Talk 1:
Ahmed Muhi ([https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmedmuhi/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmedmuhi/))

In this talk Ahmed will be focusing on how Cilium can help developers and IT professionals simplify network management and enhance security in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters.

The talk will cover Kubernetes networking basics, an introduction to Cilium, and how it simplifies AKS network management. Ahmed will also delve into the importance of network security and demonstrate Cilium's network policy enforcement capabilities through a live demo or code walk through.

Talk 2:
Thom Toogood ([https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomtoogood/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomtoogood/))

SpinKube is an open source project that streamlines developing, deploying and operating WebAssembly workloads in Kubernetes - resulting in delivering smaller, more portable applications and incredible compute performance benefits.

As always.. thanks to Control Plane, Tetrate, CNCF and Cloud Native Summit for supporting this community initiative.

We look forward to seeing you there to learn, connect and support the community!
