Cloud-native developers and practitioners gathered from around the world to learn, collaborate, and network at KubeCon/CloudNativeCon North America 2023 between November 6th and 9th at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL—myself included. This wasn’t my first time attending—I’ve been coming to KubeCon since 2016—but it was easily one of the most exciting experiences I’ve had as part of the Cloud Native community.

Whether or not you made the journey to this year’s re:Invent, there’s always a variety of great announcements lost amid an action-packed week of keynotes, breakouts, expo hall demos, and networking sessions. No need to worry—we’re always happy to be a big part of the re:Invent experience and share our observations with you.

Now that we’ve had time to decompress from KubeCon, we wanted to do a writeup about our collective experience. Six of us spoke at the conference and Charity participated in a panel, so we included short talk recaps.

Gartner recently held their annual IT Symposium/Xpo in Orlando and Barcelona, respectively. We attended both events, a jam-packed four days of learning, dynamic conversations, and innovative sessions. It was great showcasing our latest capabilities, reconnecting with our clients, and witnessing first-hand the demand for Internet resilience within the broader community.

LogicMonitor spent the week in Las Vegas at AWS re:Invent 2023. With over 50,000 attendees, it was packed with groundbreaking keynote sessions, networking events, and so much more. One major announcement during the event was AWS Marketplace’s Quick Launch. Made to easily deploy SaaS products, interested users can easily buy and deploy LogicMonitor straight from the AWS Marketplace.

We have just returned from the stunning city of Riga, where Canonical hosted the Ubuntu Summit 2023, and we are still buzzing with the energy from meeting so many of you. Preparing this event was a team effort. A small team of us have been meeting for months, brainstorming ideas, preparing huge to-do lists, and dividing responsibilities. It was difficult, but also hugely rewarding, and an opportunity many of us felt was a privilege.

After the absolute barrage of announcements on day 0, day 1 brought us some mild excitement and one big disappointment…

In typical re:Invent fashion, AWS has made a series of big announcements before the main event even kicks off! Here are some groundbreaking serverless updates that you should know about.

It’s that time of the year again as re:Invent is almost upon us Here is a list of the serverless-related announcements so far that you should know about.

Kubecon 2023 was more than just another conference to check off my list. It marked my first chance to work in the booth with my incredible Kentik colleagues. It let me dive deep into the code, community, and culture of Kubernetes. It was a moment when members of an underrepresented group met face-to-face and experienced an event previously not an option.
