From Textbooks To YAML: Mapping Your CS Degree To the Cloud Native World - Parvathy Nair, Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology & Sudhish Nair, Red Hat

Friday June 19, 2026 3:10pm - 3:40pm IST

Lotus 1 (Level 3)

Students graduate with strong OS and Networking knowledge but often feel lost facing the "Wall of YAML" in Cloud Native. They understand "Processes" and "TCP/IP" but struggle to connect them to "Pods" and "Service Meshes."

This session features a University Professor and a Industry Expert strictly mapping standard Computer Science curriculum to Kubernetes primitives. We will translate three core domains live on stage:

Compute: Moving from OS-level fork()/exec() to Containers, and mapping Process Groups to Pods.

Networking: Translating the OSI Model and physical switching to CNIs, Services, and Ingress.

Storage: Mapping Block Devices and File Systems to Persistent Volumes (PVs), Claims (PVCs), and CSI.

Attendees will leave with a mental bridge connecting their academic foundation to modern cloud architecture, realizing they already possess the core knowledge required—they just need to learn the new vocabulary.
