KCDS (Kubernetes Community Days) are community-organized events supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) that focus on cloud native technologies, particularly Kubernetes. These events are designed for education, collaboration, and networking within the open-source and cloud-native communities. KCDs aim to grow and sustain Kubernetes and other Cloud Native communities by offering a platform for local networking and sharing knowledge.

Note: This year, KCD Nigeria will be colocated with OSCAFEST. To attend KCD, you must register via the OSCAFEST 2025 website -https://festival.oscafrica.org. You may RSVP using the link above, however, you must register on the OSCAFEST website to attend the conference.

Focus on Cloud Native Technologies:

They are focused on technologies like Kubernetes, containers, and other related tools, which are all part of the broader cloud native ecosystem.

Purpose:

KCDs aim to foster a sense of community, provide education, and offer networking opportunities for developers and other professionals working with cloud native technologies.

Local and Global Impact:

While KCDs are locally organized, they contribute to the global growth and sustainability of the Kubernetes and broader cloud native communities.
