About us

Welcome to the official Cloud Native Community Group (CNCG) - Kuala Lumpur Chapter! We look forward to creating a community of enthusiasts consisting of end-users and contributors to the Cloud Native project(s). Even if you're new to Cloud Native, we gladly welcome you to the community to network with fellow enthusiasts, learn and explore the projects. We meet once a month to learn, share and discuss the latest in cloud computing, operations and architecture. Please get in touch with us! Tell us what you think, what you want or don't want, and step up to present at our meetup (by filling up sessionize form) and don't worry, we'll take care of the logistics including food. Being part of this community, all of the members are required to agree with the Code of Conduct. Together we are #TeamCloudNative

About Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF):

Cloud native technologies empower organizations to build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. Containers, service meshes, microservices, immutable infrastructure, and declarative APIs exemplify this approach. These techniques enable loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable. Combined with robust automation, they allow engineers to make high-impact changes frequently and predictably with minimal toil.

CNCF seeks to drive adoption of this paradigm by fostering and sustaining an ecosystem of open source, vendor-neutral projects. CNCF democratizes state-of-the-art patterns to make these innovations accessible for everyone.

[In-Person] KCD Rejecteds @ Cloud Native Kuala Lumpur Meetup - September 2026
Wed, Sep 2 · 6:00 PM MYT
AWS malaysia, Level 35, The Gardens North Tower, 35, Lingkaran Syed Putra, Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur, MY
This is a free event, but RSVP is required!

Join us for the in-person September 2026 edition of Cloud Native Kuala Lumpur Meetup! This time with the theme KCD Rejecteds

Giveaway: Wear your KCD Kuala Lumpur t-shirt and join us at the meetup in-person to be part of the lucky draw for free CNCF certifications (CKA, CKAD, CKS, etc.)

KCD Rejecteds is inspired by Cloud Native Rejekts (part of KubeCon), where "Rejekts" (and in our case "Rejecteds") is a playful community term (not a negative label) that celebrates giving great talks another opportunity to be shared. It offers a community-first stage for talks that weren't selected for the main KCD Kuala Lumpur 2026 event, while welcoming diverse perspectives and fostering learning, collaboration, and innovation in the cloud native community.

Whether you are a software developer, SRE, cloud engineer or just interested in cloud native (and open source) concepts, this meetup is perfect for you.

This is also a great opportunity to network and connect with other professionals in the industry who are also passionate about cloud native. Don't miss out on the chance to learn from industry experts and discuss the latest advancements in cloud computing, software security, and more. RSVP now and secure your spot for the meetup!

NOTE: To avoid duplication, please RSVP only once, either here in meetup.com or at the OCG page. And RSVP "yes" only if you're able to attend the meetup in-person. If you've RSVP-ed "yes" and couldn't make it to the meetup, please revert the RSVP to "no"

Date: September 2nd, 2026 (Wednesday)
Time: 6pm - 9.30pm
Venue: AWS @ The Gardens North Tower

Agenda
6.00pm: Arrival + Food
7.15pm: Welcome note
7.30pm: Rejecteds Talk #1: Observability with eBPF + OpenTelemetry
8.00pm: Rejecteds Talk #2: Sovereign Kubernetes Business Continuity with Velero
8.30pm: Quiz + Giveaway

Session Details (Talk #1)
Speaker Bio: Chatwin Hoe is a Senior Sales Engineer at Datadog, covering the Malaysian market, working with platform and engineering teams on observability across cloud native environments. Previously an Observability Solutions Architect at Splunk, Chatwin is drawn to the practical side of the field — what instrumentation actually costs a team to adopt and maintain, and where kernel-level visibility fills the gaps.
Session Title: Observability with eBPF + OpenTelemetry
Session Description: Kubernetes is hard to observe: pods are ephemeral, symptoms cross multiple layers, and instrumenting a workload you don't own means a ticket and someone else's sprint. eBPF removes that constraint. Every service lands on the map with its request, error and latency signals, in any language, plus the connection-level detail between pods. No code changes, no sidecars, no sign-off.
The session concludes by examining the limits of eBPF and its relationship with OpenTelemetry: eBPF provides breadth across every workload, while OpenTelemetry contributes the application-level depth the kernel cannot observe

Session Details (Talk #2)
Speaker Bio: Arun Kumar is the Head of Cloud and Data Engineering at Nimbus Cloud Sdn Bhd
Session Title: Sovereign Kubernetes Business Continuity with Velero
Session Description: Sovereign Kubernetes platforms deployed on-prem must operate without relying on hyperscaler-managed k8s services. In such environments, business continuity must be engineered using open, self-hosted cloud-native tooling. This session demonstrates a production-ready disaster recovery implementation using Velero integrated with S3-compatible object storage in an on-prem sovereign setup.
Rather than focusing only on commands, this talk walks through the complete lifecycle:
- Designing the backup storage architecture
- Configuring Velero with S3-compatible storage
- Scheduling incremental backups
- Simulating a failure scenario
- Executing a controlled restore into a target cluster
- Protecting backup storage during disaster mode
