This was my first time attending KubeCon. I received a DanKon Scholarship to attend the conference virtually. Kubecon + CloudNativeCon is one of the biggest conferences where Developers, users, and Companies who are adopting the Cloud Native Solutions gather to share knowledge, gain insights, network and have fun. KubeCon is a great place to learn about current trends and new technologies in the Cloud ecosystem.

There are virtual booths provide extra curriculum activity 📢to use free software tools, demos about scaling, migrating, cluster creation, microservices, security and lots of amazing open source tools and also provide many swags 🎁 and giveaways🎊.
