🎤 Talks & Speakers

• Title: "Proxmox HCS (Home Cloud Services)"
• Speaker: Oliana Cintas - Senior IT consultant at ERNI.
• Duration: 30-45 mins
• Abstract: In this session, Oliana will demonstrate how to use the open-source platform Proxmox to build a personal data center or "HomeLab" for less than 250€. We will walk through a real-world scenario: deploying a frontend web app using a fully automated CI/CD pipeline. You’ll learn how to integrate GitLab, LXC containers, and Terraform to mirror professional environments right from your living room. Stepping into a specialized, high-stakes role can be intimidating—especially when mistakes are costly. DevOps is the perfect example: the "barrier to entry" often feels like it requires a massive enterprise budget just to practice. But is it possible to master production-grade DevOps without breaking the bank?
• About: Oliana Cintas is a Maker with over 8 years of experience in the automotive sector. He is the former co-owner of a non-profit maker association and an app startup.

• Title: "FinOps from Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost"
• Speaker: Julia Lamenza - Senior SRE & Cloud Architect - Consultant
• Duration: 30-45 mins
• Abstract: Cloud costs often become visible only after deployment. In fast-moving environments, engineering teams can unintentionally introduce expensive infrastructure changes with every pull request. This talk explores how to shift left cost awareness by embedding FinOps directly into the development workflow. Using Terraform and Infracost, we can bring real-time cost estimation into pull requests, enabling engineers to understand the financial impact of their changes before deployment.
• About: Site Reliability Engineer with 13+ years of experience building and operating scalable infrastructure across cloud and hybrid environments. Outside of work, she enjoys speaking at tech events, exploring new places, and building connections within the community.
