Keynote Lineup Announced for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe

The keynote lineup for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, happening 23-26 March in Amsterdam, is here! 💥 This year's presenters spotlight the real infrastructure behind the AI era.

With 80% of AI environments running on Kubernetes, cloud native has become the operational backbone of modern AI. AI inference runs on scalable, resilient systems built with CNCF technologies, now powering production environments from large-scale AI platforms to self-driving cars. In Europe, digital sovereignty is moving from discussion to deployment, and CNCF technologies are enabling portable, independent infrastructure built on open standards.

The keynotes will explore how CNCF technologies are accelerating AI innovation while also powering the large-scale transformation required to achieve true digital sovereignty.

Here is a look at what's in store:

Rules of the Road for Shared GPUs: AI Inference Scheduling at Wayve - Mukund Muralikrishnan, Staff Engineer, Wayve
Riding the Waves: Around the World in an Electric Glider - Powered by Nature, Data, and Open Science - Ricardo Rocha, Lead Platforms Infrastructure, CERN & Klaus Ohlmann, Founder, Mountain-Wave-Project
