Cloud Native Communities in Action: How Japan Shaped Its Path to KubeCon
Abstract
This session will discuss the importance of local communities in bridging the gap between local developers and the global cloud-native ecosystem.
Since the beginning of KubeCon history back in 2015, adding new regions to the KubeCon calendar is a rare milestone, and we imagine many attendees may wonder what it takes to bring this flagship event to their own regions.
By focusing on the Japanese community’s journey, we will examine the ongoing efforts to build strong networks while facing challenges like language, timezone and regional barriers that continue to hinder international engagement.
This panel will also share the unique challenges faced by Asian communities, such as linguistic and cultural differences, and what lessons attendees can take back to strengthen their own regional ecosystems—and perhaps even host KubeCon in their region one day.
