I would recommend The Kubernetes Control Plane for Busy People Who Like Pictures where @lavalamp (Daniel Smith) goes through most of the controllers in kube-contoller-manager. It’s pretty informative talk if you want to know internal stuff.

It was my first KubeCon, and I had such a great time - I’ll definitely be coming along next year!
I really enjoyed the “hallway track” and just running into and chatting to lots of different people - I wonder if there could be more official slots for this, e.g. networking sessions perhaps based around areas of interest (like AWS, controllers, security to name a few).
I did see many great talks - if I had to pick just three (in random order):

I really enjoyed a number of presentations, including your own about k8s
fails! 
My favorite session I believe was “Scavenging for Reusable Code in
Kubernetes” by Kevin Lingerfelt:
Big thanks and shout-out to all the speakers. I appreciate the effort
that each presenter put into their talk.
Best,

I especially liked “Scale Kubernetes Service Endpoints 100x” by Minhan Xia & Wojciech Tyczynski:

Yes, agreed, a fantastic talk.
Especially for people new to the k8s code base who want to get an overview of how the k8s code is structured.
Kevin’s mission sorties into kubernetes/kubernetes to find “alien” go technology for use in linkerd were entertaining and informative.
At the time as I sat in the room I was trying to follow along in my own checked out copy of the code but the pace Kevin was going at was to a bit too fast for in-talk follow along.
However, I’ll be scrubbing through this video a lot over the next few days as I start my own journey on grokking the k8s codebase.
Excellent work.

Wow, thanks for the talk endorsements, @jaypipes and @RobKielty! Sorry I’m only just now seeing this thread, but I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
The recording of the talk is incomplete, unfortunately, so I’m hoping to give the talk again sometime soon. I’ll post a full recording once I have one. Thanks again for the feedback!

It took a few months, but I’ve managed to give the Scavenging for Reusable Code talk again, and it has a functional recording, which you can view here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLgkA8a87R4
