Binaris:  Attendees should come visit our booth to learn about the unique advantages of using Serverless Functions to do more, faster. Binaris functions can meet the performance and scalability requirements typically associated with Kubernetes implementations. The Binaris programming model keeps cloud infrastructure out of the way so developers can focus on adding business value.

VMblog:  What are some of the reasons why you believe a KubeCon attendee should add you to their MUST SEE list?

Binaris:  In the Binaris booth, attendees will be able to get a sneak peak at the next step in the cloud native application platform evolution. Attendees who want to spend less time configuring Kubernetes pods and setting up service discovery will find the abilities of Binaris functions highly exciting.

VMblog:  Have you sponsored KubeCon before?  What about this event grabbed your attention?

Binaris:  We are excited to sponsor KubeCon for the first time. We believe KubeCon is the best place to meet people who are as passionate about the future of cloud computing as much as we are.

VMblog:  Can you give VMblog readers a sneak peek as to what you will be showing off at your booth?  What should attendees expect to see and hear at your booth?

Binaris:  In Binaris, we have spent the last two and a half years re-thinking the cloud native compute stack. We think functions are the right programming model for the next wave of cloud innovation. Visitors to our booth will get a sneak peek at the Binaris functions beta release and learn more about achieving the scale and performance of Kubernetes at a fraction of the cost.

VMblog:  Thinking about your company, give readers a few reasons why your product or service is considered unique.

Binaris:  There are many providers of Serverless function and Kubernetes based cloud platforms. Binaris functions offers a viable, unique alternative to Kubernetes applications by providing a fast, scalable and easy to use function based cloud environment.

VMblog:  How does your company and product fit within the container or cloud ecosystem?

Binaris:  In an era of hyper-competitive cloud ecosystem and of ever-increasing amounts of data collected by myriad devices there is a need for a fast and easy to implement platform. More than ever before, developers need to be able to focus on solving business problems rather than on configuring and managing infrastructure. With Binaris, cloud developers can deliver applications quickly without the need to worry about operating any part of their infrastructure.

Binaris:  We are looking forward to engaging with the Kubernetes and Cloud Native application community members in our booth this year. We want to learn about their struggles and discuss opportunities to help.

VMblog:  What would you say to prospective attendees who are thinking about attending KubeCon but aren't sure if it's worth it or not?

Binaris:  KubeCon attendees have an opportunity to be a part in one of the most fundamental shifts in the computing industry. Cloud technology is transforming computing into a utility that is available to everyone across the globe. KubeCon is an opportunity to interact with other members of this revolution, see how it's going and what is coming next.

VMblog:  What do you think we need to do collectively as an ecosystem to strengthen the industry?

Binaris:  As members of the cloud infrastructure community we share an obligation to our customers. We need to keep aspiring to make cloud computing accessible to everyone by striving to reduce costs, share best practices in security and design patterns.

VMblog:  What do you hope to come away with from exhibiting at KubeCon?  What does event success look like to you?
