2025 was a big year for Kubernetes and cloud-native. For TeraSky, it was a year of showing up to lead. Across global conferences, local communities, open-source projects, and training programs, our team stayed deeply involved in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ecosystem.
Here’s a snapshot of what that looked like throughout 2025.
Community Events & Speaking Engagements
KubeCon NA 2025
We delivered four distinct talks at KubeCon, covering platform design decisions, day-2 operations, and real-world challenges of Kubernetes adoption.
Cloud Native Computing Foundation – Jerusalem
Our involvement in the local CNCF community in Jerusalem focused on advanced Kubernetes adoption topics, including scaling strategies, workload behavior, and architectural considerations in growing environments.
Platform Engineering Con
Scott Rosenberg (Lead Architect – CTO Office) and Elad Hirsch (Tech Lead – CTO Office) presented sessions on building internal platforms that teams actually adopt, focusing on ownership boundaries, abstraction levels, and the realities of supporting multiple engineering teams.
Chaos Engineering Global Tour
London: Scott Rosenberg
Boston: Elad Hirsch, Maria Gabriella Brodi (Lead Solutions Architect)
These sessions explored how CNCF chaos engineering tools can be used to validate Kubernetes resilience, failure modes, and recovery processes in production systems.
Content & Digital Engagement
Weekly Sessions with Viktor
Throughout the year, Scott Rosenberg participated in recurring discussions with Viktor Farcic on the DevOps Toolkit, focusing on real-world cloud-native and DevOps challenges. These sessions centered on practical platform and Kubernetes topics, examining how tools, patterns, and architectural choices behave in production rather than in theory.
Webinars
In a joint webinar with Spectro Cloud, we explored operational challenges teams face when running Kubernetes at scale. The discussion focused on managing distributed clusters across cloud and edge environments, controlling cost and configuration drift, and adapting platforms to increasingly AI-driven workloads.
The session emphasized practical lessons and approaches drawn from real production environments.
Open Source Contributions
Backstage Plugin Ecosystem – 35+ Plugins
In 2025, we maintained and expanded our open-source Backstage plugin ecosystem to 35+ plugins, focused on making Backstage usable in real production environments.
The work addressed common post-adoption challenges such as integration with live platforms and operational visibility, helping platform teams reduce complexity and reach value faster as their Backstage implementations grow.
Training & Enablement
Kubernetes and Cloud Native Training Partner (KCNTP)
In pursuit of a more complete approach to cloud-native adoption, we expanded our work to formally include training. In 2025, TeraSky became an official Kubernetes and Cloud Native Training Partner (KCNTP), recognized by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and The Linux Foundation.
Our focus is on operational understanding – helping teams move beyond deployment to running stable, secure, and scalable Kubernetes environments.
Depth Over Noise
2025 reinforced something we strongly believe in: real cloud-native expertise comes from sustained participation across communities, open source, and real production work.
We’re carrying that same approach forward into 2026.
