A three-day cloud-native conference at Hamburg's historic Schuppen 52 harbour warehouse, covering Kubernetes, containers, DevOps, AI/ML, and platform engineering across 6 stages, with one stage aboard the ship MS Bleichen.
ContainerDays Hamburg is an annual cloud-native conference focused on Kubernetes, container orchestration, DevOps, and platform engineering. The 2026 edition returns to Schuppen 52, a converted historic harbour warehouse on the Hamburg Elbe waterfront, and maintains the signature off-site stage aboard the vessel MS Bleichen. The programme features 336 speakers (according to the organiser) across 6 stages over three days, with topics extending into AI/ML infrastructure and cloud-native AI tooling.
ContainerDays sits within the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) ecosystem and is one of the larger European events dedicated specifically to cloud-native technologies. Its Hamburg location, unconventional venues, and practitioner-focused content attract a technically senior audience from across the DACH region and beyond.
According to the organiser, the team pass (3 or more people) is priced at 649 EUR per person from May through June, rising to 849 EUR from 1 July 2026. A student ticket is available at 99 EUR plus VAT. Standard individual pricing is listed on containerdays.io.

Schuppen 52 is a converted historic harbour warehouse on Hamburg's Elbe waterfront. It provides a large open floor plan suited to a multi-stage conference, combined with outdoor access to the harbour quay. The off-site MS Bleichen stage adds a distinctive element: sessions take place aboard a moored historic vessel, accessible during the conference programme.
ContainerDays GmbH is the organising entity behind the ContainerDays conference series. It operates within the German cloud-native and Kubernetes community and has run the Hamburg edition annually for several years. Information about the full conference schedule is available at containerdays.io.
The 336-speaker count and 6-stage programme put this in a different bracket from most European Kubernetes events: genuinely hard to cover in three days.
