interface

The Interface Crew continues their conversation with the King of Kubernetes, Kelsey Hightower. He discusses how Kubernetes was developed, the process of getting published by O'Reilly, and the importance of joining and creating communities around technology.

Highlights

"Kubernetes is a tool, but to understand a tool you gotta know what it's used for."

"Just because technology is hot and in demand doesn't mean you immediately have a problem too or you may not even want to have that problem."

"I went to Wikipedia and found a dolphin because dolphins travel in pods, Kubernetes has pods. And I didn't know, you don't get to pick your animal. O'Reilly already has a collection of hand drawn animals, and when you do your book, they, they tell you, this is your animal."

"A lot of people put some differences aside when there's a huge dominating common interest and when that common interest takes place, that becomes a thing that becomes front and center. I'm not saying in those rooms that no one is racist anymore. I'm not saying that. I'm saying is people focus on a common interest that distracts them stuff."
