TBS[20]: Packet, an Equinix Company

Dan is joined this week by Marques Johansson, Principal Engineer, Integrations at Packet. Marques has worked on a variety of open source projects, including Crossplane, and now helps Packet integrate with many of these projects in the cloud native community. Packet enables enterprises and developers to make infrastructure their competitive advantage with fully automated bare metal that can be deployed anywhere. In this episode, Dan and Marques will check out Packet's provider for Crossplane, as well as their new open source bare metal provisioning engine, Tinkerbell.
