The final — and raddest — Kubernetes release of 2020 is 1.20. This week, Craig and Adam talk to its release team lead, Jeremy Rickard from VMware. Jeremy talks about migrating to newer Kubernetes versions, sooner or later; what was added, what was deprecated, and what that really means; and what happens when you Google your own nane.
