Kube Intelligence - A Metric Based Insightful Remediation Recommender - Yash Bhatnagar, Google

Wednesday June 11, 2025 11:45 - 12:15 HKT

Level 19 | Crystal Court I

Not everything can be thought about while designing or developing the applications, and as such lot of the design decisions are based on estimates and potential usage patterns.

More often that not, these estimates differ from reality and introduce inefficiencies in the system across several fronts - and if at all visible, it always much later in the lifecycle when you already have several customers & high footprint.

And hence, unless there is a clear sign of performance degradation or unjustified costs, there is often no incentive to invest time & effort for some unknown gains.

In this session Yash will outline a real world case study about how they went about building an internal platform for handling several aspects of post deployment challenges like

1. rightsizing opportunities,
2. architecture migrations like moving to serverless,
3. finding right maintenance windows, etc

by using a wide range of metrics, and how impactful these minor optimizations turned out to be.

Progressive Delivery Made Easy With Argo Rollouts - Kevin Dubois, Red Hat

Wednesday June 11, 2025 13:45 - 14:15 HKT

Level 19 | Crystal Court I

ou might already be using a CI/CD solution, but are you 100% sure things will roll out without a glitch once you go to production? Unfortunately differences between testing/staging and production environments are virtually unavoidable. There’s always a risk for unforeseen issues related to your production environment and/or actual load which can lead to potential disruptions to your users.

Progressive delivery is the next step after Continuous Delivery to roll out your application in a controlled and automated way so you can verify and test your application *in production* before it becomes fully available to all your user bases.

Embrace GitOps and Progressive Delivery with techniques like blue-green, canary release, shadowing traffic, dark launches and automatic metrics-based rollouts to validate the application in production using Kubernetes and tools like Istio, Prometheus, ArgoCD, and Argo Rollouts.

Come to this session to learn about Progressive Delivery in action using Kubernetes.

The Past, the Present, and the Future of Platform Engineering - Mauricio "Salaboy" Salatino, Diagrid & Viktor Farcic, Upbound

Wednesday June 11, 2025 14:30 - 15:00 HKT

Level 19 | Crystal Court I

Do you think platform engineering is too hard? Or is it just a buzzword? Is the CNCF landscape too tricky to visualize? If you’ve been in this industry long enough, you should know that platform engineering has been around for a long time.

Most of us have been trying to build developer platforms for decades, and most of us have failed at that. That begs the questions: “What is different now?” “Why will this time be different?” and “Do we have a chance to succeed?”

We’ll take a look at the past, the present, and the future of platform engineering. We’ll see what we were doing in the past, what we did wrong, and why we failed. Further on, we’ll see what we (the industry as a whole) are doing now and, more importantly, where we might go from here.

Get ready for the hard truths and challenges you will face when trying to build a platform based on Kubernetes. Join us for a pain-infused journey filled with challenges teams will face when building platforms to enable other teams.

Composable Platforms: Modular Platform Engineering With Kratix and Backstage - Hossein Salahi, Liquid Reply

Wednesday June 11, 2025 15:30 - 16:00 HKT

Level 19 | Crystal Court I

Constructing and managing platforms for diverse teams and workloads presents a significant challenge in today's cloud-native environment. This session introduces the concept of composable platforms, using modular, reusable components as the foundation for platform engineering. This talk will demonstrate how using Kratix, a workload-centric framework, and Backstage an extensible developer portal enables the creation of self-service platforms that balance standardization with adaptability.

The session will detail platform design for scalability and governance, streamlining developer workflows through Backstage, and using Kratix Promises for varied workload requirements. Attendees will gain practical insights into building scalable and maintainable platforms through real-world examples, architectural patterns, and a live demonstration of a fully integrated Kratix-Backstage deployment.
