Talk 1: Happy Birthday Kubernetes

In the last ten years, Kubernetes, Containers, and the Cloud Native Ecosystem changed the way we operate systems, and supports us in our daily life. In this session, friends of Kubernetes will tell their story and how Kubernetes changed their lives.

Speakers: TBA

Talk 2: Katharina Sick - Finding My Passion: Kubernetes, Community, and the Joy of Developer Experience

Like many developers, the world of deployments and CI/CD pipelines made me want to run for the hills. But then I stumbled into the Cloud Native world, and everything changed!

Even though I'm still relatively new to the game (about three years in), I've become hooked on how Kubernetes and its ecosystem empower platform engineers to make a significant impact on developer productivity and experience. In this talk, I'll share my journey and what keeps me excited about Kubernetes – the fantastic open source community, the incredible levels of collaboration, and how it's changing the way we think about software delivery.

Talk 3: Constanze Roedig - How Kubernetes Taught Me Confidence & Creativity

10 years ago I was afraid of making mistakes , today I’m not.

What changed?

I started working with a technology that allows ephemeral environments, as realistic as I want them , as many as I want , at an affordable cost and most importantly: environments that can be wiped clean in seconds
When you work in financial accounting, creative experiments tend to get you fired not promoted.
So this talk tells the story of how the advent of Docker/ Kubernetes fundamentally changed an SAP IFRS17 implementation and taught us the right way of making mistakes

As always, we've got snacks, drinks and enough time for networking. See you at the party!
