[CNCF-NBG v23] CNCF Meetup – Becoming a Kubestronaut and extending Kuberntes with KCP

Whether you are looking to accelerate your career with top-tier certifications or want to explore the cutting edge of multi-cluster API management, this meetup has something for you. 📋 The Agenda 🏛️ Talk 1: Extending Kubernetes with KCP – The World Beyond Container Orchestration by Marvin Beckers

The Kubernetes Resource Model (KRM) is incredible at building consistent, high-quality APIs, driving mass adoption through third-party operators. But what happens when we take those exact same API concepts and move beyond standard container orchestration?

Enter kcp (a CNCF Sandbox project). This talk explores how kcp supercharges platforms by introducing a global control plane for service APIs.

The Goal: Turn your internal developer platforms into a seamless, SaaS-like service marketplace.

The Method: Leverage the exact same tools and concepts your developers already know (and mostly love).

The Takeaway: Discover how kcp expands platform engineering past the boundaries of a single cluster, transforming the scale at which platform teams and service providers operate.

🎖️ Talk 2: Golden Kubestronaut – Was steckt dahinter? (Presented in German) by Thomas Börger

Der Weg zum Golden Kubestronaut führt durch nahezu das gesamte Cloud-Native-Ökosystem. Es ist die ultimative Auszeichnung für Kubernetes-Experten, aber wie meistert man diese Mammutaufgabe?

In diesem Vortrag schlüsseln wir das Geheimnis auf:

Der Überblick: Vorstellung der verschiedenen CNCF-Zertifizierungen und ihrer jeweiligen technischen Schwerpunkte.

Die Praxis: Echte Erfahrungen, wertvolle Tipps und die größten Stolpersteine aus einer erfolgreichen, persönlichen Zertifizierungsreise.

Das Ziel: Dein konkreter Fahrplan, um selbst den "Kubestronaut"-Status zu erreichen.

🤝 Networking & Community

As always, there will be plenty of time between and after the talks to grab a drink, chat with the speakers, and network with fellow cloud-native enthusiasts from the region.

Format: This event features presentations in both English and German (as indicated in the titles).

Spaces are limited, so make sure to RSVP to secure your spot! We look forward to seeing you there!
