Join us for DevNation Federal

This three-day, immersive, virtual experience was created to bring the public sector the most exciting developer and technology updates about cloud native applications, and highlight agencies and organizations that are innovating in this space.
Kubernetes has taken the industry by storm and become the de-facto orchestration standard throughout the commercial and government sectors. As kubernetes has evolved, so have the conversations about security, observability, serverless, and gitops. The full impact these topics have on technology is still emerging. DevNation explores this evolution and what’s to come.
