## [Rafay at DevOpsCon 2023 in New York City](https://docs.rafay.co/blog/2023/10/20/rafay-at-devopscon-2023-in-new-york-city/)

In late Sep 2023, we had the opportunity to speak, present and participate at [DevOpsCon 2023](https://devopscon.io/new-york/) in New York City. In this blog, we will briefly describe what we presented at the conference and our observations about the event itself.

DevOpsCon is a global conference focused on **CI/CD, Kubernetes Ecosystem, Agile & Lean Business**. If you live outside the United States, you may want to attend one of their conferences in [other cities](https://devopscon.io/?loc=all) such as Munich, Singapore, London and Berlin.

This year's conference in New York was held at the Marriott near Brooklyn Bridge which is a fantastic location, literally right across from the [Brooklyn Bridge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn_Bridge) and [NYU Engineering](https://engineering.nyu.edu/).

Our goals at this conference were very simple.

1. Educate the attendees about various approaches for **secure access** to Kubernetes clusters and their pros/cons.

2. Attend other sessions, meet practitioners and learn about their challenges and how they are solving these.
