Cloud Native Days Romania

Our lovely community conference, Cloud Native Days, is coming soon, publishing the details here for more visibility.

Cloud Native Days is a non-profit event, organized pro-bono by community members, super passionate about Kubernetes, cloud, DevOps, and open-source. The agenda is curated by volunteers running open-source meetups and conferences around the world, so there is no marketing, no product selling, just talks and workshops about real technical challenges. If you didn't make it to KubeCon this year, this is an intimate Eastern European option that everyone loves, already at its third edition!
