KubeCon Keynote Address stresses the importance of supporting maintainers and upstream commitments

The resilience of the Cloud Native community was emphasized this morning as Priyanka Sharma, executive director of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) gave the Keynote Address and opening remarks at KubeCon CloudNativeCon North America 2022.

She began her talk by applauding the ways in which the community has continued to thrive despite the tumultuous nature of the last few years.

“Both the humans and the technology have shown incredible resilience,” Sharma said. “That resilience has been reflected in our numbers, which keep climbing up… And today, we are at 176,362 contributors worldwide.”

Her talk focused heavily on the importance of maintainers in the Kubernetes space and the ways in which their contributions and time sacrifices are essential to the success of the billion dollar companies that they work for.

Sharma welcomed Yuan Tang, maintainer of Argo and founding engineer at Akuity, and Heba Elayoty, bug triage lead for Kubernetes release 1.25, multiple SIG contributor, main maintainer of Virtual Kubelet, and software engineer at Microsoft to the stage in order to dive deeper into the knowledge maintainers can share with the community.

They discussed topics such as a maintainer’s key challenges, how to solve them, how CNCF has been helpful throughout their journeys, and how organizations can better support their maintainers.

Sharma explained that one way CNCF is helping to support maintainers is through the company’s new initiative to strengthen digital safety.

“Starting today, all maintainers will have access to a platform called Tall Poppy which is a digital safety platform that will help them secure their online presence and avoid needless harassment and bullying,” she said.

Additionally, Sharma mentioned ContribFest, an event taking place at KubeCon CloudNativeCon 2022 that allows participants to hack on projects, get the help that they need, and assist maintainers.

She also explained that no company on CNCF’s governing board has any plans to cut back on upstream commitments, stating that several of them have gone above and beyond in their efforts.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice.

Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
