KubeCon 2018 Seattle: Event Recap

4 MIN READ

MIN READ

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2018 was an incredible event. With 8,000 attendees and more than 187 vendors into the exhibit hall, we enjoyed returning to the event with many exciting announcements of our own: Our partnership with IBM Cloud and our recent round of funding. Thank you for those of you who stopped by our booth, we enjoyed the great conversations, product demos, and fun giveaways.

Event Highlights:

Live Interview with Silicon Valley Angle's TheCUBE

Norman Hsieh, our Head of Business Development, and Daniel Berg, Distinguished Engineer at IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service gave a live interview together on Silicon Valley Angle's TheCUBE. Watch the video below to learn more about our exciting partnership with IBM Cloud and all the reasons they chose to work with us, how LogDNA fit into IKS, and how easy it is to quickly gain insights from increasingly complex cloud applications with our modernized platform.[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLjbseYcjfY&feature=youtu.be[/embed]

IBM Cloud Keynote with Jason McGee, VP and CTO, IBM Cloud

Jason McGee's keynote speech was about the need to unify containers, apps and functions. He shared IBM cloud's approach to a unified platform and the partnership with LogDNA to power Log Analysis.

Kubernetes the core of IBM Cloud

Norman also gave a quick talk at IBM Cloud's booth to show all the features LogDNA's log management and analysis platform has to offer. Many attendees showed great interest and even came by our booth afterwards to ask how they could get started. We're always excited to help! If you have questions or want to continue the discussion, feel free to contact us.

Exciting Raffles & Swag

Tons of people came by to join our raffle. We gave away a Spark Drone, Star Wars Legos, and numerous Echo Dots. We also completely ran out of LogDNA socks (always a hit at every show). Check out our huge turnout!

Best Dressed Booth in the House

Last but not least, it was evident that we have best-in-class Kubernetes integration and style! We got dozens of compliments on our custom LogDNA fashion. Check out LogDNA's style - 2018 winter edition.

All in all, it was a fantastic event. We hope you learned a lot, enjoyed our conversations, got lots of swag (especially our amazing LogDNA socks), and learned a bit more about all the benefits LogDNA has to offer. Be sure to keep in touch with us!
