About us
๐ Weโve Rebranded: Introducing KSUG.AI! ๐คโ๏ธ๐ณ
Formerly K8SUG, we are now KSUG.AI โ KubeSmart & AI User Group ๐
As the cloud-native landscape continues to evolve, so has our communityโs vision. Our focus has expanded to include not just Kubernetes, but also Multi-Cloud, Cloud Native architectures, and AI/ML workloads.
๐ Whether you're joining us in-person or online from anywhere in the world, KSUG.AI is the place for developers, architects, and platform engineers who are building the future with Kubernetes.
๐ฌ We dive deep into:
- Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud migration
- Real-world experiences with OpenShift, vanilla K8s, and managed Kubernetes (on-premises and in the cloud)
- Building, securing, operating, and managing Kubernetes clusters
- Backup and disaster recovery strategies for containers
- And now, the intersection of Kubernetes with AI and ML
๐ฅ Who should join?
Anyone using or planning to adopt Kubernetesโwhether you're in DevOps, Platform Engineering, SRE, or AI/MLโwill benefit from the shared knowledge and collaboration in this community.
๐ Follow us and get involved!

PyTorch Conference brings together the people building the open source AI stack โ not just watching it. Find where you fit.
ML & AI Engineers
See how advances across the stack โ frameworks, infra, applications, agents โ change how you build. Meet the engineers solving the same problems you are.Infrastructure & Systems Engineers
Go underneath the model. Deep technical conversations on frameworks, hardware, and inference โ not surface-level talks.Researchers & Students
Watch research move into production, and feed back again. Poster sessions, direct researcher access, industry connections.Technical Leaders
See where the open source AI stack is heading before you commit your roadmap to it. Concentrated ecosystem intelligence and relationships you wonโt get from a blog post.Open Source Contributors
Meet and join the community behind PyTorch, vLLM, DeepSpeed, Ray, Helion, and Safetensors. Build maintainer relationships, find your next contribution.๐ Event Details

Two days of keynotes, technical sessions and workshops on agentic engineering, MCP, evals, security, interoperability, multi-agent systems, and the infrastructure behind production agents.
Engineer agents for production
Hear how teams are approaching agent engineering, evals, observability, reliability, routing, sandboxing, and the infrastructure needed to operate agents beyond initial prototypes.Build with MCP
Follow how MCP is evolving, from protocol changes and migration to server and client implementation, security, and interoperability.Learn from the people building the stack
Hear directly from engineers, researchers, project creators, and open source maintainers working on MCP, agent frameworks, multi-agent systems, developer tooling, and AI infrastructure.Compare approaches
See different architectures, tools, and implementation patterns in use, including where they work, where they fail, and the tradeoffs teams are making.Hands-on workshops
Put the ideas into practice with workshops on human-agent collaboration, agent gateways, security and access boundaries, open infrastructure, observability, and enterprise governance.๐ Event Details
