Discover how platform engineering teams can deploy AI-native apps faster using Vultr’s full-stack infrastructure: built for scale, speed, and sovereignty. Learn how to leverage GPUs, golden path templates, and hybrid cloud with built-in data residency and compliance.

In this session, we’ll hear from Kevin Cochrane as he shares insights on:

* How to deploy templated GPU-ready environments in minutes using Vultr’s full-stack cloud—purpose-built for platform engineers.

* How to streamline AI workloads across hybrid, multi-cloud setups with on-demand sovereign cloud and full data residency support.

* How to go beyond the neo clouds: offering not just GPUs, but a complete platform for AI, with composable infrastructure and developer-first design.

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.

Build AI-native infrastructure with GPUs and platform engineering

Online event

As Kubernetes adoption accelerates, Helm charts have become a de facto standard for deploying applications at scale. However, with this convenience comes significant security risks. Public Helm charts, often used without thorough inspection, can hold a wide variety of misconfigurations, insecure defaults, and vulnerable dependencies, providing attackers with opportunities for privilege escalation, data exfiltration, or even full-cluster compromise.

This webinar will explore the evolving threat landscape around Helm charts in public repositories. From real-world incidents, like the Codecov supply chain attack, to hypothetical attack vectors like "ChartSploit", we’ll highlight how seemingly benign configurations can be exploited. You'll gain insights into the anatomy of vulnerable charts, key risk areas such as RBAC misconfigurations and dependency vulnerabilities, and what recent CNCF data tells us about industry-wide exposure.

Most importantly, we’ll cover actionable strategies for securing your Kubernetes environments, such as:

* Auditing Helm deployments
* Verifying chart integrity
* Enforcing strict access controls
* Adopting DevSecOps practices that shift security left.

Whether you're a platform engineer, security analyst, or DevOps practitioner, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to identify and mitigate risks in your Helm chart ecosystem.

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
