KubeCon NA 2022 Prep: Co-located Events Everywhere
Co-located Events
With the cloud native computing foundations flagship event KubeCon only two weeks away, tension is building at the bevy of talks and learning that will be taking place. However, if you are only coming for the main conference you are missing out. One of the many benefits of KubeCon are the cloud native communities co-located events that happen a day or two before. Technologists from leading open source projects will conduct deep dive all day events specifically for you to learn, grow, and ask questions.
KubeCon is ridiculously fun and and like bajillion conferences in one. So we’ve gone ahead and listed out the events and put them here to help you get the full picture of what’s available and decide how best to use your time. There are over 20 co-located events to choose from, so take a look below and sign up as events will sell out quickly.

Cloud Native SecurityCon - Oct 24 & 25
#cnscon
Cloud Native SecurityCon is designed to foster collaboration, discussion and knowledge sharing of cloud native security projects and how to best use these to address security challenges and opportunities.
NOTE: CNCF has spun off Cloud Native Security Con into a separate event beginning Feb 2023 in Seattle! You don’t want to miss this.
BackstageCon - Oct 24
#backstagecon
BackstageCon is a one-day conference focused on all things Backstage: an open platform for building developer portals. At BackstageCon, we’ll provide a vendor-neutral space for collaboration and learning centered on improving developer experience and effectiveness through open source technologies.
Cloud Native eBPF Day - Oct 24
#cnebpf
eBPF is transforming Cloud Native. Co-located with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, eBPF Day is a vendor-neutral conference that explores this transformational technology and its impact on the future of Cloud Native.
By making the Linux kernel programmable, eBPF has resulted in the development of a completely new generation of tooling in areas such as networking, security, application profiling/tracing, and performance troubleshooting.
Cloud Native Wasm Day - Oct 24
The emergence and adoption of WebAssembly as a cloud native platform, embedded into application, and as cloud native applications demonstrates the power and possibility of Cloud Native technologies and WebAssembly to be Better Together.
ServiceMeshCon - Oct 25
#servicemeshcon
ServiceMeshCon is a vendor-neutral conference on service mesh technologies. Topics include getting started with and adopting a mesh, lessons learned from production deployments, and technical sessions from service mesh maintainers.
PrometheusDay - Oct 25
#promcon
The intent of this day is to provide a vendor-neutral space to learn about Prometheus. It’s intended as a more 101 & introductional day, as opposed to a PromCon with deeper technology.
The Continuous Delivery Foundation is hosting two great events at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America:
Spinnaker Summit - Oct 24 & 25
The sixth annual Spinnaker Summit will be co-located with KubeCon in Detroit on October 24-25, 2022. The Summit will bring together a global community of collaborators, focused on the future of Spinnaker, the open-source continuous delivery platform. The event will include hands-on workshops, keynotes, happy hours, and more. Targeted toward developers, architects, operators, and technical leaders, this event will be a great place to share knowledge and build connections.
Continuous Delivery Summit - Oct 25
#CDSUMMIT
CD Summit aims to connect the Continuous Delivery community—from leaders, industry experts, practitioners, and open source developers—to allow them to share and discuss how to improve the world’s capacity to deliver software with security and speed.
Open Observability Day - Oct 24
@PrometheusIO @fluentd @opentelemetry @OpenMetricsIO
Open Observability Day (#OpenO11yDay) fosters collaboration, discussion, and knowledge sharing of cloud-native observability projects (including but not necessarily limited to Prometheus, Fluentd, Fluent Bit, OpenTelemetry, and OpenMetric), as well as vendor-neutral best practices for addressing observability challenges. Sessions include a keynote, panel discussions, workshops, lightning talks, and individual presentations. This event is intended both for audiences that are new to observability as well as for seasoned practitioners.
Kubernetes on Edge Day - Oct 25
#K8SEDGE #K8SEDGEDAY #EdgeComputing
Kubernetes on Edge Day brings together developers and adopters across the entire cloud native ecosystem to share their lessons learned in building, breaking, and bettering their edge infrastructure. Any developer interested in learning how to deploy Kubernetes and cloud native projects at the edge should attend.
Edge Computing will be 4x larger than cloud and will generate 75% of data worldwide by 2025. With hardware and software spread across hundreds or thousands of locations, the only feasible way to manage these distributed systems are the simple paradigms around observability, loosely coupled systems, declarative APIs, and robust automation, that have made cloud native technologies so successful in the cloud.
Kubernetes Batch + HPC Day -Oct 24
Processing data creates insight and helps make the world a better place. With a renowned focus on batch workloads for HPC, AI/ML in Kubernetes we want to bring together a community of experts – open source contributors, practitioners, researchers, and end users who want to make Kubernetes the best tool to manage infrastructure for research, training and scientific use cases.
The conference is targeted at Cloud Native and Kubernetes users looking to improve how they manage their IT infrastructure for batch workloads. Kubernetes platform teams, research and data science teams each should find content that is relevant to their interests.
