Meet Cyso at Dutch Cloud Native Day 2026

AI is no longer a bolt-on to cloud native infrastructure. It's changing how platform teams design, scale and secure what they run. The organisers put it plainly with this year's theme, "Cloud Native in the Age of AI", and that's exactly the conversation we want to have on 29-30 October at Supernova, Jaarbeurs Utrecht. Our team will be there to talk Kubernetes, platform engineering, and what AI infrastructure actually looks like once it leaves the whiteboard.
What's on the programme
Two days, and the theme leans hard into AI: Kubernetes, platform engineering, open source, automation and AI infrastructure, with hands-on workshops on day one and keynotes and case studies on day two.
That mix matches what we keep running into. Teams spent the last few years hardening their Kubernetes platforms, and now they're being asked to run AI workloads on top of them. GPU scheduling, data locality and model-serving pipelines bring constraints a typical microservices stack never had, and most teams discover that the hard way.
Why we sponsor Dutch Cloud Native Day
Dutch Cloud Native Day is vendor neutral, community-organised, and backed by Stichting Cloud Native Netherlands. That matters to us, because we're a Kubernetes Certified Service Provider and we built our platform on open source foundations for a specific reason: AI infrastructure shouldn't mean vendor lock-in or a one-way ticket to a US hyperscaler. Our cloud runs on open source technology, so teams get a base to deploy and scale AI workloads while keeping control over where their data sits and how their infrastructure is built.
Sponsoring this community comes from the same place. We'd rather back the people building this stuff than talk about it from a stage.
Come find our booth
We'll have a booth across both days, and we genuinely want to hear what you're wrestling with. Keeping AI workloads inside EU borders. Moving models off a hyperscaler onto a platform you actually control. Or the more basic question of whether Kubernetes is even the right substrate for your AI stack. Drop by, grab a coffee, and let's get into it.
