Talk Abstract
Kubernetes is one of the more polarizing tools in the IT space today. Every week, it seems like there is another blog post about how Kubernetes saved our company or how Kubernetes ruined my life.The Kubernetes website also doesn’t do itself many favors. While the documentation is encyclopedic and a fantastic reference, anyone curious about Kubernetes is instantly met with a bewildering array of terminology and nautical puns. You’re either going to be sailing the seven seas or be washed ashore.
However, if we strip away much of the jargon and infrastructure concerns, what we’ll find is a simple core design. Kubernetes isn’t a container orchestrator: it’s a CRUD API with a database!
In this presentation, we’ll build up our understanding of Kubernetes by starting with this core concept. We’ll create our own version of Kubernetes, and we’ll slowly add more lingo until we’re deploying applications to a real cluster. Along the way, we’ll look at several C# code examples.
So whether you’re learning by choice or by necessity, come aboard and join the IADNUG crew as we explore the Foundations of Kubernetes.

Talk Abstract
When taking your first steps into functional programming, you'll quickly run into blog posts talking about how to simplify complex loops by using the trinity of list operations: map, filter, and reduce. But what are these methods actually doing under the hood to help simplify your code?If you're familiar with the .NET landscape, then you already have experience with an implementation of the trinity within LINQ (Language Integrated Query). However, what if I told you that by learning how LINQ implements map (Select), filter (Where), and reduce (Aggregate), you actually know how other languages implement the same constructs?
Intended for C# developers who have some experience with LINQ and an interest in learning functional programming, by the end of this session, you will have learned how to work with the Func type, generics, and extension methods!
