Topic 1 - What\\u2019s the most common \\u201cbasic\\u201d question you get about containers? How often is it about either [a] what should developers care about?, or [b] what applications can go into a container?

Topic 2 - As we\\u2019ve seen from various survey data (both from CNCF and analyst firms), there is still some amount of \\u201cmixed orchestration\\u201d in usage. Have you seen specific applications that really require different orchestrators these days?

Topic 3 - Are the orchestrators similar enough that Ops teams can learn multiple? What else is required to operator multiple orchestrators?

Topic 4 - What is the line between a CaaS and a PaaS? Are those even the right distinctions anymore? What\\u2019s different for each for a developer?

Topic 5 - As we\\u2019re seeing more \\u201cserverless / FaaS\\u201d projects created for Kubernetes (OpenFaaS, Kubeless, Fission, OpenWhisk, Nuclio, Fn, etc.), where developers just deal with functions and event-sources, won\\u2019t this blur the line more?\\xa0
