The journey to [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) adoption can be riddled with challenges and roadblocks. These challenges are magnified in a cloud-native context, where organizations are running hundreds—sometimes thousands—of applications simultaneously across numerous business units, for customers around the world. What does security and observability mean in this context? What challenges should Kubernetes practitioners anticipate and what opportunities should they explore? To address these questions and to explore emerging trends, we are gathering industry experts under one (virtual) roof at the [Kubernetes security and observability](https://www.tigera.io/blog/oreilly-ebook-kubernetes-security-and-observability-early-release/) Summit. As the industry’s first and only conference solely focused on Kubernetes security and observability, this (free) live virtual event will include discussions with technology leaders and Kubernetes users on real-world experiences, fundamentals, and best practices for securing and troubleshooting Kubernetes environments. ## What to expect The Kubernetes Security and Observability Summit is a place for DevOps, SREs, platform architects, and security teams to come together to explore trends, strategies, and technologies for securing, observing and troubleshooting cloud-native applications. During the summit, experts from industry-leading companies like Amazon, Box, Citi, EY, Mirantis, Morgan Stanley, PayPal, Salesforce, and of course, Tigera, will lead 30-minute sessions in three tracks: - Stories from the real world - Best practices - Under the hood Before these breakout sessions begin, the opening keynote by Morgan Stanley will delve into the advantages and practical challenges of applying modern, policy-as-code (PaC) approaches for a cloud-ready enterprise. In the second keynote address, Discover Financial Services will share their cloud security journey, including key capabilities and concepts. ### Session highlights: Stories from the real world In the Stories From the Real World track, industry experts will share real-world stories and learnings from their experiences with Kubernetes adoption, security and troubleshooting. - [Raj Singh](https://link.tigera.io/udmCg) from cloud services platform leader, Box, will share the innovative solutions the company implemented to address challenges that came with early adoption of Kubernetes. - [Saikat Maiti](https://link.tigera.io/udmCg) from Salesforce will delve into the details of how security and compliance has evolved to address the new paradigm of containers, microservices and cloud-based applications. - [Sheetal Joshi](https://link.tigera.io/udmCg) from Amazon will share insights on service mesh concepts, best practices, and key challenges. - Additional speakers and sessions will be announced in the coming weeks.
