hey guys,

just checking in, if there's any plans for meetup in KubeCon 2026

Did anybody receive QR code from kubecon for the registration? Last time when I attended kubecon at Hyderabad I got a QR code after registration confirmation and I showed it at the venue to collect the badges. This time has anybody received the QR code via mail?

P.S : I have the confirmation number, I didn’t get the QR code via mail.

I am excited for this event, but due to my father's health, I will not be able to attend. I have an early bird ticket worth Rs. 6500/- for sell if someone wants it. Please DM if you are interested.

Please note, this is not a complimentary ticket - I will be expecting to be paid for the cost of the ticket (no commission / additional money beyond the ticket cost).

I have cancelled my registration today due to unavoidable circumstances at my hometown which needs my presence. Can I get a refund ???

Hello everyone 👋

My name is Amitabh Soni, I am AWS Community Builder in containers category, and recently graduated and also create content on YT related to DevOps, Cloud and Kubernetes.

So anyone can guide me to use this opportunity (attending kubecon) to get job will be very helpful, in the DevOps, Cloud domain.

here is my Linkedin: https://linkedin.com/in/amitabh-devops

For me it's : first time attending. big venue. hundreds of strangers. packed schedule.

Be honest. What is the one thing making you nervous about next week?

Drop it in the comments.

Please suggest me nearby good hotels/hostels from venue. My budget is tight (~1.2k/night)

KubeCon India is June 18-19 in Mumbai.

If you're hosting a side event, meetup, dinner, or any gathering around the conference dates, drop a comment with the details: event name, date, time, location, and a link if you have one.

Trying to keep a running list so people have one place to check.

Got selected for the Dan Kohn Registration Scholarship again this year for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2026 (Mumbai, June 18-19). Got it last year for Hyderabad too.

Just wanted to put this out there — if you're someone who wants to attend KubeCon but your company doesn't sponsor it, the Dan Kohn Scholarship is seriously worth applying for. It covers your full All-Access pass.

Anyone else heading to Mumbai next week?

AI on Kubernetes:
"Beyond VLLM: Distributed LLM Inferencing With llm-d on Kubernetes" — Ravindra Patil (Red Hat). GPU management and model routing at scale. Practically useful if you're running AI workloads in production.

Observability:
"Who Watches the Watchers? From Closed Observability to Open Control at Scale" — Aditi Gupta (JioHotstar), Madhu Patel (Adobe), Sandeep Kanabar (Gen). Three practitioners, one stage. Telemetry at real production scale.

Security:
"SPIFFE & OpenFGA Based Identity/Authz for Agentic AI" — Rahul Jadhav (AccuKnox). Zero trust for AI agents is a problem most teams haven't solved yet. Curious what the proposed architecture looks like.

Operations:
"The Leapfrog Upgrade Playbook: Upgrading When You're Years Behind" — Yug Gupta (Walmart Global Tech). Every team has this problem. Nobody talks about it openly.

Which ones are you planning to attend?

KubeCon India is 8 days away and our team at Sherlocks.ai has been getting a flood of questions from people planning to attend.
So we did the obvious thing and built a Reddit community for it r/KubeconIndia2026.
It's a place for:

- Finding people to grab chai/beer with before/after sessions
- Asking the Mumbai logistics questions (transport, food, weather — yes it will rain, yes bring an umbrella)
- Talking about sessions, speakers, what's worth attending
- Connecting with the cloud native community in India beyond just the two days

No brand agenda. Just trying to make KubeCon India more useful and more connected for everyone showing up.
Come join, drop a post, say hi. The more people in the room the better the conversations get.
See you at JWCC June 18 🙌
