SHOW NOTES:

  • Datadog's Container Report: 11 Facts About Real-World Container Use)

**Topic 1 - **Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background and your transition from engineer to product manager.

**Topic 2 **- Let’s talk out container usage in the public cloud. Beyond the rapid pace of growth/usage, what trends are you following the most closely?

**Topic 3 **- What are some of the unique things that you have to do to monitor container usage, or provide unique data insights to containerized applications?

**Topic 4 **- We were surprised that only 50% of container usage is associated with Kubernetes. It’s been the de facto standard for the past several years. What else is orchestrating containers, or is it lots of one-off containers? 

**Topic 5 **- Large clusters are dominated by large nodes. That seems somewhat counter-intuitive. What do you think drives this pattern? 

**Topic 6 **- Lots of users are running older versions of Kubernetes. The CNCF has moved back to 3 releases a year. Do you expect that we’ll see longer life cycles supported in the future?

**Topic 7 **- Since the report was released, are you beginning to see any new trends that people should be keeping an eye on?
