Pivotal - An introduction to Kpack: The new open-source container image building project to make DevOps easier and security happy.

Kpack is a new open-source container image building solution that provides a modern approach to building and maintaining (OCI) container images. Kpack manages the creation and storing of the container images using repositories like Artifactory or Harbor. It also schedules image rebuilds on relevant buildpack changes or source code commits. During this session, we will review how Kpack works and provide an overview of Cloud Native buildpacks. Finally, we will demo Kpack in action and provide further material to install your own Kpack solution.
