This former chip designer has been doing his one-of-a-kind, PowerPoint-Driven comedy show for corporate audiences for over 20 years – and now he turns his sights on Kubernetes! In his show packed with graphs & charts, Don will show you the funny side of your world that has been sitting right in front of you – you are just too busy working to notice it. Join us for lots of laughs and pick up a few jokes to take back to your job!

Take a well-deserved break because at this event, you will laugh & learn; a lighthearted discussion about:

  • Why the time for optimizing your Kubernetes environment is now.
  • How optimization can help to reduce cloud costs, improve application performance, and allow dev teams to focus on innovating..
