In a relaxing atmosphere, various presentations were given around the topic of Platform Development. Alongside this year's guest speakers from zebbra AG Dan Bausch and Markus Roth, we were pleased to welcome special guest Stig Telfer from StackHPC Ltd, who travelled all the way from Bristol for the event. StackHPC Ltd and stepping stone AG have been working on the integration of Kubernetes into the OpenStack-based stoney cloud via the Cluster API over the past few months (for more see the blog post «Kubernetes for Enterprise on stoney cloud»).
