VMware has been a top contributor to Open Source Kubernetes projects and the community, helping to drive innovation, collaboration, and ecosystem growth and we’re excited to see the innovations and ideas from the community coming up at KubeCon in Atlanta. Whether you’re a developer, platform engineer, Kubernetes maintainer, or open source contributor, we’d love to chat with you onsite at Booth #1010. Plus, we’re participating in several community-led sessions and have booth demos you won’t want to miss — plus plenty of time to connect in person at our booth. Discover why VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) is the runtime of choice for the private cloud: CNCF certified Kubernetes runtime, which runs all apps LTS for Kubernetes minor releases Built-in integration with common platform engineering tools, such as Argo, Helm Multi-cluster lifecycle management, policy and backup at scale Single API across a robust set of building-block services, including AI CNCF certified Kubernetes runtime, which runs all apps LTS for Kubernetes minor releases Built-in integration with common platform engineering tools, such as Argo, Helm Multi-cluster lifecycle management, policy and backup at scale Single API across a robust set of building-block services, including AI Our booth is your hub for all things VMware + Kubernetes: Watch demos highlighting Configure Kubernetes in Minutes – Fast deploy, on-demand versions, scalability Deploy Workloads in a Powerful Ecosystem – Conformant Kubernetes with packages, flexible container choices Operate Real VMs with Kubernetes – Operate VMs through Kubernetes APIs with VM service Advance CNCF Together – VMware’s contributions across CNCF projects Meet our experts who are contributing to important open-source projects such as Cluster API, Contour, etcd, Harbor, Containerd , and others. Our engineers are available for 1:1 conversations to discuss open-source solutions that simplify, secure, and scale modern applications Ask questions about VMware + Kubernetes convergence, etcd reliability, resilient infrastructure, and more Discuss all about VKS – upcoming capabilities and roadmap directions Schedule deeper dives with our technical experts Watch demos highlighting Configure Kubernetes in Minutes – Fast deploy, on-demand versions, scalability Deploy Workloads in a Powerful Ecosystem – Conformant Kubernetes with packages, flexible container choices Operate Real VMs with Kubernetes – Operate VMs through Kubernetes APIs with VM service Advance CNCF Together – VMware’s contributions across CNCF projects Configure Kubernetes in Minutes – Fast deploy, on-demand versions, scalability Deploy Workloads in a Powerful Ecosystem – Conformant Kubernetes with packages, flexible container choices Operate Real VMs with Kubernetes – Operate VMs through Kubernetes APIs with VM service Advance CNCF Together – VMware’s contributions across CNCF projects Meet our experts who are contributing to important open-source projects such as Cluster API, Contour, etcd, Harbor, Containerd , and others.

Running etcd in production can be challenging with unexpected leader elections or network problems. Watch us demonstrate proven strategies for deploying and operating etcd at scale and share “rescue recipes” in action to address database bloat, instability, and failed upgrades. For those who want to get a head start or dive deeper before the event, we encourage you to explore our recent blog post: Kubernetes on VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0: A Single Platform for All Workloads. Join us at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 in Atlanta, connect with our engineers and maintainers at Booth #1010 , and be part of the conversations shaping the next decade of cloud native infrastructure.
