About this event

SCALE 20X is proud to host Los Angeles' inaugural 2-day KCD on the Thursday and Friday of the event.  Please join us there!

Having long hosted Cloud Native, Kubernetes and container talks, this year SCALE is also hosting the first-ever Kubernetes Community Day in the Los Angeles area.  We plan to have workshops, talks, and lightning talks covering everything Cloud Native.  This will include Kubernetes, Docker, serverless, CI/CD, container security, scaling clouds, operators, Istio, gRPC, Etcd, cgroups, Prometheus, ArgoCD, Kubevirt, WASM, serverless, containerized desktops and much more.

KCD-LA will consist of one day of workshops (including 2-3 workshops) followed by one single-track day of regular sessions.

Registration and Travel

Registration for SCALE 20x is now open on the SCALE website.  Your registration to SCALE includes KCD-LA.  You must register for the "SCALE pass"; the "Expo Pass" will not get you into KCD-LA.
