What We Learned at KubeCon Europe post thumbnail

Our team had an amazing time at Kubecon Amsterdam, connecting with DevOps and developers from around the world and showcasing our permissions management automation platform—Apono. 

We were thrilled to see the excitement and interest in our solution, as attendees recognized the need for better permission management in their organizations—from a security, time-saving and compliant perspective.

In addition to showcasing Apono at the conference, we also held several technical sessions to help attendees learn how to automate permission management. These sessions covered a range of topics, from gaining access visibility in K8s clusters to creating incident response access flows for on-call groups.

A few take-ways from our team at Kubecon:

“I realized that even a developer can sell when his product brings real value.”

Dima – Software Team Lead @ Apono

“I learned that the best way of getting someone attention is with a nerf-gun, hacky sacks and old-school arcade games – I’m definitely in the right industry” 

Roey – Head of Marketing @ Apono

“I discovered that everyone needs Apono, it does no matter if it is a big company or small, as long as you need to keep your customer data safe, you will need JIT permissions to all your cloud assets, DBs, K8s, and R&D applications.”

Tamir – Senior Director of Technical Services @ Apono

“I learned that you can put thousands of developers in one room and no tragedy will happen. Also, there is no such thing as too many socks!”

Ofir – CTO & Co-founder @ Apono

“Kubernetes is everywhere and permissions in K8s is a tedious thing to manage, especially when trying to do it “right” and granular. Even just understanding who has what permissions in a cluster is not as straightforward as one might think”

Rom (CEO & Co-founder @ Apono)

Workshop in the conference – Apono at Kubecon Europe

Overall, Kubecon Amsterdam was a fantastic opportunity to meet like-minded individuals who share our passion for innovation for k8s in the cloud-native space. 

We look forward to continuing to develop solutions that help organizations better manage their cloud environments and improve their security posture.
