Project Lightning Talk: A Curator’s Guide to the CNCF Landscape - Katherine Druckman and Lori Lorusso

Step into the studio with two of the Netherlands’ most famous masters as we explore the CNCF Landscape like a gallery of modern technical masterpieces. Don your berets and join Rembrandt and Van Gogh as we paint a clearer picture of the CNCF ecosystem.

With more than 190 projects across the landscape, discovering what each one does can feel a bit like wandering through an enormous museum without a guide. “Just go to the website” isn’t always enough. Sometimes you need a curator to point out the highlights, explain the movements, and help you see how the pieces fit together.
In this lightning session, we’ll tour a selection of CNCF projects the way art historians might walk through a gallery, highlighting the themes, techniques, and innovations that make them stand out. By the end, you’ll have a clearer mental map of the landscape and be ready to navigate KubeCon like a seasoned collector.
