Keynote: Kubernetes Family Feud: A Decade of Architecture and Evolution – Hosted by Tim Hockin, Distinguished Engineer, Google

Kubernetes is 10 years old! While its growth has been remarkable, it has also accrued technical debt, familiar to long-standing members, and there are still many issues that remain as top concerns.

In this fun Family Feud-style format, team leads and a moderator will engage experienced community members in discussing these architectural and design issues. By polling the community ahead of time, we aim to surface the most pressing, or at least bothersome, concerns. Two teams, each headed by a captain on stage, will compete in the typical Family Feud style.

After attending this session, participants will gain awareness of early design and architectural decisions and compromises, understanding which have been fixed and how to work around others. Along the way, attendees might enjoy a hearty laugh or two, appreciating the collective wisdom of the community members polled.
