This virtual conference explores how you can run modern applications better across hybrid, multicloud, and edge environments. You'll hear from Nutanix leadership and technical experts on building production-ready container platforms that unify VM and container management without vendor lock-in.
The opening keynote sets the strategic context, followed by four breakout sessions tailored to your role and experience level. Whether you're evaluating Kubernetes for the first time, managing stateful applications at scale, or architecting AI infrastructure, you'll find content that speaks directly to your challenges.
Attendees will discover how the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) solution simplifies Day 2 operations, integrates enterprise-grade data services natively, and delivers consistent governance across edge, on-premises, and cloud environments.
Learning objectives
- Understand how to operationalize Kubernetes for production workloads with built-in resilience and security.
- Explore how unified VM and container management reduces operational silos and complexity.
- Learn practical strategies for managing stateful applications, disaster recovery, and data services in Kubernetes environments.
Who should attend
IT leaders, platform engineers, cloud architects, and infrastructure teams responsible for modernizing applications and managing Kubernetes at scale.
If you're running containers today or planning to this event is for you.
KEYNOTE | Architecting for innovation: The "Anywhere" platform for mission-critical cloud native (15 min)
We have entered a new era where cloud native is the engine of business transformation. This keynote explores how to operationalise the future of enterprise IT, outlining a strategy that prioritises choice and control. You'll hear the architectural blueprint for delivering innovation without compromise—running legacy applications, modern microservices, and AI workloads side-by-side across edge, on-premises, and cloud environments.
Speaker: Dan Ciruli, VP & GM Cloud Native, Nutanix
For: CIOs, IT directors, infrastructure leaders
Explore how to build a business case for cloud native infrastructure that prioritises cost control, data sovereignty, and compliance. Learn strategies for avoiding vendor lock-in, optimising cloud spend across hybrid environments, and preparing infrastructure for AI workloads. This session addresses the strategic decisions that shape your organisation's infrastructure roadmap.
For: Virtualization admins, infrastructure operations teams, teams new to containers
Demystify Kubernetes from an infrastructure operations perspective. This session bridges the gap between virtualisation and containerisation, showing how to build, secure, and scale Kubernetes clusters using operational patterns you already know. Practical guidance for teams transitioning from traditional infrastructure to cloud native.
For: Platform engineers, DevOps leads, cloud architects
Address the Day 2 operational challenges of running stateful workloads on Kubernetes. Learn how to integrate enterprise-grade data services natively, manage persistent storage reliably, deploy databases on Kubernetes without operational headaches, and design disaster recovery strategies that work across hybrid environments.
For: Advanced platform engineers, architects, infrastructure strategists
Explore multi-cluster governance, fleet management, and advanced GitOps patterns for distributed Kubernetes environments. Learn how to maintain consistent policy enforcement and operational visibility across edge, on-premises, and cloud deployments without centralised bottlenecks or sacrificing developer velocity.
