1. NGINX 101 by Damian Curry
It has been 20 years since the creation of NGINX OSS. NGINX has drastically evolved since its inception in 2002 and has proven itself as the most popular web server and reverse proxy available today. In this talk we will look at what makes the NGINX architecture so powerful, what use cases it can fill in your environments and where the product is headed.

2. From Zero to Hero with Kubernetes using Windows and Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 by Dylen Turnbull
In true zero to hero format, we will begin with setting up basic dev tools from scratch with designs on working effectively and efficiently with Kubernetes using Windows and WSL 2. You learn how to Install and configure Rancher Desktop with a minimal toolset to work with the NGINX Ingress Controller and set up an external load balancer service.
All attendees abide by the NGINX Community Code of Conduct. Photos from this event may wind up on NGINX properties. Please let an organizer know if you do not want your picture shared.
