In the final episode of our two-part series, Brendan returns to the Dev Interrupted podcast to tell us the founding story of Kubernetes. He discusses the battle to make Kubernetes open source, why a strong community was vital to early success and learning when to let others take the lead, avoiding a “dictator for life” approach to development.

Episode Highlights Include:

  • How Kubernetes came to be
  • Why Kubernetes had to be open source
  • Avoiding a “dictator for life” approach to development
  • Improving developer experience for distributed systems
  • How to build and sustain communities
