Cloud Native Meetup February 2026
Details
Cloud Native Bergen is pleased to announce the February meetup of 2026🎉
We're moving to Cloud Native Bergen Community Group page at CNCF as our main platform - please join the group and RSVP there🙏
We are back after the Cloud Native Bergen 2025 and some holidays with pizzas, drinks and a new line up of 3 talks.
Please use the CNCF RSVP Link!
16.30 - 17.00 Food, Drinks and Social before the talks start.
17.00 - 17.40 From Waves to Immutable Infrastructure: Running Talos on Ferries at Fjord Line
Speaker: Leif Terje Fonnes
Description:
What if your Kubernetes nodes were installed on moving ships with limited bandwidth, unreliable connectivity, and strict physical access constraints?
At Fjord Line, we operate onboard Kubernetes clusters to support both customer-facing and internal systems — including booking systems, self-service portals, crew solutions. We began with Ubuntu and MicroK8s, but quickly ran into challenges related to security, configuration drift, and maintenance overhead.
This talk covers our migration journey to Talos OS, driven by the need for hardened, immutable, and API-managed infrastructure in extremely constrained environments.
17.50 - 18.30 Why is the dev environment faster than prod?
Speaker: Tore Stendal Lønøy
Description:
This is a story about how naive scheduling in Kubernetes can lead to inefficient and costly Pod placement. The solution improved performance by 175-300% and ensured consistency over time.
I'll describe the initial problem, explain how network latency varies within and between AWS zones, and show how we used Kyverno with a custom lookup-service to inject network topology information into the scheduling process. This allows kube-scheduler to make informed placement decisions.
If you work with latency-sensitive applications on-prem or in the cloud, or just have a keen interest in performance, this is the talk for you!

We aim to be finished with talks at around 19.00.
Those who want are more than welcome to gather in prefered bar after the meetup is finished to continue good discussions over a good drink 🍺
