Full Stack Journey 038: Exploring Kubernetes And The Contour Project With Steve Sloka

Today’s Full Stack Journey episode explores Contour, an an Envoy-based Kubernetes Ingress controller developed by Heptio/VMware.
My guest is Steve Sloka (Twitter, GitHub). We discuss Steve’s journey into Docker, containers, and Kubernetes as a developer, and their impact on his career.
Then, we spend some time chatting about Contour, its benefits, and how it compares to other Ingress controllers.
Over the course of these two topics, Scott and Steve address questions like:

* How did getting into Kubernetes and containers impact your career?
* Was it beneficial to straddle both the infrastructure and software development sides of IT?
* What is Kubernetes Ingress?
* Why create and develop Contour?
* What are some benefits of Contour as compared to other Ingress controllers?
* How would someone get started as a user of Contour?
