KubeCon + CloudNativeCon is the premier event that focuses on cloud-native technologies and Kubernetes. This year’s European edition took place in person and was completely sold out, with 10,000 attendees. Datadog joined the event as a platinum sponsor, and several of our engineers delivered talks on various topics, ranging from etcd to image signing and verification. In this post, we’ll share more details on these talks, along with our takeaways from the event.

We’ve just recently completed KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023 in Amsterdam, one of the signature events of the year in the cloud native, open source and observability spaces. I was thrilled to be joined by Taylor Dolezal, the Head of Ecosystem for the hosting Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to discuss the insider happenings of KubeCon EU live from Amsterdam for the April 2023 OpenObservability Talks podcast.

The CNCF’s flagship KubeCon Europe 2023 conference in Amsterdam last week was a vibrant sold-out affair that drew more than 10,000 attendees, 58% of whom were new to the conference, with another 2,000 people on the waitlist.
