**📢 Agenda**

**18:30 –** Welcome & Networking

\*\*19:00 – “\*\**Platform at Mercedes-Benz.io and how to enable developers leveraging tools like Crossplane, Kyverno, etc.” by* Bertram Hass - CloudOps Engineer at Mercedes-Benz.io

*Abstract:* *The session will cover the Kubernetes journey of Mercedes-Benz.io, from its first single cluster in 2018 to today’s platform supporting 50+ product teams. In the second part, Bertram will share how they provide a self-service-first platform for end-to-end developer responsibility using tools like Crossplane, Kyverno, and more.*

**19:30 –** *“Your Data, Your AI: Integrating Secure Knowledge from the UI to the IDE”* by *João Almeida - SRE at Mercedes-Benz.io*

*Abstract:* *The power of AI is unlocked when it can securely reason over private data. This talk demos Carl.AI at Mercedes-Benz.io — starting with a context-aware assistant through a simple UI, then diving into a developer-first toolkit: a “RAG-as-a-Service” API and direct IDE integration via MCP. Learn how secure, internal knowledge becomes a seamless utility for every developer and team.*

**20:00 –** " CICD Setups at “scale as a service" by Luis Serra - Senior DevOps Eng at synvert xgeeks

*Abstract:* *Managing multiple CI/CD requirements presents significant challenges. Dealing from different operating systems, non-containerized solutions to high-resource-demand pipelines and specific tool versions— How can all these needs be met while ensuring scalability, cost-effectiveness, and adherence to best practices on a cloud platform? This talk introduces Fleeting Runners, a solution that delivers to development teams the ability to set up their own GitLab Runners abstracting underlayer infrastructure and observability management efforts.*

**20:30 –** Closing & Networking 🍕🍺
