 Good morning Detroit. I'm excited to be here and quite honestly, I'm Humbling to be going after such a talk So thank you for having me and having the time and listening to me I'm with cast in by beam and we focus on community data protection back up and disaster recovery and I'm especially accepted as coupon because we talking about building for the road ahead as of last year We've had five point six million Developer globally who use Kubernetes and that number grew from three point nine million from the year before That is quite some growth having one point seven million new folks joining us in one year and as we are probably familiar with Clownity technology in general and created specifically might not be the most beginner friendly topic out there So it's important for us as a community to continue To lend a helping hand and continue to build bridges into our world through open learning tools and platform Personally, I came from the other industry. I used to work as an a better software engineer right here in Detroit and Last year I crossed the bridge myself to enter the current a community and at that point Whoo, I knew nothing about cool ready. I knew nothing about content and technology. I didn't know network transport I didn't know Golan So really I enter a world where I didn't know what I didn't know and Now I'm at the point where I'm operational and I can navigate myself into new topic For example, I recently got to work with different identity provider learning about authentication and authorization Which been really fun for me But my journey does not stop here. Not at all as you have so much to learn which I'm really excited about and The journey hasn't been exactly easy either In fact, it's been quite overwhelming and that is because they're just so many different learning material there on the one hand It's incredible to have this amount of material at your hand when you join a new community On the other hand though when you're new like me and you look at this vast amount of material One of them wonder. I mean, where do we have been start? So as a result, I rely pretty heavily on the free and begin a friendly resources out there to bring myself up to speed And I've also realized that I want to work for me on Gaging had great quality and a fun to go through So as an appreciation for the sites and creator out there who had helped me in the past I'd like to give a personal shout-out to the community book series to coop Academy and to take one with Nana and Among the free resources that I enjoy using one of them is actually homegrown a free site called learning our custom that IO It was introduced last year During cook on any 2021 as an initiative to address the need of having more career training across all skill level and The site had many different modality to learn from but like to focus today on one particular feature that I really like the hands-on lab First of all the laughs are engaging I learned best with having a mix of theory of context and hands-on exercises and the lap They live with just that they essentially a sandbox where I get to work with viewer example using actual cluster without having to set them up and The laugh has great quality even though that meant to be beginner friendly as you get to learn a wide variety of topics ranging from completely beginning to professional level and The laughs are continuous release as well to add more and more topic like storage or advocate for consistency and Last but not least they're pretty fun to go through the laughs are gamified So every lab a complete come with digital badges that can share with social media there's also a wall of fame for me to showcase my progress is and They are pretty short which allow for incremental learning which was great for me and When the lab sorry when the site was introduced last year It was said to be created for the community by the community with expert coming in to co-create labs And that's doing true today with laps featuring project from the community like Grafana or Prometheus or relevant blog posts like how to use mini cube So leveraging the success for his first year the site is entering his next chapter the Engaging the high quality and the fun material are still there But we are continuing commitment to the community but completely transforming the site to cube campus.io We're also taking a community involvement in the next level by opening it up a site to a learning partner So together we can create an even bigger ecosystem of learning material So please join me and together we can continue to build bridges into our world and Help folks who are on the learning journey just like me and that is all I have today Thank you so much for your time and enjoy kuban. Thank you
