Cloud Native Hyderabad September Meetup
Welcome to another exciting edition of the Cloud Native Hyderabad Meetup!
This September, we are thrilled to collaborate with ADP to bring you an action-packed session focused on Kubernetes Operations, Observability, Platform Engineering and Intelligent Scaling.
As Kubernetes deployments mature, the operational challenges shift. Break-glass emergency access needs to evolve into structured, auditable runbooks. Traditional observability struggles when AI agents return HTTP 200 with broken responses. And static scaling strategies can no longer keep pace with the dynamic nature of modern workloads.
This month's meetup tackles the operational reality of running production Kubernetes at scale. We'll explore how to secure operational workflows with Argo, why AI-native workloads demand new observability patterns beyond traditional metrics, and how to combine Karpenter, KEDA, and Kyverno for intelligent, policy-driven autoscaling.
Whether you're managing security workflows, instrumenting AI workloads, or optimizing cluster costs, this session will give you actionable takeaways
