Abdel Sghiouar, Kaslin Fields
About this episode

What is configuration as data, how is different from infrastructure as code, and why can't anything just be itself anymore? We posed these questions and more to long-time Kubernetes contributor Justin Santa Barbara at KubeCon EU, and this episode is the result. Justin created the kOps project and now leads the team at Google that makes Kubernetes easier to consume.
