Mark Shuttleworth is the founder of Ubuntu and CEO of its parent company Canonical. Ubuntu is the Linux distribution of the Cloud. You can use it inside your containers, or you can use it as your node OS. Canonical packages Kubernetes for both the edge (MicroK8s) and the server (Charmed Kubernetes). Oh, and aside from that, Mark was the first African in space, spending 8 days on the International Space Station in 2002. Craig and Adam ask Mark about how this all happened, and how it has changed his perspective on technology.
