KCD Auckland - New Zealand 2025
KCD are regional events that bring together hundreds of IT executives, cloud operators and technology providers to discuss cloud computing and to learn about Kubernetes and other cloud native technologies. These annual events are supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and are organized by a community of local cloud native user groups and supporting companies.
We’re thrilled to announce that the 2025 Cloud Native Summit will host Kubernetes Community Days (KCD) New Zealand as a co-located event on April 28, 2025, in Auckland! This collaboration with CNCF and The Linux Foundation highlights more than a decade of community-driven work in the ANZ region, and we’re incredibly grateful for that support. With your involvement, we can continue growing and strengthening our ecosystem, fostering a space where everyone can learn, collaborate, and contribute to the future of the ecosystem.
