VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Many people talk about https://www.weave.works/technologies/gitops/ and https://kubernetes.io/, but when https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendan-burns-487aa590/, a Microsoft Corporate Vice President, a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft Azure, and, oh yeah, co-founder of Kubernetes, talks, I listen. Burns started by explaining how it’s deeply rooted in the development of continuous integration, deployment, and delivery. What really motivated him to help create Kubernetes was, “When we were starting out, we tried to put together reliable deployments.

It allows each persona to manage a Git repository, rather than needing to directly interact with the cluster.
