About us
๐ Weโve Rebranded: Introducing KSUG.AI! ๐คโ๏ธ๐ณ
Formerly K8SUG, we are now KSUG.AI โ KubeSmart & AI User Group ๐
As the cloud-native landscape continues to evolve, so has our communityโs vision. Our focus has expanded to include not just Kubernetes, but also Multi-Cloud, Cloud Native architectures, and AI/ML workloads.
๐ Whether you're joining us in-person or online from anywhere in the world, KSUG.AI is the place for developers, architects, and platform engineers who are building the future with Kubernetes.
๐ฌ We dive deep into:
- Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud migration
- Real-world experiences with OpenShift, vanilla K8s, and managed Kubernetes (on-premises and in the cloud)
- Building, securing, operating, and managing Kubernetes clusters
- Backup and disaster recovery strategies for containers
- And now, the intersection of Kubernetes with AI and ML
๐ฅ Who should join?
Anyone using or planning to adopt Kubernetesโwhether you're in DevOps, Platform Engineering, SRE, or AI/MLโwill benefit from the shared knowledge and collaboration in this community.
