So thank you to buoyant sponsor of Lankerty day All right, we've got only a couple hours in this event And we have an incredible selection of talks Flynn and many of the other folks in our audience were on the program committee We had some amazing submissions and it was very hard to fit in we didn't manage to fit in everything that we wanted But we're gonna start off with zero cost Lankerty at Adidas We're gonna move on after a little coffee break. We're gonna move on to cost-efficient multi-cluster monitoring We're gonna learn how Lankerty secures one-third of Norway's annual state budget. I sure hope Lankerty works Only one person was laughing Don't worry. It's fine. I'm pretty sure it works We're gonna hear a very cool talk zero to prod in two months with a team of one Okay, we'll take a little break and then a personal favorite of mine the negatives to a per-host service mesh So we'll hear about sidecar versus per-host models And then we have three lightning talks and I encourage you to check out these lightning talks because each of these were pretty much full talks and Due to limitations of time we asked our speakers to squeeze 35 minutes of content down into five minutes So it's gonna be a lot like listening to a podcast at like 3x speed There will be a huge amount of content in there and thank you to our speakers who went through that non ideal process And then closing remarks. Thankfully not by me. I'll get out of here and Casper will take us home after that We're gonna do some lounge lunch round table Discussions, this is a mandatory event. You are not allowed to eat unless you go to one of these. That's not mandatory I'm just kidding But some of our speakers and other Lincority community members will be hosting some end user discussions So if you want to go to lunch and especially if you don't have any friends, which Looks like many of you don't now you can go to these lunch round table discussions and talk about Lincority With your group of new newfound friends.

Well, no, you'll see some of these again This is how you can give us feedback because the first time we've ever done Lincority day I want to make sure that we're doing this in a in a good way So the one on the left will give us feedback about the session as a whole And then the one on the right I'm sorry the other way around the one on the left will be for individual talks The one on the right will be for the session as a whole So if there's a speaker you think did a particularly good job Please give them some feedback if there's a speaker you think could use some help Give them some helpful feedback Everyone appreciates that Okay, so that's the uh, that's kind of the um The housekeeping stuff and we'll see some of that later I did want to talk a little bit about uh, you know, because this is the first time We've ever done a Lincority day. I was thinking back about some of the history of of Lincority And you know, it's been I pulled up the original blog post from the CNCF. It's been six years Since Lincority joined the CNCF It's actually the I think the fifth project that ever joined And it was a big deal at the time because the CNCF was quite small and not the Giant machinery that you see around you today And if those, you know, for those of you who are in those early cubecons, you know They were like held in little hotel, you know ballrooms, you know You could fit the tiny tiny room you could pretty much fit everyone who cared about kubernetes in there And so Lincority has been around for a while. We actually graduated, you know, a few years ago which is a top tier of you know, of CNCF maturity and and um, we've never really had a Lincority day until now and part of the reason is because It seems like a lot of work, frankly But also because you know the adoption behind Lincority has just over the past year It's been crazy because Lincority is a pretty mature project But the the adoption has really ramped up over the past year and it felt like we had to do this now We have companies like adidas and db shanker and salt security Adopting Lincority. We're going to hear about some of those talks today. We have, you know A lot of other organizations around the world who we're not going to see here today who are adopting it Who are talking about it? Lincority is powering systems that handle critical financial transactions That handle personal health data including potentially some of your Personal health data they handle 911 calls These are incredibly sensitive systems. They have to be secure and they have to be reliable And they are all relying in turn on Lincority Last year the number of stable clusters around the world that are running Lincority actually doubled I think that's a pretty remarkable feat for a graduated Project right and I think it's especially remarkable because in the early days Everyone told me that Lincority was going to fail I can't tell you how many times I heard Google is going to crush you Kubernetes crushed mazos. It's going to happen to Lincority. Why are you doing this? And I can't tell you how many times I heard Focusing on simplicity is not going to help Kubernetes just crushed docker swarm swarm was simple Kubernetes is complex simplicity is not going to win And I can't tell you how many times I heard. Oh, you've got better technology, but that doesn't matter What about beta max and vhs? We all know beta max was a better system. Well, if you're old like me, you know, beta max was a better system, you know, I heard that over and over again, but We knew we had to try we knew we couldn't just thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah. Yeah, I appreciate that You know, we couldn't just shrug our shoulders and say hey I guess things just have to be shitty and complex in kubernetes land right that didn't feel right to us And the fact that we're here today. I think is evidence that they Were wrong right and the fact that you are here today is evidence that Simplicity does matter and that better technology does Make a difference and that focusing on operability And on reducing the human cost of running a service mesh is critical And what is interesting to me is that in many ways, I think linker d is an inconvenient truth In this industry Much of the cloud native ecosystem. I think would prefer the linker d wasn't here Right. We make things harder For them cloud vendors have their own solutions. They want the ones and it locks you into their platform They don't like the ones, you know, the fact that linker d is so portable Right and the consultants that we talk to they often they don't want to recommend linker d because They want to recommend the complex projects that require a lot of effort and investment so that keeps them, you know, stuck in the You know, making money from their clients And the hobbyists that we talk to You know, linker d is boring. It's a very boring project. We talk about how boring it is They don't want that they want the magic kernels sprinkles, you know, that that solves everything And they don't have to care or worry about debugging the kernel at three in the morning Right. Now that's kind of a generalization All right, we've met consultants, some of whom are here today who are doing the right thing for their customers And they want to do the right thing and we've met and we've partnered with cloud providers Understand the value of diversity in the ecosystem. They want to make linker d part of their platform We've met hobbyists who are aware. I mean, I was a hobbyist myself for a long time Who was aware of the production costs or making intelligent decisions? But if you are here today and if you are choosing linker d I think it's because you're brave I think Choosing linker d takes courage. It's not an easy choice You know, you're going to have to talk to your colleagues and they're going to say, why aren't you using Istio, why aren't you using cillium? Why don't you Well, what about this blog post over here, right? And you're going to have to answer them and you're going to have to defend your choice to them And you're going to have to put yourself and you're going to have to put your reputation On the line when you bring linker d into your organization I think that is a brave act to do. It's a significant one It takes courage and it takes guts And it takes gumption And I'd like to thank you for doing that because I know it's not easy And on our side And I'm going to stop talking now so you can all relax on our side I just promise you that we're going to do our best not to let you down. So if you are giving us the If you are placing our trust your trust in us And bringing linker d into your organization, we're going to do our best to live up to that. So Thank you all for being here today. I'm really excited about the talks that we have and I'll be out at the point booth. Please swing by and say hi. Once again, I'm william morgan Thank you folks and welcome to linker d day
