RE:PRESENTED - December DevOps Edition ❄️⛄

Re:presented is a meetup series for software engineers, tech enthusiasts, and curious minds eager to explore the world of technology through a more inclusive lens. Our goal is to spotlight underrepresented voices and bring fresh perspectives to the way we build and experience technology.

This time we proudly present two strong female voices from the fields of DevOps and Cloud-Native Environments.
