Slim.AI Announces KubeCon+CloudNativeCon `21 Schedule

← Slim Blog

We're excited to be a "startup" level sponsor for this year's KubeCon + CloudNative Con. We're taking a hybrid approach to this year's events, with virtual events streaming on our Twitch Channel, along with in-booth meetups, live office hours in our virtual booth, and plenty of chatter in our Discord.

The highlight of the show for us is Co-Founder and CTO Kyle Quest, creator of the popular DockerSlim open source project, joining experts from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and RedHat, among others, during a full day of sessions at Cloud Native eBPF Day North America, an event dedicated to this revolutionary Linux technology.

In addition, Ayse Kaya, Slim.AI’s Senior Director of Strategy and Analytics, will discuss her findings in a report on the “Top 100 Public Containers”, available for download starting Wednesday.

On Tuesday, we will release details of a forthcoming case study showcasing how teams can use the platform to speed their development. And Friday, Head of Product Josh Viney will talk about the company's future in helping solve developer's challenges in shipping cloud-native apps. The events take place daily at 11am PDT on the Slim.AI Twitch channel.

Embarking on a New Journey

Farewell, Slim — Transitioning to a new and larger mission!

We're excited to share some big news from Slim.AI. We're taking a bold new direction, focusing all our energy on software supply chain security, now under our new name root.io. To meet this opportunity head-on, we’re building a solution focused on transparency, trust, and collaboration between software producers and consumers.

When we started Slim.AI, our goal was to help developers make secure containers. But as we dug deeper with our early adopters and key customers, we realized a bigger challenge exists within software supply chain security ​​— namely, fostering collaboration and transparency between software producers and consumers. The positive feedback and strong demand we've seen from our early customers made it crystal clear: This is where we need to focus.

This new opportunity demands a company and brand that meet the moment. To that end, we’re momentarily stepping back into stealth mode, only to emerge with a vibrant new identity, and a groundbreaking product very soon at root.io. Over the next few months, we'll be laser-focused on working with design partners and building up the product, making sure we're right on the mark with what our customers need.
