Secret management/ Handling secret in k8s
Jeet Desai

Learn how to securely manage sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, certificates, and tokens in Kubernetes. This session will cover Kubernetes Secrets, encryption at rest, RBAC, secret rotation, external secret management solutions like External Secrets Operator, HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and Azure Key Vault, along with production best practices and common security pitfalls to avoid.

OpenTelemetry for Everyone: From Zero to Observability
Urvish Jaiswal

Observability has become essential for building and operating modern applications, but getting started with OpenTelemetry can often feel overwhelming. This session is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, SREs, and platform teams who want to understand OpenTelemetry from the ground up.
We'll begin by exploring what observability really means and why logs alone are no longer enough. You'll learn the three pillars of observability—metrics, logs, and traces—and how OpenTelemetry provides a vendor-neutral standard for collecting and exporting telemetry data.

👥 Who Should Join?
• Software Developers looking to containerize their apps
• DevOps Engineers wanting to master the fundamentals
• Teams looking for simplifying secrets management & streamlining their observability
• Cloud Native enthusiasts wanting to stay updated
