Since joining the CNCF as a sandbox project in 2019, KubeVirt has steadily grown in size, features, and stability. But developing a project is different from how it is used. As we approach our milestone v1.0 release, we wanted to have an open discussion with our end users. In this panel discussion, we will hear from representatives for ARM, Civo, CoreWeave, Killercoda, and NVIDIA. This will be a free-flowing conversation but we expect attendees will learn about how these companies deploy KubeVirt, and any other CNCF projects, to cover their use cases and address their customers' needs, how they interact with and contribute back to the project, and how we can learn from and grow with each other.

Civo built a cloud computing company around K3s, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution, and shares their learnings of growing up fast in collaboration with the open-source community. They were able to iterate on K3s quickly and scale it up without traditional Kubernetes challenges, resulting in sub-90 second launch times.

• Civo is a managed Kubernetes provider based on K3s, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution
• K3s reduces installation complexity and comes packed as a single binary
• Civo is highly community-focused and community-driven
• Civo's platform provides several different options to allow for community feedback and community-created resources
• Civo was able to iterate on K3s quickly and scale it up without traditional Kubernetes challenges
• Civo promises sub-90 second launch times with sub-60 seconds becoming tantalizingly close
