Kubernetes 101 - Episode 9 - GitOps and Lagoon - Interview with Michael Schmid

In this episode, I'm going to interview Michael Schmid, co-founder and CTO of amazee.io. I'll talk to him about managed Kubernetes and amazee.io's Lagoon product. I'll also ask about open source and why someone would choose a managed Kubernetes offering instead of DIY.

Check out Lagoon here: https://lagoon.readthedocs.io
