Summary
In this episode I talk with Mark Boost, CEO and co-founder at Civo. Civo is a company who's vision, is to create a flexible cloud platform featuring, but not limited to Kubernetes, created by developers, for developers. A company that thinks you should spend less of your time managing environments and hosting platforms, and instead, spend more time coding. Mark and I talk about the foundations of launching a pure play cloud native hosting company which us underpinned by Kubernetes end to end and how a focus on culture and community has resulted in a successful platform beta leading into GA launch at KubeCon 2021.
Civo was founded in 2016 and is head quartered out of the United Kingdom.
