Fue un placer celebrar el tercer meetup de Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)Bilbao en el Edificio Ensanche ayer.
Mil gracias a Iraia Monteagudo y INNOLAB Bilbao por su colaboración dándonos un espacio para hacer el evento.
Disfrutamos de las ponencias top de los CNCF Ambassadors Oleg Nenashev sobre Jenkins yJorge Turrado Ferrero sobre GitOPs. Por último, Manuel Cañete hizo una presentación muy interesante sobre la tecnología Backstage que fue desarrollada por Spotify.

Just an hour after getting back from the Netherlands, I was back in my “hometown” MCing the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Bilbao meetup on the last day of the Open Source Summit EU.

First and foremost, massive shoutout to our sponsor Kubeshop for their support and great job to Ole Lensmar for his informative talk about Kubernetes policies (we gotta start putting a band together for KubeCon Chicago- lookin’ at you Nicholas Eberts Dominique Top 👩🏼‍💻 Andrew Martin).

It was wonderful seeing a mixture of over 50 local and international friends coming together to share knowledge and build community.

We had talks from-

Andrea López Rodríguez from ZYLK-end user experience using Grafana to monitor air quality-

Elie Assi from Kurago– Better control using Kube Eagle

Jorge Turrado Ferrero– From Sandbox to Graduated project: the KEDA story

As per usual we had the best graphic recorder and photographer in the business Ardiluzu.

The next meetup will be on October 19th to coincide with the QATest event happening in Bilbao. More news about that soon and looking forward to see Oleg Nenashev here!

Here’s what I recorded/edited in Fullstaq Edgecase 2023.

High quality:

• workshops
• questions
• connections
• food
• location

Thx to platinum sponsors Sysdig & LogicMonitor

How much can you do in one day? SODA Data Vision 2023 just finished or maybe the real work just started?

Over 20 speakers from all over the world shared their knowledge, empowering us to make better decisions and build more robust organizations that will be better prepared for today’s data challenges.
None of this would have happened without the support from our Gold Sponsor Kurago and Silver Sponsor SUSE and the diligence and dedication of the SODA Foundation team- Sanil Kumar D Lawrence Lai Steven Tan Tammy Chiang, MBA, PMP®, Prosci, PSM II Una Lin.

We also got to see some incredible young talent from Maddi Monclús Parmar Kelvin Vaishali Rawat Bilal Khan 👋 Anushka Saxena Utkarsh Umre Soumava D. and others who submitted their findings/talks in the Students Challenge.

We’ll be uploading the talks to youtube as well comments we got from some of our speakers Michael Cade Andrew Martin Ane B. Hippie Hacker Juan Herrera Utande Oz Katz Guillermo Ruiz but in the meantime check out my one minute summary I recorded/edited today and the incredible artwork done by Ardiluzu. Enjoy!

Postgres Ibiza 2023 is not your average conference. Why?

1. Ibiza is a beautiful place that makes you relaxed
2. Talks are a technical dialogue between the speakers and the audience
3. Speakers are extremely knowledgeable and open-minded
4. It’s ok to challenge the status quo
5. The food is incredible
6. Venue is a 2 minute walk from the beach

Big shoutout to Gold Sponsor OnGres and Bronze Sponsor FerretDB for their support in making this happen.

The recordings of the talks will be out in a few weeks when you’ll get to see these speakers from Day One- Álvaro Hernández Tortosa Franck Pachot Alfredo Rodriguez Sergio Ostapowicz Christoph Engelbert Waltton Morais Sebastian Daschner Chris Travers.

Apart from enjoying the amazing views from the 11th floor, we got to hear great talks from:
Arsh Sharma from Okteto
Álvaro Sánchez-Mariscal Arnaiz from Oracle
Álvaro Hernández Tortosa from OnGres (don’t forget- I’ll be hosting Postgres Ibiza on August 29-31st- CFP closes on June 30th so get yours in. More info- https://pgibz.io/)

Community/DevRel panel with Guillermo Ruiz, Francis Santiago, Xavier Portilla Edo, David Gómez García, Jorge Barrachina Gutiérrez (finally got a copy of his book!)

The community vibe is strong- curiosity, questions, welcoming atmosphere, snacks (Arsh will be bringing lots of Risketos back with him to India), connecting with community legends like Bilbostack co-organizer Asier Marqués.

To top it off, got to meet Luis Maria Horvath Mayor for the first time. We live an hour away from each other, know people in common through the Euskal Encounter (cc: Imanol Obaldia Sanz) and he took the time to 3D print my name.

Community work is hard, but you can’t put a price on spontaneous acts of kindness.

Hope you enjoy watching the video as much as I did recording it.

In Bilbao, the local vibe is deeply rooted in “Go big or go home,” and that’s what we stuck to in the first Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Bilbao Meetup.

Thanks to Iraia Monteagudo and INNOLAB Bilbao for letting us use their event space to host this first (of many) Cloud Native gatherings.

People all over the world have seen Angel López de Luzuriaga incredible art bringing technical concepts to life, but it was the first time he gave a talk about his experience in the Cloud Native ecosystem. He created drawings on the spot for all of the speakers and as always, did so with pizazz.

The meetup featured talks from six others- my fellow CNCF Ambassador Jorge Turrado Ferrero, Cortney Nickerson from Monokle by Kubeshop, Victor Martinez Bahillo from Auctane, David Lorite Solanas from Sysdig, David López Becerra from SALTO Systems, and last but not least Arie van den Bos from Kurago.

Excellent content, conversations, and networking. Mark your calendars for September 7th when we’ll be hosting the next one!
