### Background KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 runs from 19 to 22 March 2024 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. According to the CNCF report on the Paris edition, the event brought together **over 12,000 people**. On 19 March, the day of co-located events, the CNCF publishes a recap of the first announcements. ### Key facts - Six co-located events are covered in the day-one recap: Cloud Native AI Day, Platform Engineering Day, AppDeveloperCon, Startup Fest, ArgoCon and OpenTofu Europe. - Istio announces the beta of its sidecar-less ambient mode; OpenTelemetry announces profiling support. - Fluent Bit releases version 3; Notary is introduced as a CNCF incubating project. - The CNCF AI working group publishes a cloud native AI whitepaper, and a Green Reviews working group is created to measure projects' energy footprint. - Dominant themes: AI and cloud native, platform engineering, GitOps with Argo. ### Why it matters KubeCon Europe works as a barometer: in 2024, AI and platform engineering take an unprecedented place next to Kubernetes. The Paris edition, with more than 12,000 registrations, shows how large the European cloud native community is. Among the day-one announcements, Istio's ambient mode reaches general availability in November 2024. Day one also features an Intuit talk on combining Jenkins and the Argo projects for an organization of more than 6,000 developers. ### Takeaway Paris 2024 confirms that cloud native now talks AI and internal platforms as much as containers.
