#KubeCon Europe brought some 🔥 real-world reference architectures, by CERN, Swisscom, and ZEISS Vision! These companies published how they're running #CloudNative in production. Not slides. Not demos. Battle-tested systems. shepherded by the #CNCF End User Technical Advisory Board. 👏 I particularly liked ZEISS Group's Vision Care Order Fulfillment platform. They rebuilt their entire order fulfillment stack, greenfield, with 200+ microservices handling order routing, document generation, and logistics at scale. And the stack hits close to home for me: #Kubernetes, #Dapr, #KEDA, and #OpenTelemetry. Their one honest regret? "In hindsight, we would have standardized on CNCF native components sooner to avoid replacing vendor-specific SDKs mid-project." OpenTelemetry from day one would have saved them real headaches. This is exactly why the CNCF ecosystem matters. Real companies, real scale, open source foundations. And the community in sharing knowledge and best practices. Check the comments for the link to the architectures on the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) website. I've also covered Dapr, KEDA, and OpenTelemetry in depth. If any of these are on your radar, sharing those in the comments as well. 👇
From reference architectures from organizations like LY, SAP and SNCF highlighting Kubernetes + @OpenStack to growing momentum behind @KataContainers for secure, sandboxed workloads, #OpenInfra had a visible and growing presence across #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon EU.
What emerged wasn’t just project awareness, it was a cohesive narrative around how open infrastructure underpins sovereign, scalable, and AI-ready platforms.

Preparing and delivering this presentation with Alexandra for KubeCon+CloudNativeCon Europe was so much fun 🤩 “The Developer’s Nightmare: How To Survive Compliance Checklists (and Still Ship Fast)”. And you? Have you ever met the Guardians of Compliance? #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon

At this years Kubecon in Amsterdam, I had the privilege of speaking about automating self-hosted runners for GitHub and Gitea along side Michael Khunt

Wooo! The recording from my #KubeCon talk is now up on YouTube! This was such a fun talk to give!
