Cloud Native Rejekts & KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026

All about the things I did and sessions I attended at Cloud Native Rejekts and KubeCon/CloudNativeCon EU 2026 in Amsterdam.

This “blog” certainly contains a bunch of tyops. This is what typing the notes blindly in real time get’s you. Every year I tell myself that I will fix them afterwards: To be fair I fix most of them but not all and that’s fine.

How did I get there?

I attended Cloud Native Rejekts and KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam.

Why? Because learning about all new things in the world of cloud is really important and war stories help to avoid mistakes that other’s already made. I enjoyed last year’s experience and the year before, so I wanted to go again.

And I managed to get a free ticket by being accepted as a speaker at the Platform Engineering Day Europe 2026 🥳. (Alto I already convinced my business parter that the company would pay for my ticket before I got the news)

And how does this website get it’s content
