Today we talk about cloud ☁️ as we have on stage Federico Paolinelli from Red Hat to talk us about MetalLB.

MetalLB is a load balancer for Kubernetes instances deployed on bare metal. If you like me are curious to learn what this means, what is Kubernetes, why do you need a load balancer and why would you deploy on bare metal… don’t miss this episode!

Federico will walk us through this project, explaining how he became a maintainer of a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, what are its use cases and its challenges.
