Episode 42 - Mirantis Lens

In this episode I talk with Miska Kaipiainen, VP Engineering, Strategy & Open Source Software at Mirantis. Mirantis helps organizations ship code faster on public and private clouds. They provide a public cloud experience on any infrastructure from the data center to the edge. Miska focuses in on Lens which empowers a new breed of Kubernetes developers by removing infrastructure and operations complexity and providing one cohesive cloud experience for complete app and DevOps portability. We also cover the current state of Kubernetes adoption and how focusing on developers with Lens as a Kubernetes IDE has seen tremendous growth for the product, which is Open Source.

Mirantis was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Campbell, California.
