If you’re passionate about Kubernetes, containers, and the cloud native ecosystem, Kubernetes Community Days Nigeria 2025 (KCD Nigeria) is the must-attend event of the year. This year’s edition brings even more excitement as it will be colocated with OSCAFEST 2025, creating an incredible opportunity for learning, networking, and community building in the heart of Lagos.
What Are Kubernetes Community Days?
Kubernetes Community Days (KCDs) are community-led events supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Local volunteers and tech leaders organize these events to educate and connect users and contributors of Kubernetes and other cloud native technologies.
KCDs are designed to:
-
Foster education around Kubernetes and the broader cloud native ecosystem
-
Bring together developers, SREs, DevOps engineers, platform teams, students, and open-source enthusiasts
-
Offer a collaborative platform for sharing real-world use cases, solutions, tools, and career opportunities
-
Grow regional open-source communities while contributing to the global CNCF ecosystem
