KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026, Salt Lake City, 9 to 12 November 2026

Two talks, one page

What each talk argues, where the code is, and the slides once they are up.

• BurritoBot Said Let's Dance, the Platform Said No

  Breakout. Thursday 12 November 2026. With Whitney Lee.

  A customer-facing agent will be asked to do things nobody wrote a test for, starting with the developer who asked a burrito chain's chatbot to reverse a linked list before ordering. The platform, not the prompt, is where the no has to live: identity, policy, egress and budget enforced below the agent, so the agent can say yes to dancing and the platform can still say no to everything that matters.

• CNCF Bingo: Play, Learn, Win!!!!!!

  Cloud Native University, Cloud Native Theater. Tuesday 10 November 2026, twelve minutes.

  The CNCF landscape is a few hundred logos and a reader cannot hold it in their head. A bingo card can: each square is a project described by what it actually does, and the game is matching the project to the job. Twelve minutes, one card, and a way to keep learning the landscape after the talk ends.
