KubeCon EU 2025, held in London from March 31 to April 4, was a vibrant gathering for cloud native enthusiasts, featuring a packed schedule of talks and events, including contributions from Dynatrace speakers. Pre-KubeCon events like Cloud Native Rejekts offered a relaxed atmosphere for additional talks, while the main conference included co-located events such as Observability Day and Platform Engineering Day. The OpenTelemetry (OTel) project was a significant focus, with updates on its growth and new features, highlighting its importance in modern observability practices. The event provided opportunities for community engagement through initiatives like Humans of OTel interviews and livestreams, where contributors shared insights and project developments. Despite a demanding schedule of delivering multiple talks, attendees found it a rewarding experience to connect with colleagues and explore the evolving landscape of cloud native technologies.
