Attendees will experience over 230 sessions, including keynotes
and breakouts, with over 70 presentations hosted by project
maintainers. From non-technical and end user case studies to
advanced engineering deep dives – the conference has content for
everyone interested in cloud native technology.
Conference co-chairs, Constance Caramanolis of Splunk,
Stephen Augustus of Cisco, and
Jasmine James of Twitter, led a
program committee of 104 experts and 30 track chairs to review
976 submissions to curate a lively, diverse, and educational
conference program. Attendees will join organizations and project
maintainers to discuss a slew of cloud native topics including
CNCF's hosted projects.
"Over the past 18 months, the cloud native community has not
only survived, but thrived, helping governments, businesses, and
individuals harness the power of technology to better human
lives in the face of an unprecedented pandemic," said Priyanka Sharma, general manager at the Cloud
Native Computing Foundation. "We are thrilled we will be able to
meet in-person again after a long hiatus and celebrate our
resilience as a community. At the same time, the past year has
shown us how much more diverse, inclusive, and equitable we can
make our events with a virtual experience and we are excited to
report that those who want to stay close to home can also
participate in KubeCon + CloudNativeCon remotely."
"It has been an amazing experience to take part in the speaking
submission process for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America.
Every single submission I read was full of interesting insights,
unique perspectives and creative angles," said Jasmine James, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon program
co-chair and engineering manager at Twitter. "Given the caliber of
the submissions we received this year, I am sure that attendees
will leave with insights on cutting-edge topics and feel inspired
to be part of the cloud native community."
