An Interactive Journey Through the Cloud Native Landscape

Whitney Lee and Victor Farcic discuss their unique approach to educating others about the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's (CNCF) landscape through their interactive presentations and YouTube project 'You Choose.' The pair explain how they incorporate live audience voting to determine the 'chosen' technologies implemented in their ongoing demos. Their fun approach helps newcomers in the field make informed decisions on the tools to use, and to understand how these various tools can integrate with each other. They talk about their previous talks and excitement for possible future events where they'll continue their interactive sessions.
