The architecture of the infrastructure that cloud native provides sets developers up to build a development lifecycle internally that enables them to quickly build, ship and safely get things running out into the server infrastructure in such a way that the company can maintain high velocity. However, being cloud native requires a broad set of components to work together and an architecture that departs from traditional enterprise application design. This is a very complicated, fragmented process and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation aims to help make it simpler to assemble these moving parts by driving alignment among technologies and platforms.

CloudNativeCon gathers leading technologists from multiple open source cloud native communities to further the education and advancement of cloud native computing.

Who Attends?

1,500+ developers, architects and technical leaders, CIOs, CTOs, press and analysts will gather for the inaugural CloudNativeCon North America, along with all CNCF co-located events.

Benefits of Sponsorship:

� Meet with upstream developers and operations experts ranging from hobbyists to startup CTOs, from corporate developer to language designers to senior technology executives from all over the world.

� Learn about the latest features in Docker, Kubernetes, and Cloud Native architectures

� Learn what other companies are doing with cloud native computing.

� Collaborate with engineering managers from other companies.

� Discuss strategic partnerships with technical product managers from other companies.
