What is KubeCrash?

Now in its sixth round, KubeCrash is a female-created and -led, open source conference and is hosted virtually just a few weeks prior to the KubeCon event by six cloud native companies who teamed up to bring you top-notch, crash courses in cloud native tech. Check out the talks from KubeCrash Spring 2024 to get a sense of what to expect.

What's New in Platform Engineering circa 2024

At KubeCrash Fall 2024 you'll learn how to navigate the hype around platform engineering solutions and explore best practices for building and integrating new tools, with deep dives into optimizing and simplifying Kubernetes for developers using AI.

Giving Back with Open Source and Deaf Kids Code

KubeCrash continues its commitment to the open source community and giving back. All KubeCrash sessions focus on open source projects, empowering you to leverage freely available, secure, and customizable technologies.

And the KubeCrash (and sponsors) commitment goes beyond tech. As with previous KubeCrash events, for every registration KubeCrash will donate $1 to Deaf Kids Code, supporting their mission of empowering deaf and hard-of-hearing children through coding education.

Why open source

Intuit believes very strongly in open source technology, and supports and contributes significantly to projects within the CNCF landscape and beyond! When it comes to enterprise-grade cloud native tooling, DevOps teams often drive the technology choices to build Kubernetes production environments. In short, open source has become critical to any modern technology stack.

KubeCrash aims to help engineering teams develop the needed skill sets to leverage these technologies in their production environments effectively. During these knowledge-sharing, virtual learning sessions, developers, reliability engineers, cloud security specialists, and platform engineers will learn directly from the maintainers of some of the most popular open source projects.

The KubeCrash Program:

Get ready for a jam-packed schedule featuring expert talks from leading companies like The New York Times, Intuit, and members of the CNCF Deaf & Hard of Hearing and Blind and Visually Impaired Working Groups.

You'll also hear directly from industry leaders and gain practical knowledge you can implement in your own work. Here's a sneak peek at some of the exciting sessions:

  • Opening keynote: Platform Engineering at The New York Times
  • Lighting talk: Introducing the CNCF's Blind and Visually Impaired Working Group
  • A Lightboard Talk About Platform Engineering
  • A Lighting Talk Introducing the CNCF Cloud Native AI Working Group
  • An End User Panel: Avoiding Big Mistakes - Navigating Platform Engineering Challenges
  • Speed Up Security: Unleash DevOps Productivity with Zero Trust Network Access
  • Mastering Kubernetes: Strategies for Optimal Performance and Scalability
  • Fail Smarter, Fix Faster: Gen AI's Role in Streamlining Build Debugging
  • Closing keynote: Accelerating Developer Velocity at Intuit: Our Platform Engineering Journey with GenAI and Argo

Block your calendars for these Intuit sessions

The team at Intuit was thrilled to be asked to deliver the closing keynote, and share the many learnings we’ve discovered while using GenAI to unlock developer potential. Here are some other sessions you can expect from the Intuit team:

  • Simplifying Kubernetes for Developers - a talk that will give our end-user perspective on using Kubernetes. Learn why abstracting networking compute infrastructure and utilizing AI-powered application autoscaling, enables developers to focus more on what they excel at: writing code.

  • An end user panel covering the do’s and don'ts we’ve learned while building our AI-driven platform.

  • Hear how Argo and other open source technology can be integrated to build your AI-native application platform, increasing developer velocity by 25%.

Don't miss out!

It’s virtual. It’s free! And it’s for a great cause! Register today and join us on October 9th for a day of learning, networking, and staying ahead of the curve in platform engineering.

See you there!
