Dan “Pop” Papandrea (@danpopnyc) speaks with us about creating the POPcast (@PopcastPop) and connecting with the faces behind tech at a human level. In this episode you can really feel the love among the Cloud Native, and tech communities, and see how the human connection is such a necessary need for us all.

Check out the POPcast here: https://github.com/danpopSD/popcast

Prashanto Kochavara and Bhagirath Hapse from Trilio speak with us about identifying their needs and solving problems as both platform builders, and end-users, in the Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystem. We talk about data backups, how they use the StormForge optimization platform, and the solutions they’ll be showcasing at KubeCon.

Brian Gracely (@bgracely) speaks with Noah about the history of Red Hat OpenShift and how it, and its teams, have evolved to address the needs of the community. We talk about the duality of contributing to #Kubernetes in both an enterprise, and upstream sense, and how to solve for the requirements of companies that are NOT Google.

Mike Fuller speaks with us about the issues addressed by the FinOps Foundation and FinOps at large. We talk about how users and members get their footing, how it differs from org to org, and the types of tooling (and solutions) people use to get a handle on their cloud financial awareness.

Puja (@puja108) speaks with us about identifying pain points in the dual world of being both a vendor and a trusted partner. From moving to Kubernetes, or managing clouds, to identifying partners and helping with product introspection, Giant Swarm has a lot of user needs to solve.

Join Noah Abrahams and Cody Crudgington from Stormforge.io for a series of interviews leading up to #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon this fall. They'll be discussing pain points within the Cloud Native ecosystem, Kubernetes, and a whole lot more.
