This September, Hamburg once again became the meeting point for the cloud native community, and Kubermatic was right in the middle of it. From KubermaticDay on September 1 to ContainerDays running September 2 to 4, our team spent the week connecting with customers, partners, and fellow builders shaping the future of Kubernetes.
Kicking Things Off with KubermaticDay
Before ContainerDays even opened its doors, we hosted KubermaticDay aboard the MS Bleichen; bringing together speakers, partners, and clients for a day of talks, live interviews, and hands-on demos. It set the tone for a week centered on real conversations about platform engineering, multi-cluster management, and the challenges teams face running Kubernetes at scale.
On Stage at Container Days: Kubermatic Led-Sessions
Our team and collaborators took the stage across several sessions this year, covering everything from agentic infrastructure to large-scale multi-tenancy:
Building Agentic-Ready Infrastructure with KCP Workspaces and API Export — Abubakar Siddiq Ango on scoping AI agent access safely across Kubernetes tenants using KCP and Google’s ADK.
Ctrl+Alt+Deploy: Windows Workloads as a Service powered by KubeVirt — Nicolai Ort and Tobias Schneck on whether KubeVirt is ready to handle enterprise Windows workloads.
Running the Runners: How CNCF Powers GitHub Actions at Scale — Koray Oksay on the shared runner platform behind CI for CNCF projects.
So I Generated Over 3000 SBOMs for the CNCF Ecosystem — Mario Fahlandt on automating supply chain transparency across 3,000+ CNCF sub-projects.
Scaling Kube-Apiserver to Thousands of Tenants – Lessons Learned From kcp — Simon Bein on load-testing kcp across 10,000 logical clusters.
Can You Move Production vSphere VMs to KubeVirt? Yes. Here’s How — Ronny Issac on migrating real-world vSphere workloads to KubeVirt with Forklift.
At the Booth and Beyond
Between sessions, our booth stayed busy with conversations echoing the same themes from the stage: platform engineering adoption, the convergence of VMs and containers, and locking down the software supply chain. It’s always energizing to see how closely the hallway conversations track what’s happening on stage.
Looking Ahead
A big thank you to everyone who attended a session, stopped by our booth, or joined us for dinner. As a sponsor of ContainerDays Hamburg 2026, we’re proud to support a community pushing Kubernetes and cloud native infrastructure forward. If you missed us this time, catch us next at SCCON in Berlin this October.
