Duffie Cooley
Field CTO Isovalent & CNCF Ambassador
I am a generalist. I prefer to work in a fast paced deeply technical atmosphere. I believe that if you can't teach a thing then you don't understand it. I enjoy working with engineering focused companies/teams as they tend to align with my values pretty well. I have a strong preference for test driven methodologies. Technologies like Kubernetes, Mesos, Openstack, and Docker. All have a place in creating a new world for ops and engineering teams, and I am excited about it. Where we are headed. The engineering and systems role is very different. I enjoy working with these teams and helping to facilitate the transition to new technologies.

KubeCon Europe 2026 Wrap-Up
KubeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam felt less like a conference focused on Kubernetes and more like a glimpse into where the cloud native ecosystem is heading next. The conversations have shifted, and Kubernetes itself is no longer the main attraction. Instead, the focus has moved to the workloads running on top of it. In this wrap-up blog, we'll take you through all the great things that happened!
