Devcontainers and other advanced GitHub features
Speaker: Lars Kruse - The Tech Collective

DX - “Developer Experience” and IDP - “Internal Development Platform” are some of the most consistent and contemporary buzzes on the back of DevOps Classic.

This is a practical showcase on how to use Devcontainers, GitHub Actions, GitHub CLI, GitHub CoPilot in CodeSpaces and VS Code to create an Internal Development Platform and improve the Developer Experience.

Put the pedal to the metal, and improve your everyday work life as a software developer.

There will be running code from stage!

7:00 PM - 7:45 PM: Tech Talk 2 🌟
Moving Virtual Machines to K8S orchestrated containers
Speaker: David Christensen - Cloud Nation

Many companies take the journey from VM to cloud, oftentimes looking at the technologies and picking Kubernetes, but missing the cultural ‘requirements’ to do such a change.
This talk is going to be a hands on talk, of the steps going from a setup on-premise to a cloud driven Kubernetes setup, while touching on the cultural changes that enable success.
So what does it take to spin a monolithic C# application up in Kubernetes on any given cloud? After this, you’ll know that, plus the usual distractions and complications that arise both technically but more often from company culture.
