Keynote: A Vision for Vision - Kubernetes in Its Second Decade - Tim Hockin, Distinguished Engineer, Google

When Kubernetes started, we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted it to be. Almost 10 years later, we’re not too far off! Looking ahead, the problems we will have in the next 10 years will be VASTLY different from the previous 10 years. Nothing stands still. Everything has changed - our users, our contributors, and the industry we serve.

It’s easy for a project as big and broad as Kubernetes to fall into a pattern of refining the things we already have and missing out on the big picture. It's imperative that we pause and evaluate our trajectory and consider whether the things we’ve built over the last decade are still the things we’ll need for the next decade.

This talk will take a project-wide look at some of the decisions that got us where we are today, and will lay out some possible avenues for where we are going and what we think will be important. Maybe we’ll be right, and maybe we won’t - we’ll find out at KubeCon 2033!
