About us
Cloud Native Austin is the official CNCF Cloud Native and Kubernetes meetup for Austin, Texas.
Our official channel for events is
https://ocgroups.dev/cncf/group/3up7rjk
And please follow our LinkedIn on linkedin.com/company/k8sAustin .
We host talks from anyone doing cool things with Kubernetes and Cloud Native technologies, including companies using K8s in production or vendors who are pushing the boundaries of what Cloud Native can do.
Presentations are demo focused and not sales pitches.
This group follows these three central ideas:
• We believe in open sponsorships, so anyone can cover the cost of food, space, and travel for speakers. To not price out smaller vendors, sponsorship prices are not set beyond the cost. Organizations donating speakers, food/drinks, or space will automatically count as sponsors for the event.
• We believe in democratized organization, so anyone in the Kubernetes community that wants to help organize can be a part of process.
• We believe that all Cloud Native Meetups should be democratic and those that do not allow others to take part in organizing and sponsoring are not in the spirit of open source.
To become an organizer, sponsor, or speaker, please reach out to us!
