1KubeCon’s Europe 2018 Event Highlights Kubernetes’ Progress, Expansion
KubeCon and CloudNativeCon Europe 2018 ran from May 2-4 at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark. The event showcased the latest developments in the cloud-native market, which has the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration system at its core. Among the highlights of the event were multiple sessions on security, including an update on the latest security additions to Kubernetes and new projects including Secure Production Identity Framework For Everyone (SPIFFE). Users also took to the stage to sing Kubernetes’ praises. Engineers from CERN detailed how they use Kubernetes at massive scale, and the Financial Times told how its move to Kubernetes improved operational efficiency. In this slide show, eWEEK looks at some of the highlights of the KubeCon and CloudNativeCon Europe 2018 event.
