Join the ​Cloud ​Native ​Computing ​Foundation and Packet ​for ​​an ​​interactive ​​discussion ​about the success stories, failures, rationales and in-the-trenches challenges when running cloud native in private or non "public cloud" datacenters. This means bare metal, colocation, private clouds, special hardware or networking setups, compliance and security focused deployments. We'll talk about successes, current initiatives within the community to enable these types of deployments and work left to be done to make cloud native platforms truly portable.
