CloudX is the premier international cloud computing conference, where 3,500+ cloud engineers & developers, IT managers, entrepreneurs, and innovators will converge to discover this year’s newest cloud computing innovations!

NEW SUMMITS AND TOPICS FOR 2025

Cloud Native Development

Designing and developing applications that take full advantage of cloud-native architectures requires staying on top of a constantly shifting development landscape while maintaining a deep understanding of API service design and management, monitoring distributed workloads, applying asynchronous communication techniques, and more. In this track, experienced developers share their experiences and the tips and tricks they have learned to build performant applications in the cloud that deliver results.

SRE, DevOps and Platform Engineering

As distributed systems and continuous development make it easier to rapidly deploy code, maintaining code quality and catching problems as they arise become critical capabilities every team must master. In this track, you’ll learn from experts as they share best practices in DevOps, DevSecOps, infrastructure as code, automated testing, CI/CD, and more.

Leading a Cloud-First Company

As cloud technology continues to drive business innovation, leaders must navigate the complexities of strategy, adoption, and long-term transformation. This track is designed for executives and decision-makers looking to build and scale a cloud-first organization. Experts will share insights on cloud governance, cost optimization, security, compliance, and driving cultural change within teams. Learn how to align cloud initiatives with business goals, maximize ROI, and stay ahead in an increasingly digital economy. Whether you're refining your cloud strategy or leading a full-scale transformation, this track will equip you with the knowledge to make informed, strategic decisions.

Security and Vulnerability Management

Ubiquitous network access means data and services may find their ways to places developers and security experts don’t expect. The rise of AI-driven vulnerability scans and attacks expands the threat surface. This requires a different approach to data, network, and application security that is tailored for the challenges presented by cloud native deployments. In this track, we’ll explore these approaches and learn best practices from the experts who have defined and implemented them while keeping an eye on solutions to the threats that loom on the horizon.

Cloud Infrastructure Design and Architecture

To optimize the delivery of digital services to your customers, you must fit the architecture of your infrastructure to meet their needs, whether that entails orchestrating microservices on Kubernetes clusters, managing serverless workloads, optimizing deployments to the edge, or maintaining an N-tier application stack. In this track, we’ll discuss the best practices for developing infrastructure to serve cloud native applications effectively, explore the options available to teams to optimize their infrastructure, and identify key trends that will impact cloud native hosting in the near future. (Hybrid Cloud, IaaS, Edge,

IT Operations and Enterprise Management

Hosting cloud services – whether for your organization or on behalf of others – presents a unique set of challenges that differs from the data centers of the past. In this track, we’ll discuss the best practices for managing your IT operational workloads in the cloud, including secure identity and access management, managing and integrating with your SaaS providers and their siloed data, scaling business services, and more.

Service Monitoring and Observability

As architectures grow in complexity, so does our ability to understand what’s happening within them. Simple logs and stack traces prove inadequate when tracing asynchronous calls made across distributed services, adding time and effort to software defect diagnosis and remediation. In this track, we’ll discuss the best practices adopted by experts currently tackling these problems and the options available to you as you implement metrics, monitoring, notifications, and other tooling to help maintain visibility in your applications

Managing AI/ML in the Cloud

New advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing how cloud native applications are designed, deployed, and maintained. In this track, we’ll explore these advances, discuss best practices for evaluation and implementation, and see what’s coming next in this exciting field.
