Becoming a member of Cloud Native Austria

Cloud Native Austria is all about building and fostering communities.

Our goal is to improve the cloud native ecosystem in Austria, by building stronger and more active communities. By becoming a member of Cloud Native Austria, you take an active step towards this goal. Your membership and contribution will not only help the Austrian community, but will help your local community even more. Since we regard a membership as a token of commitment to strengthening your local community, we will double down on that.
