Are you as excited as we are for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2024? We can't wait and hope you'll join us for some awesome Microsoft Azure KubeCon + CloudNativeCon related events and activities happening in Salt Lake City.


Azure Kubernetes Service Day (November 12):




Join us to learn best practices for building cloud-native apps and intelligent apps with Kubernetes on Azure!

  • Morning - Presentations: Start the day by learning about the latest on AKS. Learn how AKS streamlines the deployment and management intelligent applications, and gain insights into the best practices across key areas.
  • Afternoon – AKS Lab: Get hands-on with an instructor-led AKS lab and put some of the concepts and ideas from the morning session to practice.

Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, so sign up for Azure Day with Kubernetes- North America 2024 as soon as possible.


KubeCon + CloudNativeCon (Nov 13-15):





And of course, swing by our Microsoft Azure booth #C4 from November 13-15! We'll have short sessions and demos on all things cloud native and AI, and some sweet swag. Don’t forget to pick up your copy of Brendan Burn’s latest Kubernetes Best Practices book and get it signed by him at the Microsoft booth during KubeCrawl on Wednesday!



See below for full details on our KubeCon sessions and booth theater presentations.

Date: Thu November 14, 2024

Start Time: 9:40AM

Room: Hall DE

Title: A Developer’s Guide to Securing Your Software Supply Chain

Speaker: Toddy Mladenov

Abstract: Container images, AI weights, WebAssembly modules, and software packages – what’s the link? They are all examples of some of the many artifacts found throughout a software supply chain. With so many different artifacts, the real question becomes, “Is your software supply chain as secure as your production environment?”

In this keynote, we will navigate the journey of these artifacts from source to production, and showcase how to secure your software at each step of the supply chain using cloud native open-source tooling. With the help of key CNCF projects like in-toto, Notary Project, Ratify, and Copa, you will learn how to ensure your software is secure, consistent, and reliably delivered to production.
