PSA: We are now an official CNCF chapter so we REQUIRE attendees to register via our new Event Page
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello fellow Cloud Native and Kubernetes enthusiasts,we are thrilled to announce the fifth Kubernetes & Cloud Native Aachen Meetup! Since fall last year we are hosting our events under the umbrella of an official CNCF chapter.
This also changed how we handle signups. Please head over to our event page CNCF Cloud Native Aachen Presents Aachen Meetup May 2025
on the CNCF Community Portal and RSVP there.Spring is finally around (or will be, when this event takes place)! We're celebrating with two great talks and a bigger venue, hoping to invite in as many of you as possible. We've seen a lot of interest in the events and are very happy to accommodate you all.
Talks:
Our first talk by Tom Wieczorek, software engineer at Mirantis, will bridge the gap between Kubernetes and system administration by going into the details of how Kubernetes interfaces with the Linux kernel and low-level system configuration tools. Ever had an OS upgrade on your Kubernetes cluster go south? Then this is the talk for you!Many companies and individuals are using cloud native software today. But how to take the next step and start contributing to them? What is this "CNCF", anyway? Our second talk by Faseela K and Marvin Beckers, two of our chapter organisers, will provide a guided introduction to the cloud native landscape and how to start contributing to it, using Istio as an example of the many projects hosted by the CNCF.
Venue Information:
Food and drinks will graciously be provided by our amazing hosts at INFORM. We are looking forward to meeting everyone in person again, see you in May.Please be aware that at the location you will first need to drop by the welcome desk and pick up a personalised visitor badge.
