About KubeAuto Day Japan
KubeAuto Day Japan is the next stop on the global KubeAuto Day series, co-located with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 in Yokohama. It's a community-run afternoon for the cloud native crowd: Kubernetes, platform engineering, automation, FinOps, and everything around the ecosystem. Whether you run clusters in production, build internal platforms, or are just getting into cloud native, come connect with practitioners and peers from across Japan before the main KubeCon days kick off.
