The cloud-native community’s flagship conference — Kubernetes, container orchestration, service mesh, and the software layer that drives how workloads land on your hardware.

Container scheduling and resource management directly affect how compute loads distribute across racks and clusters. Understanding Kubernetes resource requests, bin packing, and GPU scheduling helps infrastructure engineers plan capacity, cooling zones, and power provisioning more accurately.

Produced by: Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) / Linux Foundation
Attendance: 12,000+ (typical)
Focus: Kubernetes, containers, service mesh, observability, cloud-native security, platform engineering
Relevance to DC: The orchestration layer that drives workload placement, resource utilization, and multi-cluster operations across DC infrastructure
