Schedule Announced for the 10th Anniversary KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America Hosted by CNCF
Get ready for an exciting event as KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 approaches! This year's gathering, taking place in Atlanta, Georgia from November 10-13, 2025, marks the 10-year anniversary of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and celebrates a decade of community-driven innovation and cloud native progress.
The schedule for the event is now available, and it promises to be packed with insightful sessions, keynotes, and workshops. Here are some of the key themes and focus areas you can expect:
Cloud Native Infrastructure
Kubernetes, which celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2024, has become the backbone of modern infrastructure, serving as the foundational layer for many environments. The event will delve deep into the latest cloud native ecosystem technologies, with Kubernetes at its core.
Artificial Intelligence
There will be a special focus on AI with sessions on deploying AI and machine learning pipelines in Kubernetes, as well as new CNCF conformance programs targeting AI workloads.
Observability and GitOps
Dedicated co-located events like Observability Day and GitOpsCon will address key operational and automation trends in cloud native environments.
Community and Inclusivity
Talks on scaling cloud native adoption, enterprise Kubernetes community building, and fostering inclusivity in open source will be a significant part of the event.
AI + ML Track
The AI + ML track focuses on deploying, managing, and evolving machine learning systems in production using cloud native technologies.
The Cloud Native Experience Track
This track focuses on sustaining open source growth and building durable, inclusive communities.
Other Highlights
The Platform Engineering track emphasizes the importance of managing the complexity of cloud native systems by streamlining operations, scaling infrastructure reliably, and building internal platforms that accelerate development. The Operations + Performance track focuses on scaling Kubernetes and adapting operational models to maintain speed, reliability, and control.
In addition to these, the event will include 300 keynotes, lightning talks, maintainer track sessions, CFP breakout sessions, and 40 CNCF Project Lightning Talks.
Scholarship Program and Sponsorship Opportunities
The Dan Kohn scholarship program provides complimentary registration to support community members from underrepresented groups. Companies interested in sponsoring KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America should submit a request to [email protected] by Friday, August 22.
