Agenda:

1. Highway to the Danger Zone: How your copilot help you write code faster by Paul Hidalgo, Trend Micro

There were a couple of announcements during the past few week about two co-pilot technologies and people are wondering, how do they work? In this session, Paul and Friends from Trend Micro will share how to write an entire application stack quickly with new code auto pilot technologies and how can security be automated to check if the co pilot is doing a good job in writing secure code.

2. Manage your clusters like you manage your code: simple GitOps on Amazon EKS by Richard Neil Ilagen, AWS

Container clusters --- Kubernetes included --- are notorious for becoming incredibly complicated to manage incredibly fast. In this session, we'll introduce and talk about GitOps, a popular approach in managing your clusters in a scalable, secure, and often hands-free manner. Borrowing concepts from IaC and software engineering practices, GitOps allows you to manage your resources much like how you manage your application code.

3. Karpenter: The EKS Cluster Autoscaling where pod requirements matter by Matt Kucia, Affinidi

Containerization, orchestration and public clouds are great! But what has happened to the promise of infinite scalability? Why do we still have to deal with capacity planning? In this presentation, Karpenter is compared to the classic autoscaler. Get familiar with dual control loop design that enables dynamic optimization. You will learn how the new tool helps with cost optimization and operations, streamlining by tapping directly into both AWS and Kubernetes APIs.

4. Networking at nearby Pub :)
