Understanding Kyverno in a visual way

A presentation at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2025 in in Atlanta, GA, USA by Aurélie Vache

Kubernetes has become the de-facto standard to deploy & operate containerized applications. But understanding it can be difficult or time-consuming and understanding its ecosystem can be way more complicated.

After several years of using Kubernetes and Cloud Native tools like Kyverno in production, I asked myself how I can make them accessible and then I created a new way of explaining Cloud Native technologies.

In the first part of the talk, I will tell you a story; I will tell you my story. How, for 5 years, I worked every evening/night/weekend to explain Kubernetes and its ecosystem in sketchnotes, in blog posts, videos and finally published everything (and more) in illustrated books and videos and why I continue to do it.

And in the second part, I will explain Kyverno to you … in a visual way :-).
