In this keynote, Linkerd project member William Morgan will present an overview of the various ways in which the Linkerd service mesh has been used to address the global COVID-19 pandemic in practice, ranging from test scheduling for college students to locating available vaccine sources, to the rollout of curbside delivery features at a major grocery chain.

As the third virtual KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, this year’s Europe event once again set record-breaking registration and attendance.

The conference had 26,648+ registrants (a 42.5% increase from Europe 2020) and a 63% attendance rate. Of this year’s registrants, 69% were first-time KubeCon + CloudNativeCon attendees. Feedback from attendees was positive, with 95% of respondents rating the event “good,” “very good,” or “excellent” and an overall average rating of 4.1 / 5. The top two reasons respondents cited for attending KubeCon + CloudNativeCon were career growth/training (58%) and networking (14%).
