## .NET 5 @petrkotas

This is a big release bringing .NET core united with .NET 4.x
Many features and even though I am not .NET developer, I am excited about this.
With .NET and .NET core united, the future is bright. As now I can see more
direct move towards cloud and containers for .NET systems already written.

Just interesting to keep an eye on.

TL;DR isn't build like Istio and tries to aim for users that are just starting to outgrow Ingress Controllers-only traffic pattern.

DEMO it and ask a guest about networking.

## Cloud-native the struggle is real @petrkotas

https://thenewstack.io/developers-vs-executives-cloud-native-confusion-is-real/

Kinda long article again repeating the misunderstanding what cloud-native means with proof in survey.

TL;DR;
Running in the cloud does not mean cloud-native. Using K8s does not mean cloud native.

Utilizing cloud resources as much as possible, to simplify the life and ease the costs is cloud-native.
