**DETAILS ON THE TALKS**
**"Building large-scale Internal Developer Platforms: Core Principles"**
*"I was hoping for a slightly more detailed explanation of how cloud computing works than - It's magic" - Many companies build internal developer platforms in the cloud instead of handing over cloud accounts/credentials directly to their development teams. There may be various reasons for this, such as standardization, governance and cost control. Also the reduction of repetitive and complex tasks due to increasingly complex IT toolchains.*

*The Internal Developer Platform developed at RTL Data is based on these motivators. Today, it is used by over 30 very heterogeneous data product teams with technologies such as GCP/AWS/Azure, GKE/Kubernetes, Prometheus/Grafana/OpsGenie, Argo CD, Gitlab CI, Airflow, Terraform, (HashiCorp) Vault and in-house developments. The consistent decentralization & encapsulation of the infrastructure is quite unique at RTL and has already resulted in over 400 GCP projects and 100 GKE clusters in 2-3 years.*

*In the presentation, we will talk about the experience we have gained in setting up and introducing this highly individualized platform.*

**"How Platform helped with FinOps implementation"**
*FinOps is a powerful, cultural experience to drive efficiency, but can be a marathon to get started. Here we talk about how our existing platform tools benefited the start of our journey and how future platform implementations could accelerate it even further.*

**"Kubernetes Security: Understanding Attack Vectors and Defense Strategies"**
*Join Benedikt Iltisberger, Co-founder and Co-CTO at mogenius, as he explores the complex security landscape of Kubernetes. This talk will outline common attack vectors like API vulnerabilities and supply chain risks, reveal security pitfalls, and detail essential defense mechanisms for protecting your Kubernetes environment. Gain the knowledge needed to identify risks and implement effective security strategies.*
