Keynote: Cloud Native Darwinism: Continuous Evolution of Platforms for Competitive Edge - KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Japan 2025 / kubecon-japan-2025-amsy810-keynote

https://sched.co/1x74h

In the rapidly evolving world of cloud native technologies, new projects and paradigms are constantly emerging. To keep up with this momentum, platforms built on Kubernetes and cloud native ecosystem must continuously evolve as well. Choosing technologies and architectures is no longer a one-time decision—it requires continuous reevaluation and adaptability. By embracing flexibility and continuously adopting better solutions as they become available, end-users can maintain the competitive edge. This session will highlight the importance of continuously evolving platforms within the open-source ecosystem and introduce the powerful extensibility of Kubernetes that enables such evolution. Attendees will gain insights into how to keep competitive through continuous evolution, and we'll explore the next actions of early adopters and the trends in the upstream Just as the sun continues to rise in the Land of the Rising Sun, the evolution of your platform will illuminate the path to a brighter future for you, your company and your country.
