The recent KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America event touted 12,000 attendees, a 50% growth from last year’s conference. Illustrating the continued strong interest in Kubernetes were several announcements at the show, like 3.0 of Helm, the CLI packaging tool for Kubernetes; Buoyant’s Dive, SaaS Control Plane for Kubernetes; and Rancher K3s, a certified Kubernetes distribution for edge workloads.
