Jason Dobies

After 15 years in software engineering, my interests evolved to focus on developer relations and advocacy. I believe the industry has transitioned to a point where developers are integral to making the correct decisions to benefit their projects and company. My experience in teaching and enthusiasm for technology contribute to an energetic, informative, and entertaining approach to developer evangelism, while my experience as a project lead, team lead, and manager provide the skills necessary to plan and deliver on the higher level goals of an evangelist program.

Operators are a way of packaging, deploying, and managing Kubernetes applications. A Kubernetes application doesn’t just run on Kubernetes; it’s composed and managed in Kubernetes terms. Operators add application-specific operational knowledge to a Kubernetes cluster, making it easier to automate complex, stateful applications and to augment the platform. Operators can coordinate application upgrades seamlessly, react to failures automatically, and streamline repetitive maintenance like backups.
