The cloud native community brings together an ecosystem of open source projects, end user companies, and vendors. Like a natural ecosystem, there’s a delicate balance between the species, and some will thrive while others struggle.

In this panel we’ll discuss how start-ups and smaller vendors can best take advantage of opportunities to succeed within the cloud native ecosystem. How can contributing to open source projects help a business? How can vendors make their products appeal to a community centred around open source? How does this business environment differ from traditional markets, and how can you use these differences to best effect?

Our panel includes practitioners and entrepreneurs who will share the lessons they have learned from their own companies and from their broad perspective across the cloud native ecosystem. We’ll help you understand what works and what doesn’t when you’re building a cloud native business.
