Conf42 Cloud Native 2027

Conf42 Cloud Native 2027 is a free online conference on Thursday 8 April 2027, part of a Conf42 theme that has run every year since 2021. Since Conf42 dropped its separate Kube Native event after 2025, this is where much of the series' Kubernetes content now lands, alongside the platform engineering edition in November. The format is one day of pre-recorded talks that stream on YouTube at a set time and stay on demand. The 2026 edition had 28 talks grouped around cloud security and compliance, cloud native architecture and microservices, AI and agents in the cloud, multi-cloud and migration, data and storage, observability and reliability, and cost, performance and scaling; 2025 was larger at 74. Speakers came from Adobe, AWS, Salesforce, ServiceNow, IBM, Dell Technologies, Zscaler, Citi, Wells Fargo and Walmart, so expect enterprise migration and architecture stories rather than deep project internals. The call for papers on cfp.ninja is open until 11 March 2027. Attendance is free, talks are in English, and speakers present remotely. A good fit for engineers moving workloads to containers or between clouds who want a free day of case studies.
