About us
The longest running and largest community for Cloud Native (inclusive of all CNCF projects, from sandbox to graduation) professionals and enthusiasts in The Netherlands. We now talk about AI too (of course:))! Kubernetes plays a pivotal role in training and inference, so obviously we are very interested in the intersection of Cloud Native&AI.
We organize monthly gatherings where folks from all backgrounds (developers, CxOs, sales, engineers, cooks and more :)) are welcome to share their stories and connect over food, drinks and technical talks; we run regular workshops to introduce anyone that wants to learn to cloud native technologies, including observability, security and AI.

Cloud Native @Kabisa: Running k8s on a container ship
Kabisa, Marconilaan 8 6003 DD, Weert, NLA new meetup in the South!
Have you ever wondered about all the places Kubernetes is running nowadays—and under what circumstances?
Join us for a talk about running Kubernetes on a container ship, followed by a deep dive into finding an upstream kernel bug through debugging K8s networking !The program will go as this:
- 17:00-18:00 Walk-in
- 18:00-18:05 Welcome
- 18:05-18:50 1st Talk: Pascal Widdershoven (Kabisa) Running k8s at sea
- 18:50-19:30 Pizzas
- 19:30-20:15 2nd Talk: Manuel Mascarenhas & Ronald van Zandvoort (ASML): Taking flight with Cilium eBPF – Is that you Icarus?
- 20:15 - 21:30 Networking & drinks
- 21:30 End
1st Talk:
Title: Running k8s at seaDescription:
While keeping your K8s infrastructure running smoothly on land is one thing, taking it out to open waters requires a complete sea-change in engineering. High latency, intermittent connectivity, limited edge power, and harsh physical environments mean you can’t just rely on your standard cloud blueprints when you’re literally floating on the ocean.Speaker: Pascal Widdershoven
2nd Talk:
Title: How to find a kernel network bugDescription:
The power of the kernel in the palm of your
hands comes with great responsibility.
Ever dove so deep into networking for months on end to find a obscure bug that is happening to your systems with no end in sight on what the problem is ?
Our second speakers will give you there horror story about finding and dealing with strange and obscure network bugs that eventually where tracked down to a Linux kernel bug.Speaker: Manuel Mascarenhas & Ronald van Zandvoort
