### Abstracts

#### OAuth2 and OIDC Demystified: How it actually works in 100 lines of code

Speaker: Jan Larwig, OAuth2 Proxy Maintainer & Senior Platform Engineer @ StackIt
OAuth2 and OIDC are foundational to modern platforms, yet they’re still widely misunderstood. OAuth2 is not authentication. OIDC is not “just OAuth with user info.” And most explanations make things worse.
This talk rebuilds the concepts from the groundup. We’ll cover flows, tokens, and trust boundaries, then map that understanding to live-coding a minimal OAuth2 Proxy in 100 lines of Go. If you’ve ever configured auth in Kubernetes, fronted an app with a proxy, or wondered what’s really happening during “Login with X,” this talk is for you.

#### One Platform, Many Teams: Driving Kubernetes Adoption Across E.ON

Speaker: Rameez Ahmad, Senior Solution Architect-Container Platform @ E.ON Digital Technology
In this talk, I will share how E.ON is enabling internal teams & subsidiaries to accelerate their cloud-native journey through a centralised Managed Container Platform built on Azure Kubernetes Service.
I will walk through E.ON K8s platform architecture & how we combine platform services, security & enterprise integrations into a cohesive, developer friendly platform.
The session will highlight real world challenges such as multi-team onboarding, governance, and balancing developer autonomy with enterprise standards.
