We'd love to announce our KEYNOTE DAY 1 at #DevOpsDaysAustin - Whitney Lee

Whitney is a lovable goofball who enjoys understanding and using tools in the cloud native landscape. Creative and driven, Whitney recently pivoted from an art-related career to one in tech. She is a CNCF Ambassador and is active in the open source community. And not only does she rock at tech—she literally has toured playing in the band Mutual Benefit on keyboards and vocals

We are pumped & honored to have Whitney talk
