🌟 About the CNCG#3 Bangkok Meetup: #cTENcf Event

Join the 3rd CNCF Bangkok Community MeetUp for an evening of deep technical exploration into the future of cloud-native platforms powered by AI and open-source innovation, as we celebrate #cTENcf the 10th Anniversary of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)! 🎉

As organizations scale their infrastructure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, the complexity of building reliable, observable, and intelligent systems has never been greater. This meetup brings together leading practitioners and technology experts to share real-world patterns, open-source solutions, and emerging practices that are reshaping modern platform engineering.

What You'll Learn:

• How to architect data platforms that power intelligent applications at scale.

• The journey from cloud-native learner to becoming a Kubestronaut and community leader.

• Implementing advanced Kubernetes networking using Cilium and eBPF.

• Building comprehensive observability pipelines using CNCF tools and OpenTelemetry.

Session Details

18:00-18:30 — Registration & Networking

18:30-18:45 — Welcome to #cTENcf the 10th Anniversary of CNCF Kick-off (by CNCF Bangkok Community Organizer)

18:45-19:15 — Session 1: Building Data Platforms for Intelligent Applications (by TiDB)

Modern AI workloads demand not just data storage but real-time intelligence at scale. In this session, the TiDB team will share open approaches to designing distributed SQL databases for large-scale applications, discussing patterns, performance insights, and how data systems can evolve to support AI-driven workloads—without vendor lock-in.

Focus: Open Data Architecture | Scalability | Real-time Analytics

19:15-19:45 — Session 2: Network Mesh Implementation with Cilium (by Nutanix)

Modern multi-cluster environments require robust and secure networking. This talk explores Cilium container networking and the power of eBPF technology, detailing how the Cilium mesh operates across clusters, covering deployment strategies, technical requirements, key decision points, and addressing common open questions in its implementation.

Focus: Kubernetes Networking | Cilium | eBPF | Multi-Cluster Mesh

19:45-20:15 — Session 3: AIOps in Cloud-Native Environments: From Signals to Automated Action (by AWS)

The evolution of cloud-native operations is AIOps (AI for IT Operations). Building on the massive data generated from monitoring tools, this session will demonstrate how to leverage Machine Learning and Big Data analytics to move beyond simple observability alerting. See how a modern SRE uses AI Agents to automate Predictive Service Management, Real-time Anomaly Detection, and Automated Root Cause Analysis.

Focus: OpenTelemetry | Metrics, Logs & Traces | Platform Observability | SRE Practices

20:15-20:45 — Session 4: Meet the Kubestronaut: From Learner to Leader (Panel Discussion)

The Kubestronaut certification represents the pinnacle of cloud-native expertise. Join this insightful panel discussion with top-tier practitioners who have successfully navigated the challenging landscape of Kubernetes and CNCF technologies. They will share their personal journeys—from their early days as learners to becoming leaders and driving innovation. Learn about the skills, mindset, and contributions that define a Kubestronaut and how you can accelerate your own growth in the cloud-native ecosystem.

Focus: Career Growth | Community Contribution | CNCF Certifications | Leadership in Cloud-Native
