Two 3-hour deep-dive workshops on Day 1 morning covering GitOps+AIOps and real-time observability.
Connect with 200+ engineers, architects, and leaders from across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
Hear from engineers at AWS, Microsoft, Google, SEEK, SafetyCulture, CyberCX, and more.
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.
Cloud architects, solutions engineers, and technical leads designing scalable cloud-native platforms. Gain architectural patterns and best practices from practitioners across the industry.
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 morning: Monday 9 November 2026, 9:30-12:30 AEDT. Two parallel 3-hour workshops at ICC Sydney Cockle Bay Room. Bring your own laptop.
Master the future of cloud-native operations in this intensive hands-on workshop combining GitOps workflows, AI-powered diagnostics with MCP server integration, and EKS observability. Walk away with battle-tested practices for automated deployments and AI-assisted troubleshooting.
Deploy a complete observability stack using ClickHouse, OpenTelemetry, and HyperDX. Ingest and correlate logs, metrics, and application data, then explore powerful querying through both SQL and Lucene-based syntax in the UI.
Five focus areas covering the full spectrum of cloud-native technology.
27 practitioners who shared real-world cloud-native experience at CloudCon Sydney 2025.
CloudCon is exactly what the Australian cloud-native community needed: real engineers sharing real lessons from production, not marketing fluff. I came back with three ideas I could use on Monday morning.
