hard work by the program committee and the CNCF so So I'm gonna quickly sort of introduce the conference Why are we here? And and really just kickstart off To what I think will be a very very cool day. I'm looking forward to all the talks and It's gonna be awesome. So anyway, if you don't already, I'm super black man. I'm at heavy packets basically everywhere I work for critical section Which is a subsidiary of fair systems really focused on mission and safety critical Rust and making rust sort of, you know, the premier language for for some of those for those some of those projects And joined by Chris, do you want to introduce yourself? You are muted Already in the morning, but hey Chris anisek I have the fun job of serving as CTO of the cloud native computing foundation and sharing better Projects are healthy and well-supported. You know, I want to thanks to brief or kind of spearheading this idea given kind of the adoption of Rust and the CNCF ecosystem is now our second most popular Programming language for CNCF projects behind the obviously popular Golang. So excited to be here today So kicking it back to you Subri awesome. Yeah it's kind of The thing that Russ is the number two language in 2021 is kind of blowing my mind a little bit So but that kind of makes this the correct time I think to to to start a conference like this So Make this really brief Why are we here? I think, you know rust is quickly becoming a foundational language obviously for For cloud and a lot of internet infrastructure There are a lot of technical reasons for that You know safety their strong patterns performance energy efficiency The rest of the conference will cover that in depth. So I won't get into that here But while people discover rust because of those things they often stay for the community or they stay because Rust as a project is really focused on developer productivity And just developer health in general and making sure that the experience for anyone who has to work with Rust on a daily basis is a good one And so, you know, you have all of us come from diverse personal and professional backgrounds Yet we're really building a programming language to fulfill a pretty diverse set of needs So today We're kind of here talk about rust in the context of cloud in an internet infrastructure We'll see some more hardware focused source hardware centric Talks today some security centric talks today microservices and you know everything that sort of falls under the umbrella under of the CNC F And really to provide a rust centric context for the rest of coupon, which I hope everyone is also taking around to That's gonna be a lot of fun so My goal personally my personal goal at the end of the conference is that you will leave with enough information and enough context to Consider rust for your next project whether it's a tool Whether it's an application Whatever you're doing in the context of cloud To consider rust and hopefully this you know the next couple of hours will Provide you with some good context there if there is a workshop As well I don't know what time that starts not central time. So look at the schedule Later And that is you know, if you want a bit more in-depth sort of overview of rust in the context of cloud cloud native Definitely join up with that So I have so Finally, you know, thanks to the CNCF for putting on sponsoring this event Thanks to the rest of the program committee we're kind of spanned I think Literally across the world at this at this point You know representation from Europe, Canada of the US Africa all over the place, which is great And then of course to our sponsors That's all I have you have anything else Chris I just want to thank you, you know personally for helping kind of spearhead this idea and make this happen in time Cube con Europe, you know, this is truly about you know knowledge sharing of how rustling is used throughout the cloud native ecosystem I also want to thank the other program committee members like Anna, Isabelle, Daniel, Sonia Hughes and maybe someone else that I'm forgetting given the hour today But truly look forward to seeing everyone and sharing the knowledge about how rustling is used in the CNCF and cloud native ecosystem So thank you, Sabrina again. Yep last remark There is a quote of conduct. I would recommend you read over if you haven't already And if you have any issues technical issues Any kind of questions feel free to reach out on Slack There is a rust channel a cloud native rust a channel on Slack and you make sure it is the Yeah, so it is Number three dash cloud native dash rust today dash day, excuse me do a search for rust. It'll come up Please join that For just like long form communication. I think that'll be Opening around for at least a few weeks After the conference is done So that'll be a great place to sort of congregate ask cloud specific questions and stuff like that Yeah, so I have so thank you everybody and Let's have a great conference Thanks. I'll take care
