A recap of KubeCon Amsterdam 2026: key numbers, major trends (agentic AI, digital sovereignty, Platform Engineering), and a selection of talks worth watching.

An enriching edition, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 in London showcased a cloud-native ecosystem that has reached maturity: Kubernetes manages GPUs even better, while OpenTelemetry, GitOps, and platform engineering have become de facto standards. This blog revisits these major trends, deciphers the key figures, and draws lessons from a conference that demonstrates an ecosystem that is both mature, innovative, and resolutely future-oriented.

SoKube’s key takeaways from KubeCon Europe 2022: Kubernetes at scale, Cluster API, eBPF, OpenTelemetry, GitOps, Chaos Engineering and the rise of FinOps.
