Agenda:
🤝 18:00 - 18:30: Gathering and Networking 🍷 Grab a drink and mingle with fellow cloud-native enthusiasts. This is your chance to connect with professionals from various backgrounds and build valuable connections.

📣 Ramūnas Balukonis, Site Reliability Engineer at Omnisend - Lights Out: Turning Off the Cloud When Nobody’s Home
We will explore how teams can automatically shut down non-essential cloud resources — like development and testing environments — during non-business hours. We'll dive into what challenges Omnisend had to solve while implementing automated shutdown/startup cycles and how to cut cloud costs without sacrificing development speed.

📣 Augustinas Šimelionis, Engineering Manager at Omnisend - Cloud Native, the Hard Way: Mistakes from Our VM to K8s Journey
Unfiltered experience moving from a VM-based setup to a containerized Kubernetes platform. We'll focus on the mistakes, cultural hurdles and cost surprises. Also, practices which worked really well. We will share how not to "step on a rake" while performing similar transition in your organization. and thoughts about what we are planning next.

📣 Ignas Kaziukėnas, Engineering Manager at CloudKitchens - ArgoCD: Fun with Many Kubernetes Clusters
ArgoCD is one of the most successful Cloud Native projects, but can it handle multiple clusters' worth of applications well? We will talk about our journey of moving from an in-house release system to ArgoCD and some very infra-specific use cases that make this process more challenging.

📣 Daniil Kornev, Lead Systems Engineer at EPAM Systems - How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Jenkins on Kubernetes
A straight‑to‑the‑point story of moving Jenkins from one big VM to Kubernetes. We’ll look at the bumps — JCasC surprises, cutting old plugins, and tricky pod templates — and the wins: agents that scale in seconds, config stored in Git, and reduced idle costs.

🍕 20:00 - 21:00: Networking and Refreshments. Continue the conversation, exchange ideas, and make new connections over snacks and drinks.
