SAN FRANCISCO – September 15, 2016 – The Cloud Native Computing Foundation, which is advancing the development of open source software stacks that orchestrate containers of microservices, today announced initial programming and speakers for CloudNativeCon and co-located events KubeCon and PrometheusDay, taking place November 8-9 in Seattle.
CloudNativeCon will bring together leading contributors in cloud native applications and computing, containers, microservices, central orchestration processing, and related projects to further industry education. Co-located with KubeCon and PrometheusDay, attendees will be able to attend a full range of technology sessions that support the cloud native ecosystem.
During KubeCon, attendees will have the opportunity to meet with leading Kubernetes technologists, from multiple open source cloud native communities, working with one of the highest velocity open source projects. Kubernetes use has exploded in the last year and so has the desire for many to further their education. KubeCon will bring together this quickly growing community to advance their knowledge of Kubernetes use with containers and cloud native architectures. Similarly, PrometheusDay will feature technical talks covering major Prometheus adopters, leading expert contributor insights, and a full range of technologies that support open source monitoring technology in the cloud native ecosystem.
“Cloud native computing can be a very fragmented process, as the architecture departs from traditional enterprise application design,” said Dan Kohn, executive director of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. “Our new flagship event CloudNativeCon will be able to build on the great following and momentum KubeCon has already established. The event will squarely focus on helping developers better understand how to easily and quickly assemble these moving parts by driving alignment among different cloud native technologies and platforms.”
A panel featuring developers involved with MidoNet, Contiv Calico, and Flannel will share how they have implemented their own networking for Kubernetes and offer unique perspectives on how their respective projects augment native Kubernetes networking. “Kubernetes Networking Panel: Collaborate on the Spec, Compete on Execution,” will feature panel moderator and Top Women in Cloud winner Susan Wu, director of technical marketing at Midokura.
Additionally, the schedule includes a mix of engaging sessions, case studies, tutorials and lightning talks, featuring the following presenters:

About Cloud Native Computing Foundation
Cloud native computing uses an open source software stack to deploy applications as microservices, packaging each part into its own container, and dynamically orchestrating those containers to optimize resource utilization. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) hosts critical components of those software stacks including Kubernetes and Prometheus; brings together the industry’s top developers, end users, and vendors; and serves as a neutral home for collaboration. CNCF is part of The Linux Foundation. For more information about CNCF, please visit: https://cncf.io/.
