Docker Meetup with Kubernetes group

Hi all! This session, we're excited to partner with the Boston Kubernetes group to present some Kubernetes topics including the latest k8s news, open-source service mesh to manage distributed containers, and more. This is our first joint meetup and for Docker folks who don't yet work with Kubernetes, are novices, or already work with Docker and k8s on a regular basis, it'll be a great chance to learn more about k8s and you'll get to meet and mingle with folks from both meetup groups. Main meetup topics are KubeCon 2022 takeaways, Istio service mesh and data protection with Kubernetes.
