KyvernoCon

KyvernoCon is a half-day co-located event focused on advancing knowledge, adoption, and collaboration around the Kyverno project and Cloud Native Policy as Code. As policy as code becomes central to securing, optimizing, automating, and scaling cloud-native infrastructure, KyvernoCon will bring together platform engineers, security and compliance professionals, DevOps practitioners, open-source maintainers, and ecosystem partners to share real-world insights and explore the evolving role of policy as code.

This event will feature deep dives into production use cases, policy-writing best practices, automation techniques, developer experience, and integration patterns with other CNCF and security-focused projects. KyvernoCon aims to empower attendees with actionable knowledge and cultivate a stronger, more connected policy-as-code community.

This event is one of our KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe CNCF-hosted Co-located Events. In-person attendees have the option to register for an All-Access In-Person KubeCon + CloudNativeCon pass that will include entry to ALL CNCF-hosted co-located events + KubeCon + CloudNativeCon.

Please check back — registration will open in October.
