KubeCon+CloudNativeCon中国2025

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China 2025It was another strong turnout in Hong Kong for KubeCon +CloudNativeCon China. It was clear that the momentum aroundcloud native, AI, observability, and, of course, open source continuesto grow. Fueling many rich sessions, discussions, and hallwayconversations, many of which I had the pleasure of being a part of.There were many new initiatives that foster convergence betweencloud native computing and artificial intelligence. These effortsprovide a broader platform to explore both the technical and ethicaldimensions shaping our collective future. They also underscoreChina’s significant contributions to the CNCF ecosystem, which nowaccounts for approximately 20% of hosted projects.Meeting with so many passionate maintainers, contributors, and endusers in person was not only inspiring but a tangible reminder of theglobal strength of our community. I gained new perspectives andinsights, and I hope you’ll take a moment to reflect and explore whatwe accomplished together.Chris Aniszczyk, CTO CNCF57161CFPs submittedAttendees thanks toDan Kohn ScholarshipFund40Pieces of mediacoverage48%First-time attendees North<1%AmericaEuropeAfricaSouthAmerica3%5%ATTENDEE OVERVIEWWe were thrilled to reconnect with ourcommunity in China, welcoming over 1,000participants to the event in Hong Kong.1,004REGISTRATIONS383COMPANIES REPRESENTEDATTENDEE GEOGRAPHY6% DID NOT RESPOND85%ATTENDANCE RATE<1% TICKET TYPE THROUGH THE YEARSTOP 3 JOB FUNCTIONSDEVELOPERARCHITECT20192021 -Virtual20233,5007,1601,91046%78%54%5%N/A3%8%N/A10%9%2%13%22%5%11%2%>1%2%N/A17%7%N/AN/AN/AN/AN/AN/ADEVOPS/SRE/SYSADMIN THANK YOU TO OURKUBECON + CLOUDNATIVECON CHINA 2025CO-CHAIRSRoby ChenFounder and CEO, DaoCloudCONTENT BREAKDOWNThe KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China 2025 content was shaped under the leadership ofconference co-chairs, Roby Chen, Founder and CEO of DaoCloud, and Vivian Hu, ProductManager at Second State.
