DevOps and Docker Talk: Cloud Native Interviews and Tooling

Contribute to Kubernetes

Listen Later

Bret and Matt are joined by Chad Crowell of KubeSkills to walk through how you can contribute to Kubernetes open source.

Chad started the kubeskills.com community and podcast to focus on learning Kubernetes by doing and in this episode, he's taking us through a detailed guide on how to get involved in the Kubernetes community.


Although Kubernetes and other CNCF projects may seem big and complex with tons of activity, Chad helps us understand how the maturity of the projects and the community make it a much more pleasant onboarding experience for first-time contributors. We go through a wide range of resources and steps to help your first issue or pull request go smoothly.


Live recording of this show from March 9, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #206).
