This year, we were pleased to send our colleagues Nico Meisenzahl<\/a>, Philip Welz<\/a>, and first-time attendee Stephan H\u00fcttner<\/a> to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon<\/a> Europe 2025 in London. The event was an incredible experience where we connected with fascinating individuals and gained valuable insights into the latest trends in the cloud-native ecosystem. Here are some of the highlights of the whole KubeCon week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloud Native Rejekts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cloud Native Rejekts<\/a> always feels like a class reunion, bringing together familiar faces and new connections from the cloud-native community. Organized primarily by Microsoft Azure, this unique event offers a second chance to speakers whose proposals didn\u2019t make it to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. With its open and welcoming atmosphere, it\u2019s the perfect setting to meet new people, exchange ideas, and stay updated on the latest trends in the cloud-native ecosystem. One of our favorite aspects of the event is the 5-minute lightning talks – short, impactful sessions that ignite curiosity and inspire excitement about fresh ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azure Day with Kubernetes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Azure Day with Kubernetes provided an excellent opportunity to dive into the latest advancements in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and engage directly with members of the AKS product teams through interactive roundtable discussions. The Microsoft teams shared valuable insights into the future of AKS, and the networking product group truly impressed us with their outstanding work on new features and improvements. Here are some of the highlights we\u2019d like to share:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
