KCD x Ceph x OpenInfra Day Korea 2026

About this event

The Synergy of Open Source: Cloud Native, Storage, and Infrastructure

On September 1, 2026, three major forces driving Korea's open source ecosystem will converge into a single stream.

KCD x Ceph x OpenInfra Day Korea 2026 is a joint conference co-hosted by the communities behind Kubernetes — the standard for cloud native technology, Ceph — the distributed storage foundation of the data era, and OpenInfra — a leader in open infrastructure technology.

Why is this event special?

Until now, each of these areas has developed on its own path. But in today's cloud environment, the boundaries between infrastructure, storage, and the orchestration layer are dissolving.

Built around the idea of "separate, yet together," this event brings engineers from all three communities together to identify shared technical ground and create even greater synergy. From infrastructure challenges at the hardware level to ensuring availability at the service layer, attendees can experience the full spectrum of open source technology in one place.

Key Highlights

  • 3-in-1 Integration: A diverse lineup of technical sessions and in-depth case studies curated by all three communities
  • Full-Stack Insights: An integrated architectural view spanning bare-metal, storage, and containers
  • Community Networking: Direct engagement with Korea's leading open source contributors and domain experts

Who should attend?

  • Platform engineers building and operating cloud native infrastructure
  • Data/storage engineers responsible for large-scale data processing and reliable storage design
  • Infrastructure architects working on OpenStack-based private cloud and hybrid strategies
  • Developers and students who want to stay current with — and contribute to — open source trends
  • Developers and researchers exploring Agentic AI and AI coding trends, and looking to leverage open source AI infrastructure
