Join us for the January 2026 edition of **Cloud Native Copenhagen**, kindly hosted once again by **DR**. This meetup focuses on one of the most pressing challenges in modern Kubernetes platforms: **how to properly secure sensitive workloads and cluster data in cloud-native environments**. **Agenda** 16:30 Doors open, find a seat, network, enjoy 17:00 Welcome by the Cloud Native Copenhagen 17:05 Welcome by Danmarks Radio 17:15 Talk 1 - Unlocking Confidential Computing: An Introduction to Confidential Containers in Kubernetes 18:00 Break with food and drinks 18:45 Talk 2 - Talos KMS: Getting the Russian Doll out of your Cluster 19:30 Snacks, networking 20:00 Thank you for today Talk 1: **Unlocking Confidential Computing: An Introduction to Confidential Containers in Kubernetes** Speaker: Nino Martinez Wael from TDC Erhverv As organizations increasingly move sensitive workloads to the cloud, ensuring data confidentiality during execution has become a critical challenge. Confidential Containers (CoCo), a CNCF sandbox project, addresses this by integrating confidential computing principles into the cloud-native ecosystem. Leveraging Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and hardware-backed security technologies such as Intel TDX, AMD SEV-SNP, and IBM Secure Execution, CoCo enables Kubernetes users to run containerized applications in isolated, attested environments—with few modifications to existing workflows. In this session, we’ll explore: What is Confidential Computing and why it matters? The architecture and trust model behind Confidential Containers. Key features: attestation, pod-centric design, and integration with Kata Containers. Use cases across regulated industries, AI/ML workloads, and multi-tenant environments. A look at the ecosystem and roadmap, and how you can get started. Whether you’re a platform engineer, security architect, or cloud-native enthusiast, this talk will demystify confidential computing and show how CoCo brings stronger guarantees of data confidentiality, integrity, and code integrity to Kubernetes. Talk 2: **Talos KMS: Getting the Russian Doll out of your Cluster** Speaker: Anders Lantz from Eficode While Talos Linux provides robust security tools, features such as disk encryption are not enabled by default. Furthermore, the commonly used encryption settings often give a false sense of safety while leaving critical data exposed to attackers. In this session, we will have a brief overview of the Talos storage layout and then dig into the encryption functionality it offers. We will then examine why standard encryption methods often just "kick the problem down the road" and demonstrate a solution to truly secure your clusters storage.

Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

We are a group of people meeting on Tuesdays to socialize around cooking and eating together. Usually around 40-50 people. Many are international students, but also other people join. The foodclub exist independent of Meetup, we invite you because we have room for a few more people. The food is vegan and made from donated leftover veggies from a local greengrocery. The place has originally hosted leftwing activist groups, and many of the people joining are also involved in political groups. If you want to join for chopping and cooking, we will be doing that from 3 to 6 pm. It is possible to join part of the time. From 6 to 8pm we are serving food. Donation around 30 kroner. If you are helping out some hours, chopping, cooking or cleaning, you can eat for free. From 8 to 9 - 9:30 pm we are cleaning up the place. We hope to see you in our lovely foodclub <3
