The gap between Minikube and Kubernetes in production is vast and full of pain. Come to this session to learn more about it's like to implement Kubernetes in production for the first time before you collect the bumps and bruises yourself.

We will explore two different paths to production - one in early 2018, one in early 2020 - including the ups and downs of each initial experience. We will touch on how each situation's context matters including who was involved, the scope, and what was intentionally deferred.

We will cover:

* Why even consider Kubernetes (Hint: you might not benefit from it!)
* Kubernetes in two contexts and time periods
* How goals changed during implementation of k8s
* What we learned in each implementation and remaining gaps
