This year's KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe event in London, happening on April 2-4, aims to explore themes like security, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and observability, along with platform engineering strategies for evolving developer needs.
The event will focus on how enterprises are adapting the cloud-native ecosystem to address security risks, cost control, AI integration, and platform engineering to meet the changing demands of developers.
Kubernetes remains crucial in modern cloud-native infrastructure, and discussions at the event are expected to shift towards enhancing platform engineering, security, and AI integration.
Red Hat's OpenShift 4.18 release reflects the convergence of container-based workloads and traditional virtualization to meet the hybrid flexibility and scalability needs of organizations, especially with increasing AI initiatives.
As Kubernetes adoption matures, enterprises are focusing more on managing it securely, cost-effectively, and at scale, addressing challenges related to developer enablement, operational complexity, security, and data protection.
Nethopper LLC's Kubernetes AI operations platform, KAOPS, aims to simplify Kubernetes operations and secure private AI deployments, catering to enterprise security requirements and data observability.
Google's Kubernetes Engine now supports clusters of up to 65,000 nodes, enabling faster AI model training and large-scale AI operations, reflecting the growing demand for efficient cloud-native scale.
The ecosystem is evolving beyond Kubernetes with technologies like eBPF gaining traction for security and observability, hinting at future abstractions to handle workload types efficiently.
The focus at the event will be on balancing innovation and operational complexity, with platform customization, AI integration, and supply chain security expected to drive the cloud-native evolution.
theCUBE's coverage of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU from April 2-4 will feature exclusive insights from developers, executives, and ecosystem builders about the innovations in cloud-native computing.
