Who have I talked to today, are there any follow-ups or learnings?

## Operator Framework

* We talked about the operator lifecycle manager
* They shared the roadmap and the new release 1.0 will bring support for Operator Bundle loading from any OCI source (no more public-registry enforcement)

## Flux

* We talked about automatic helm release updates [lessons learned from flux](/lessons_learned/02_flux)

## Cloud foundry/Paketo

* We mostly had some smalltalk
* There will be a cloud foundry day in Karlsruhe in October, they'd be happy to have us there
* The whole KORFI (Cloud foundry on Kubernetes) Project is still going strong, but no release candidate yet (or in the near future)

## Traefik

* We mostly talked about traefik hub as an API-portal

## Postman

* I asked them about their new cloud-only stuff: They will keep their direction
* They are also planning to work on info materials on why postman SaaS is not a big security risk

## Mattermost

{{% notice style="note" %}}
I should follow up
{{% /notice %}}

* I talked about our problems with the Mattermost operator and was asked to get back to them with the errors
* They're currently migrating the Mattermost cloud offering to arm - therefor arm support will be coming in the next months
* The Mattermost guy had exactly the same problems with notifications and read/unread using element

## Vercel

* Nice guys, talked a bit about convincing customers to switch to the edge
* Also talked about policy validation

## Renovate

* The paid renovate offering now includes build failure estimation
* I was told not to buy it after telling the technical guy that we just use build pipelines as MR verification

### Cert manager

* The best swag (judged by coolness points)

### Upwind

{{% notice style="note" %}}
They will follow up with a quick demo
{{% /notice %}}

* A Kubernetes security/runtime security solution with pretty nice looking urgency filters
* Includes eBPF to see what code actually runs
* I'll witness a demo in early/mid April

### Isovalent

* Dinner (very tasty)
* Cilium still sounds like the way to go in regard to CNIs
