Abstract
Dealing with cloud native deployments can be challenging at first. Knowing and having the right tool for each task can make all the difference, ideally conveniently stored in a close by pocket.In this session Ricardo will present what could be a cloud native swiss knife. A set of tools and functionalities he wishes he knew existed from the start, as well as others the community introduced later on which have significantly improved the daily life of developers and operators.
