Network graph showing the dominant themes at KubeCon EU 2026 in Amsterdam, based on analysis of 454 conference sessions. Ten topic clusters — AI/ML, Security, Observability, GPU, Networking, Scheduling, Multi-cluster, Platform Engineering, GitOps, and Storage — are arranged by force-directed layout, with key terms inside each cluster (e.g., "inference," "llm," and "kubeflow" inside AI/ML; "opentelemetry," "prometheus," and "tracing" inside Observability). Thick grey lines between clusters show cross-topic session overlap: AI/ML and GPU share 53 sessions (the strongest link), followed by AI/ML–Scheduling (38), AI/ML–Observability (36), and AI/ML–Security (35). Security acts as a second hub, bridging to Multi-cluster (28) and Networking (26). Storage and GitOps sit at the periphery with fewer cross-topic connections.
