About this event
Jerusalem’s cloud native community is getting together for an evening that combines practical insight, real conversation, and the kind of local networking that’s actually useful. If you work with modern infrastructure, platforms, developer tools, or open source technologies, this meetup is a chance to hear from experienced voices and connect with people building, operating, and thinking about cloud native systems in Israel. With talks featuring Itay Shakury, Regina Voloshin, and Ben Hirschberg, this CNCF Jerusalem event is designed for people who want substance as much as community. Expect strong technical perspectives, thoughtful discussion, and a room full of attendees who care about the same fast-moving challenges shaping cloud native work today. About the Event This is an in-person CNCF Jerusalem meetup focused on bringing the local cloud native community together around shared learning and conversation. It’s part technical event, part professional gathering, and part community touchpoint for people who want to stay close to what’s happening across infrastructure, Kubernetes, platform engineering, open source, and adjacent areas. The format is straightforward and effective: attendees gather in person, hear from featured speakers, and have time to connect before, during, and after the formal program. The goal is not just to present ideas from the front of the room, but to create an environment where practitioners and curious learners can exchange notes, compare approaches, and continue conversations beyond the talks. Because this meetup sits within the CNCF ecosystem, you can expect the discussion to be relevant to people working with cloud native tools and practices, while still being approachable for attendees who are earlier in the journey. Whether you spend your day deep in production systems or you’re exploring the space more seriously for the first time, the evening is structured to make room for both learning and connection. What to Expect The event starts on Tuesday, June 30 at 5:30 PM GMT+3 and takes place in person at Arnon, Tadmor-Levy Law Offices in Jerusalem, Israel. Arriving on time will help you settle in, meet other attendees, and get the most out of the full program. You can expect an evening built around a few core elements: A local cloud native community gathering with a strong in-person meetup feel Talks from Itay Shakury, Regina Voloshin, and Ben Hirschberg Opportunities to network with engineers, operators, founders, technical leaders, and community members Informal discussion around real-world challenges, tools, practices, and lessons learned Rather than being a large conference with too much happening at once, this kind of meetup offers a more focused experience. You’ll have the chance to actually follow the talks, ask better questions, and have conversations that go beyond quick introductions. If you regularly attend technical meetups, you already know the difference a strong room makes. When the audience is made up of people actively working in the space, the side conversations become part of the value: what others are deploying, where teams are struggling, what patterns are working, and how local practitioners are thinking about change. Why Attend A good community event saves you time. Instead of piecing together ideas from scattered articles, isolated Slack threads, or brief social posts, you get a concentrated evening of insight from speakers and peers in one place. That’s especially valuable in cloud native work, where the landscape evolves quickly and the practical gap between theory and production reality matters. This meetup is a strong fit if you want to sharpen your understanding while staying connected to the people around you. The talks can give you new technical perspectives; the room can give you context, feedback, and relationships that continue after the event. You should attend if you want to: Hear informed perspectives from featured speakers working close to the field Meet the local CNCF and cloud native community in Jerusalem and beyond Trade ideas with peers facing similar engineering and platform questions Stay current on conversations that matter in modern infrastructure and open source Build relationships that can lead to future collaboration, hiring conversations, or ongoing knowledge-sharing There’s also real value in being physically present with a technical community. You notice what people are excited about, what concerns are coming up repeatedly, and where interest is building. That kind of signal is hard to get remotely and often more useful than polished summaries after the fact. Practical Details This event is in person at Arnon, Tadmor-Levy Law Offices, Jerusalem, Israel. The setting makes this a more grounded, face-to-face meetup experience, so plan accordingly and give yourself enough time to arrive, check in, and get situated before the program begins. Date and time: Tuesday, June 30 5:30 PM GMT+3 Because this is a community meetup with networking built into the experience, it’s worth treating it as more than just a drop-in lecture. Staying for the full evening will give you the best chance to hear all featured speakers and make meaningful connections with other attendees. If you’re deciding whether to come, the simplest reason is probably the best one: this is a focused opportunity to spend time with people who care about cloud native technology and the community around it. In one evening, you can learn something useful, meet people you’re likely to want to know, and stay plugged into what the local ecosystem is thinking about right now.
Who should attend
This evening is for people who want thoughtful technical conversation and a strong local community around cloud native work. - You work in **software engineering, DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure**, and you want to stay close to current cloud native ideas and real-world practice. - You’re building with or learning about **Kubernetes, containers, developer platforms, observability, or open source infrastructure**, and you want to hear how others are approaching similar problems. - You value **meetups that combine talks with actual networking**, where the people in the room are just as valuable as the content on stage. - You’re part of the **Jerusalem or broader Israel tech community** and want to make stronger connections with practitioners, technical leaders, and community-minded builders nearby. - You’re earlier in your cloud native journey but serious about learning, and you’d benefit from being in a room with people who can expand your perspective. - You’re looking for a **useful weekday event**, not just background content: something that can give you new ideas, new contacts, and a better sense of what’s happening in the local ecosystem.
