Key takeaways

• We had a workshop on admission controllers and talked about Pepr, which is basically a mix between a Kyverno and an operator SDK. It can completely enhance your security posture in the cluster, and you can create Kubernetes operators and do very complex configurations with it.
• A trend that I’ve been very closely following is the whole configuration aspects. People have very complex logging, there’s open telemetry, there’s all this tooling, and I think there are ways to standardize the way things are configured, so that no matter which team, no matter how much Kubernetes experience there is. Everything is standardized and the same across the board, across Kubernetes clusters.
• One thing I want to share with the ATO community is to contribute to open source. It doesn’t matter where you start or where you are, just pick out an issue or work on docs to start contributing.
