CloudCon Sydney 2026 is organised by KCD Sydney Incorporated, the local chapter of the global Kubernetes Community Days program backed by the CNCF. It brings together over 200 cloud-native practitioners from across Australia and Asia-Pacific for two days of real-world talks, hands-on workshops, and community networking at ICC Sydney.
Our program is community-driven and practitioner-focused. Expect frank conversations about what's working and what isn't in production cloud-native environments today.
Software engineers, platform engineers, SREs, and DevOps practitioners building and operating cloud-native infrastructure. Come for the deep technical sessions and hands-on workshops.

Security engineers, AI/ML practitioners, and data scientists applying cloud-native technologies. Explore security patterns, LLM deployment on Kubernetes, and MLOps best practices.
Day 1: Monday 9 November 2026, 9:30-12:30 AEDT. Two parallel 3-hour workshops at ICC Sydney Cockle Bay Room. Bring your own laptop.
