Heading to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026 in Salt Lake City (November 9–12)? Get a preview of four sponsors and what they’ll be showing on the expo floor: RapidFort, Mirantis, Coder, and Portainer. From eliminating container CVEs to governing AI agents and managing Kubernetes fleets, here’s what to see and where to find them.

🔹 RapidFort (Mike Wood, CMO)
RapidFort automatically eliminates up to 99.9% of CVEs in container images without code changes, using the open-source software you already run. It also supports continuous compliance, including FIPS and STIG. Live demo at Booth 310.

🔹 Mirantis (Scott Parker, Product Marketing)
Mirantis builds enterprise platforms for Kubernetes and private cloud. It will cover Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE), built on open-source k0s and k0rdent, with in-place upgrades, long-term support, and a path off VMware. Ask about Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK) too. Booth 232.

🔹 Coder (Steven Kirby, Solutions Engineer)
Coder is an open-source, self-hosted platform that moves development off laptops and into governed remote environments. Define workspaces as code with Terraform and control the network access, tools, and files your AI agents can use. Booth 195.

🔹 Portainer (Neil Cresswell, CEO & Co-founder)
Portainer manages fleets of Docker and Kubernetes environments from one control plane. At KubeCon, see Portainer Command: just-in-time token access for AI agents, change requests become reviewable, and one-click rollback. Expect a live demo of an agent going rogue, and how to undo it. Booth 250.
