So, That's what happened at Kubecon CloudNativeCon 2022 North America.

How It all started 🔰

I was Browsing the web to knowing the latest things around the world and I sported this thing called Kubecon CloudNativeCon North America. I didn't even know about kubecon until then, So I searched about Kubecon and found something interesting -- Kunal Video on Kubecon. Then I came to know all about Kubecon and how to get a scholarship for attending, Kept all my work aside and filled out the application form for Dan Kohn Need-Based Scholarship...

• The Dee Day 📅

  I was waiting for the Notification of the scholarship outcome and all of a sudden I got a mail from CNCF, Gone Mad and super excited, I prepared everything for the Virtual Event and waited for the Kickoff, as I am a first-time attendee of the event, I watched several videos on how to utilize the event time
  effectively.
