KubeVela in Action: From OSS Origins to Enterprise-Scale Platform Engineering

Join us for a deep dive into KubeVela, the open-source, modern application delivery platform that’s redefining how platform and developer teams operate on Kubernetes.

Unlike traditional approaches that burden developers with infrastructure complexity, KubeVela leverages the Open Application Model (OAM) to cleanly separate concerns, enabling platform engineers to define reusable abstractions while giving developers a simple, declarative interface to ship and manage applications.

Learn how KubeVela was born out of the challenges faced by hyperscale infrastructure teams, and how companies like Guidewire are using it to build and operate robust internal platforms that serve hundreds of global development teams.

SPEAKERS
In this special session, you’ll hear from one of the original contributors as well as real-world enterprise adopters of KubeVela, offering a rare 360° perspective on the technology.

• Fog Dong – Senior Engineer at BentoML, KubeVela Maintainer, CNCF Ambassador, and LFAPAC Evangelist
  Fog has a rich background in cloud-native and AI infrastructure. Previously instrumental in developing Alibaba’s large-scale Serverless Application Engine workflows as well as the ByteDance cloud-native CI/CD platform, she now focuses on driving efficient AI app development at BentoML. Fog’s leadership was also highlighted as a co-chair at KubeCon + CN 2023, where she contributed her expertise to the open source cloud-native community.
• Anoop Gopalakrishnan & Jerome Guionnet – VP of Engineering & Chief Architect, Guidewire Cloud Platform
  Anoop and Jerome will share how Guidewire is leveraging KubeVela to power the Guidewire Cloud Platform (GWCP). You’ll get an inside look at how their team scaled KubeVela for global enterprise use—integrating with technologies like Crossplane, Helm, and Kubernetes to deliver reliability, security, and velocity to hundreds of development teams worldwide.
