Calling all OpenShift, Kubernetes and technology enthusiasts in Auckland! Let's have an end of year community networking and gathering over drinks and refreshments plus swags to give away!

We have 2 insightful talks from the Auckland community:

**Talk 1**
Join Umer Muhammad and Sam Sun as they take you on an exciting journey from virtualization to containerization. They’ll unveil design artifacts from their cloud-native transformation and dive into innovative approaches for designing and deploying unified cloud platforms. You’ll gain real-world insights into building a horizontal infrastructure that seamlessly supports both IT and network workloads.

As a bonus, they’ll explore end-to-end automation across multiple layers of infrastructure, showcasing how automation is reshaping the future of cloud-native environments.

This is your chance to not only learn cutting-edge strategies but also share your ideas and contribute to the evolution of next-generation infrastructure platforms for IT and network workloads.

**Talk 2**
Mandi Buswell, Principal specialist solution architect at Red Hat will talk about OpenShift Virtualisation and the possibilities that await on your infrastructure modernization journey.

As businesses embrace digital transformation and move towards containerized architectures, virtualization administrators must adapt to these changes. With OpenShift Virtualization, teams can take advantage of infrastructure that allows VMs and containers to be managed by the same set of tools, on a single unified platform.
