**🚀 We're thrilled to announce the next Cloud Native Meetup @ ING!** Come join us for an evening of talks, great conversations, and good food. Expect fresh insights, real-world stories, and the kind of hallway chats that spark your next big idea. **Agenda** 🕕 18\.00 — Doors open \| Food & drinks 🎤 19.00 — Welcome 🔐 19.15 — What I'll Tell My Kids About K8s Security *(Lars Lefebvre, ING)* 🚀 19.45 — K8s-wish and other LLM adventures *(Andrew Yourtchenko)* ☕ 20.15 — Break ⏳ 20.30 — Kubestronaut Panel 🤝 21.00 — Networking **Getting here** **No on site parking available**, instruction on how to get there [over here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FYT8vBU513koHhvOyqW8tQshbzAhlzQ_/view?usp=sharing). **If coming by car, please only refer to the public car park instructions.** Access via entrance A, then follow the signs. **Sessions:** **Session 1:** **What I'll Tell My Kids About K8s Security (Lars Lefebvre, ING):** What I'll Tell My Kids About K8s Security is a creative and story-driven talk that makes Kubernetes security approachable — even for those who aren't deep in the weeds of K8s. Framed through metaphors and everyday analogies, the talk explores complex security challenges in a fun and memorable way. In the second half, I'll share the story behind an open source tool we built at ING to help teams uncover and understand real-world security issues in their clusters. *Bio:* Lars is a dedicated Cloud and Application Security Engineer with a strong background in the Cloud Native stack. He’s experienced in managing multi-cloud environments, promoting cloud-native practices, and enhancing security measures in software development lifecycles. **Session 2:** **K8s-wish and other LLM adventures (Andrew Yourtchenko)** Can we use LLMs to avoid writing YAML? This talk explores two approaches — a single-shot LLM call and a full agentic loop — using two open source projects, and what each gets right and wrong. *Bio*: After 25 years at Cisco across three lives — TAC Security, IPv6 technical marketing, and high-performance networking software — Andrew is now building open source agentic AI tools and doing occasional consulting. He is a coauthor of DHCPv6 and other RFCs, and holds 4 US patents. **Session 3: Kubestronaut Panel** *30 minutes \| Q&A* Meet a panel of Kubestronauts, some even Golden. We'll kick off with a quick intro to what a Kubestronaut (and Golden Kubestronaut) actually is, then dive straight into an interactive Q&A. Hear about their journey, what the grind really looks like, and what they'd do differently. This session is all about the conversation. *Bio Olivier Calzi (Golden Kubestronaut):* From pulling Ethernet cables as a student in France to becoming a Golden Kubestronaut, I have spent 10 years learning the stack from the ground up. Now a Cloud Native Expert with 15 CNCF certifications, I focus on SRE and infrastructure architecture. I'm a firm believer in the "work-study" model and a lifelong student who still finds engineering deeply fun. *Bio François Duthilleul (Golden Kubestronaut):* François Duthilleul is a Principal Solutions Architect at Red Hat, leading the security domain in the EMEA Telco CoE, co-author of the OpenShift Security book, and contributing to O-RAN and Sylva standardisation. The first Belgian Golden Kubestronaut and 2025 Top SSA, he brings 15+ years of network cloudification experience — and you'll find him at rock concerts, on a road bike, or talking cloud-native over a craft beer. *Bio Evelien Schellekens (Kubestronaut):* Evelien is a Principal Solutions Architect at Elastic. She enjoys sharing knowledge through public speaking and interacting with the technical community. She’s passionate about observability and open source technologies like Kubernetes and OpenTelemetry.

Every season carries its own quiet invitation - a moment to pause, to reconnect, and to rediscover what helps us feel well. At SERENDIP, we’ve always believed that wellbeing is not a destination, but a series of small, meaningful encounters. A spark of serendipity. A shift in perspective. A ritual that brings you back to yourself. Today, we’re delighted to introduce SERENDIP Seasons - our new quarterly celebration of that journey. **The very first edition, Spring Renewal, will take place on April 9th and 10th.** Over two days, we open our community to inspiration, science-based insights, sensory experiences, and the simple joy of gathering. Each edition reflects the rhythm of the season - from spring’s renewal to winter’s glow - and brings together online micro-sessions, studio offerings, special moments, and our signature Wellbeing Apero. It’s an invitation to discover something new, reconnect with what nourishes you, and step into the next season with intention. **Welcome to SERENDIP Seasons – Spring Renewal** Thursday, April 9th and Friday, April 10th A 2-day event that you can join from our home, office chair, or chez nous.

Join us for our monthly conversations. **Open to everyone**

What's up Friends! 👋 
Ready for some bouldering fun? Boulder-what? 🤔 It’s climbing (FR: escalade, le bloc) up to 4.5m high without ropes—and in my case, without much hope! 😂✨ It’s a super fun indoor activity, but be warned: it does require a certain level of physical fitness and/or skill. Most importantly, though, it requires awesome company—which we’ve got! 😎
 The Idea: 📍 Meeting Point: For those arriving at 17:00, we’ll meet at the cafeteria (next to the billiards table). Feel free to start earlier or later—just drop me a message or write in the group chat so we can meet up. 💪 Stay & climb as long as you want - venue closes at midnight! 🥤 Recharge: If you’ve had enough climbing for the day (we usually do this after 2 hours of climbing), we may head back to the cafeteria (or to the rooftop if it's sunny🌤️) for snacks, drinks & games. Cafeteria closes at 22:00. Where: 📍Arkose: (Brussels Canal) Rue Willy de Bruyn Straat 52, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgique 🔗 https://arkose.com/

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
