Kubernetes Community Days (or KCD) is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) supported event that takes place in 30 cities every year. You may have attended KCDs before in neighboring countries, but finally KCD is coming to Budapest for us to enjoy a day together in the local cloud native community.

KCDs are community-organized events that gather adopters and technologists from open source and cloud native communities for education, collaboration, and networking.

Cloud Native in the Age of Agents：当云原生遇见 Agent

AI Agent 正在重塑软件的构建方式和运行形态。从 MCP 协议到推理引擎优化，从 Agent 沙箱隔离到多 Agent 编排，Kubernetes 正在成为 Agent 工作负载的标准运行时，CNCF 生态中的 OpenTelemetry、Envoy、Knative 等项目正在为 Agent 时代提供新的基础设施保障。

KCD Hangzhou 2025 以 AI + Cloud Native 双 Track 吸引了 82 份投稿、39 位讲师、316 名到场参会者和 20,000+ 线上观众，参会者反馈最强烈的声音是——希望更多深度 AI 内容和互动环节。

今年我们围绕 "Agent on Kubernetes" 这一核心叙事，设置三个分论坛：Agent 如何在 K8s 上运行、如何用 CNCF 可观测生态保障 AI 系统质量、AI 推理引擎如何与 K8s 调度深度结合。每个 Track 都扎根于 CNCF/K8s 生态，同时回应 Agent 时代的新需求。

🚀 Call for Speakers: KCD Florida 2026 🌟

Are you ready to lead the conversation on cloud-native innovation? On Dec 11, 2026, KCD Florida will take over the Convention Center for a day filled with cutting-edge discussions, hands-on learning, and networking with the Kubernetes and cloud-native community.

We’re calling for visionary speakers to lead transformative sessions, including:

🎓 Hands-On Workshops

Guide attendees through Kubernetes-related projects, real-world problem-solving, and practical implementation. Help participants build confidence and technical expertise to innovate within their cloud-native environments.

🎤 Interactive Sessions

Share your insights, present unique use cases, or showcase live demos. Equip attendees with actionable strategies to tackle cloud-native challenges and drive adoption of Kubernetes and CNCF tools.

Whether you're an experienced presenter or a first-timer with fresh ideas, KCD Florida is the perfect platform to showcase your knowledge, foster collaboration, and inspire innovation within the community.

Submit your talk today and help us shape the future of cloud-native technologies. Together, let’s create an unforgettable day of learning and impact in Miami! 🌐✨

Kubernetes Community Days Gujarat 2026 is a community-led, in-person technical conference bringing together cloud native practitioners, open source contributors, developers, platform engineers, students, and technology leaders from across India.

Organised by volunteers and supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), KCD Gujarat is part of the global Kubernetes Community Days program.

Expect practical sessions, real-world lessons, and engineering stories covering Kubernetes, Platform engineering, AI/ML, Observability, Security, DevOps, GitOps, and the broader CNCF ecosystem.

Whether you're contributing to open source, scaling platforms, building startups, or beginning your cloud native journey, KCD Gujarat is a welcoming place to learn, connect, and share.

First-time speaker?

You don't need to be a well-known industry expert to submit a proposal. We strongly encourage first-time speakers and are actively looking for diverse voices and perspectives from across the community.

Kubernetes Community Days (KCD) Sofia 2026 is a community-driven, non-profit event dedicated to Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies — organized by the

  community, for the community, supported by the CNCF.

  Last year we proved the concept: 446 attendees, 19 speakers, 19 sessions, and a sold-out house at Sofia Event Center. The room was packed with practitioners —

  46% DevOps/SRE, engineers from end-user companies, vendors, consultants, and attendees from across Europe and beyond. The verdict from the floor: "One of the

  best conferences I have ever been. Really well done, top organization, amazing content and great networking."

  📅 September 29th, 2026 — we're doing it again, bigger.

  One day, single track, no filler. Expect technical depth across Kubernetes, platform engineering, security, observability, and GitOps — with speakers who

  actually run this stuff in production. Talks, hands-on sessions, and the kind of hallway conversations that don't happen on Slack or in GitHub issues.

  Whether this is your first KCD or your tenth, Sofia in late September delivers: the tech community is here, the venue is world-class, and Vitosha Mountain is

  right outside the door.

  Join us. Help shape what's next.

Preparense para vivir una jornada increible de la mano de los profesionales mas relevantes de la industria en materia de Cloud Native, Platform Engineering, DevSecOps, FinOps, AI y muchos topicos mas!
