KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026

You can expect an engaging week focused on the next chapter for cloud native computing. With AI adoption maturing, platform engineering taking center stage, and data sovereignty under closer examination than ever, the conversations in Amsterdam couldn’t be more relevant.

With our Managed Kubernetes (UKS) and AI-ready GPU infrastructure evolving rapidly, UpCloud is deepening its commitment to the open-source ecosystem. We are helping organizations stay secure, compliant, and performant at scale while keeping data firmly within Europe. Join us for an exclusive view into what sovereign cloud infrastructure looks like today, and where it’s headed next.

Why you should visit us

Across Europe, organisations are navigating growing complexity as they work to maintain data Across Europe, developers and IT leaders are navigating growing complexity as they work to maintain data sovereignty without sacrificing the agility of Kubernetes. At KubeCon, we’ll explore:

• The reality of Sovereign AI: How to build and deploy generative AI pipelines that are both performant and compliant with strict European regulations.
• Managed Kubernetes, evolved: A look at our latest control plane features, autoscaling capabilities, and how we are removing the “maintenance burden” from platform engineers.
• Resilience in a shifting landscape: The most critical vulnerabilities organizations face today, from vendor lock-in to geopolitical risk, and how a multi-cloud or sovereign cloud strategy addresses them.
• Performance at the Edge: How our expanding data centre network empowers low-latency applications and edge computing use cases.

Alongside our product experts and engineers, we’ll unpack what’s changing in the CNCF landscape, the risks these shifts create, and the opportunities they present for organizations committed to strengthening their digital independence..

Connect with the Builders

We know that the best conversations at KubeCon happen when you can dig into the code and architecture. That’s why we aren’t just sending sales representatives; we are bringing the Product Managers and Engineers who actually build UpCloud.

Bring your pain points, and your tough questions. Whether you are struggling to optimize ingress costs, needing advice on persistent storage for stateful sets, or looking to migrate a complex workload from a hyperscaler, our team is ready to discuss potential solutions with you.
