KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2022: The Platform Operating Model Becomes the Point
Looking across the two KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2022 events (spring and late year), the ecosystem’s center of gravity shifts again: platform engineering hardens into an operating model, supply chain controls move from “security tooling” to enforceable workflows, eBPF becomes a practical substrate for networking and observability, standard interfaces (Gateway API, OpenTelemetry, Cluster API) start to matter more than individual products, and cost/efficiency turns into a platform design constraint.
