Are you ready to dive into Cloud Native but not sure where to start? This talk aims to be your essential guide to understanding and navigating this rapidly evolving ecosystem. As someone who transitioned into this field not long ago, I'll share insights from my experience. This talk is tailored to be clear, engaging, and packed with practical knowledge.

We'll begin with the fundamentals: understanding containers and Kubernetes. Discover why containers are a game-changer in software development and how container orchestrators work. We'll also clarify how Cloud Native differs from traditional cloud computing, shedding light on its impact on modern software development.

We'll also explore the CNCF and its role in the ecosystem. You'll discover key resources and communities within the CNCF that are invaluable for beginners.

By the end of this talk, you'll have a clear understanding of the essentials of Cloud Native, from containers and Kubernetes to the broader CNCF landscape.
