KubeCon & CloudNativeCon 2019 Barcelona Recap
KubeCon & CloudNativeCon Europe 2019 in Barcelona
KubeCon Europe 2019 took place in Barcelona at the Fira exhibition centre, where the Mobile World Congress also takes place. As Silver Sponsor of the Linux Foundation, VSHN was present with its own booth.
The flagship conference of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation gathered users and technology savvy people from leading open source and cloud communities from Kubernetes to Prometheus, OpenTracing, Fluentd, gRPC, containerd, rkt, CNI, Envoy, Jaeger, Notary, TUF, Vitess, CoreDNS, NATS, Linkerd, Helm, Harbor and etcd from 20 to 23 May 2019 in Barcelona. For four days, like-minded people met to promote the know-how and further development of cloud computing.
We started KubeCon 2019 on Monday, May 20 after first pre-events and talks with the Swiss CNC Get Together Meetup, where we welcomed 80 attendees from Switzerland in a nice tapas bar.
From Tuesday to Thursday, the conference took place with keynotes, breakout sessions and sponsor booth exhibition.

Conclusion
For us the effort to participate at KubeCon & CloudNativeCon 2019 in Barcelona was certainly worthwhile. We made new contacts, learned a lot about the development of the various CNCF projects and gave away no less than 1,000 DevOps T-Shirts, which many people tried on right away.
Back home we organized a KubeCon & CloudNativeCon 2019 Recap Meetup on June 5th, so that everyone who stayed at home could benefit from our impressions.
We are looking forward to the future KubeCon / CloudNativeCons and will certainly be there again. So long, see you next time.
