Get ready, Bogotá! The official announcement is here: Kubernetes Community Days (KCD) Colombia 2025 is a reality, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most significant open-source events in Latin America this year.

Today, August 29, 2025, marks the day.

What makes this event so special isn’t just its place as one of 30 global KCDs; it’s the powerful collaboration it represents. The organizers are officially bringing together three of the most important movements in modern technology:

  1. Cloud-Native (KCD): The world of Kubernetes, containers, and DevOps.
  2. OpenInfra: The community behind the infrastructure that powers it all (like OpenStack, Ceph, and Kata Containers).
  3. OSPO (Open Source Program Offices): The enterprise and public-sector strategy for managing and contributing to open source.

This “super-event” in Bogotá is a space for innovation, learning, and high-level networking.

Why This Combination is a Big Deal

This isn’t just a co-location; it’s a convergence. You can’t have a successful cloud-native strategy without a robust infrastructure layer.

This event directly addresses the key questions on everyone’s mind in 2025:

  • The VMware Migration: As companies flee Broadcom’s new policies, where do they land? This event will be a hotspot for talks on migrating to KubeVirt and OpenStack.
  • Powering AI at Scale: The Cloud-Native world (Kubernetes) is how you manage AI workloads, but the OpenInfra world (OpenStack, Ironic) is how you provide the on-demand, cost-effective GPU and bare-metal resources.
  • Digital Sovereignty: For Colombia’s booming FinTech and public sectors, this event brings together the OSPO (strategy) and OpenInfra (technology) for building secure, in-country clouds.
  • A Pure Community Focus: The event is 100% community-driven and non-profit, meaning the agenda is set by and for the engineers, architects, and innovators who are actively building this technology.

How to Get Involved

While the event is happening today, the movement continues.

  • 🎟️ Registration: Registrations are open for this accessible event.
  • 🎤 Call for Proposals (CFP): The CFP has already concluded, leading to the fantastic schedule of talks you see today.
  • 🤝 Sponsorship: Opportunities are available for companies who want to connect with and support this core cloud-native and open-source community.

This event positions Colombia as a major hub in the Latin American tech scene. Don’t miss it.
