Matt has done Dev, sometimes with added Ops, for over a decade, working at JetStack, SkyScanner, Cisco, Tetrate, and others. His idea of "full-stack" is Linux, Kubernetes, and now Istio too.

Matt will deliver a practical talk on Cloud-Native Progressive Delivery - this is an approach, and a set of tools, which gives us automated, safe, observable Deployments and Releases. They'll be a lot of demos, during which we'll see:

- Canary deployments and automated rollbacks

- The seperation of Deployment and Release
- Traffic mirroring, comparison of results between versions, and network tricks in Kubernetes
