Redefining cloud native with the Coalesced Chunk Retrieval Protocol

What happens if we question current assumptions around CNG and imagine what it could be if we were to redefine it with new technologies? The Coalesced Chunk Retrieval Protocol (CCRP) is one idea born ...

I'll be talking about why we have yet to standardize "place", why it matters, and what we can learn from our history of standardizing time. Join us!

CNG @cloudnativegeo.org · Aug 27

What if “place” were as easy to standardize as “time”?
@dbreunig.bsky.social explores that idea in a special live session, Sept 4 at 10 PT | 1 ET.
