Announcing KubeCrash Fall 2022 — the KubeCon NA Warm-up
KubeCrash: Virtual. Free. 100% Open Source.
Get match-fit for KubeCon this October and arrive in Detroit fully up to speed with some of the biggest, most topical trends in cloud native open source. KubeCrash is a virtual learning event created by major cloud native companies to give you practical know-how and new development skills. Hosted on October 5 and 6, this virtual, free, and 100% focused on open source event will be held at European- and Americas-friendly timezones. Check out the program and register today.
About KubeCrash
After a successful KubeCrash Spring event, with lots of great feedback from the community, we decided to host the Fall event before KubeCon. Two half-days — one from 3 to 6 pm Central European Time and the other one from 12 to 3 pm Eastern / 9 am to 12 pm Pacific Time — will make it simple for engineers on both continents to participate live.
KubeCrash is hosted by seven open source companies who teamed up to bring you top-notch, KubeCon-grade crash courses on cloud native tech. No vendor pitches, just awesome open source content on projects such as Linkerd, cert-manager, CockroachDB, Pulumi, Polaris, and Goldilocks. Check out last KubeCrash’s talks to get a sense of what to expect.
Why open source
When it comes to enterprise-grade cloud native tooling, DevOps teams often drive the technology choices that are used to build Kubernetes production environments. Broadly recognized as lower cost and more secure than proprietary software, we increasingly see engineers gravitate toward freely available open source. Open source can also be notably easier to integrate and support than closed source solutions, which is why engineers love using them.
In short, open source has become vital to any modern technology stack. KubeCrash aims to help engineering teams develop the needed skill set to effectively leverage these technologies in their production environments. During these two half-day knowledge sharing and virtual learning sessions for developers, reliability engineers, cloud security specialists, and platform engineers, will learn directly from the maintainers of some of the most sought-after open source projects.
The KubeCrash program
Join us for a schedule packed with great content and actionable insights directly from thought leaders and the teams that maintain some of the ecosystem’s most popular open source projects.
