As AI moves into real-world deployment, platform engineering becomes a core discipline, and data sovereignty grows in importance, the discussions happening here are more relevant than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At UpCloud, we\u2019re continuing to evolve our Managed Kubernetes (UKS) and GPU infrastructure consistently. Our goal is simple: help teams run cloud native workloads that are high-performing, secure, and compliant, without compromising on control over where their data lives. Stop by to see how sovereign cloud infrastructure is taking shape in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why stop by our booth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teams across Europe are being asked to do more with Kubernetes, while also dealing with stricter regulations, rising costs, and increasing architectural complexity. At KCD, we\u2019ll be diving into topics like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>AI workloads, built for Europe<\/strong>: Running modern AI pipelines on Kubernetes while staying aligned with regional compliance and data requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kubernetes that works for platform teams<\/strong>: The latest updates to UKS and how we\u2019re simplifying operations, from scaling to day-to-day cluster management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Designing for resilience and flexibility<\/strong>: Practical approaches to avoiding lock-in and building strategies that span multiple clouds or sovereign environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low latency, closer to users<\/strong>: Supporting edge use cases and performance-sensitive applications with an expanding network of European data centres.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talk to the people who build it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KCD is all about meaningful, technical conversations. That\u2019s why we\u2019re bringing our engineers and product managers, not sales!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve got specific challenges, we&#8217;d love to hear them! Whether it\u2019s handling heavy workloads, or planning a move away from a hyperscaler, we\u2019re happy to dig into the details with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/events\/kubernetes-community-days-helsinki\/#event-registration-form\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/events\/kubernetes-community-days-helsinki\/#event-registration-form\">Meet us there!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join UpCloud at Kubernetes Community Days Helsinki this May 20th!
