In Kubernetes 1.30 authentication just got a whole lot hotter! Join us as we explore Kubernetes Structured Authentication Configuration, including support for multiple JWT authenticators and policy-based access control with CEL. Drop the command line argument - we’ll show you how to navigate the centralized config file approach.

Topic: Cloud Native

Modern cloud applications and platforms make it easy to use multiple data services and tools resulting in wide range of deployments, services and data stores within an organization.
This poses a challenge for data protection and disaster recovery because all those tools have their own mechanisms, datastores and recommendations for backup and restore.
In this talk we're going to learn how to use K8s tools to organize data protection processes and make day2 operations easier using CNCF project Kanister.

This session introduce a Dashboard-AI architecture running on Kata container

The platform is powered by LLM image to provide services such as data analysis, data forecast and dashboard generation

Usage of kata container allows us to scale and monitor a cluster of secured images

Ildiko Vancsa
Audience: Beginner

Get a technology overview of how Kata Containers, an open source, secure container runtime project, utilizes virtualization technology to overcome the biggest gap in traditional containers, the lack of isolation. The project is running in production in large public clouds, financial institutions, and being utilized for machine learning use cases to ensure data privacy. For an additional layer of protection Kata can be integrated with the Confidential Containers (CoCo) project, which brings confidential computing mechanisms into the container space.

Ever wanted your own private version of ChatGPT? LLMs offer powerful capabilities, but not everyone is comfortable sending their data over the internet to Microsoft, OpenAI, or Anthropic. Fortunately, open-source tools make it possible to set up and customize a local, secure LLM on your own terms. From installation to optimization, this talk will guide you through the process step by step, with demos to illustrate each stage. It’s time to build your own mini-Jarvis and start getting things done, efficiently, securely, and privately.

Audience: Beginner
Topic: Observability

Come get refreshed on the impact some basic choices in statistical behavior can have on what gets triggered. Learn why a median might be the choice for historical anomaly or sudden change. Jump into Gaussian distributions, data alignment challenges and the trouble with sampling. Walk out with a deeper understanding of your metrics and what they might tell you.

Jamie Parker
Audience: Everyone

Running OpenStack on Kubernetes is a great idea for many reasons, but there is one very large drawback: when something goes wrong on Day 2, how do you find it?  In this talk, we will explain our approach to a rather complex Observability problem using both OpenStack Services and Cloud Native Observability tools.

Ildiko Vancsa
Audience: Beginner

Learn about how StarlingX takes well-known open source platforms, such as Kubernetes and OpenStack, and enables them to build geographically distributed infrastructure for the most demanding use cases, like 5G and telecommunications netoworks, industrial IoT, and more.

This session will highlight how the platform takes datacenter building blocks and provides users with the ability to manage them remotely, as one large system on a massive scale. The audience will also learn what is new in the latest, 10.0 release and get an early seek peak into the 11.0 roadmap.

Topic: PostgreSQL

Language is a Virus: Locales and PostgreSQL

This is a pragmatic look at PostgreSQL's support for locales, in particular around character encoding and collations. This is intended for DBAs and developers who want to make use of PostgreSQL's extensive locale features with a minimum number of gotchas. Among the topics are:

* A quick overview of locales, character encodings, and collations.
* What a "locale provider," and how do you use it?
* How do various collations perform?
* What are the use cases for various locales?
* And what is this horrible thing about index corruption I hear ab

Topic: MySQL

This talk is about users who uses MySQL either as a normal user or as a Database Administrator (DBA) or someone who just want to view the query result for analytics and need to visualize the result so that be able to monitor and observe it and even send out alerts if detect a change in patterns or KPIs using Grafana OSS and Alerting module.
