Kubernetes Community Days Gujarat 2026 is set to take place on Saturday, September 19, 2026, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, marking the first-ever KCD event in the state. It’s a CNCF-backed, community-organized conference bringing together developers, operators, and cloud-native enthusiasts from across India and beyond.
This is an in-person, community-led event, backed by CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) and organized by local Cloud Native Community Groups across Gujarat, including CNCG Ahmedabad, CNCG Gandhinagar, CNCG Rajkot, and CNCG Vadodara.
A practitioner-first Kubernetes event
Like other KCD events, KCD Gujarat 2026 is built around real-world usage rather than vendor pitches or marketing slides. The day is structured around technical sessions, hands-on workshops, networking, and community building, with a lineup of parallel tracks covering platform engineering, DevSecOps and security, AI/ML, networking, and a dedicated beginner track for those new to the ecosystem.
Call for Proposals now open
The Call for Proposals (CfP) for KCD Gujarat 2026 is open now, and the organizing team is inviting talk submissions from the community.

Why KCD Gujarat matters
Ahmedabad and the wider Gujarat region have a growing base of developers, SREs, and platform teams working with Kubernetes and CNCF projects, but until now the state hasn’t had a dedicated KCD of its own. KCD Gujarat 2026 changes that, giving local and visiting speakers a platform to share production experience and connect with the broader cloud-native community in western India.
The venue is still being finalized, with details on transit access, parking, accommodation, and accessibility expected closer to the event.
