Talk 1: Cloud Computing Circle Session
Who Owns Your Code? Data Sovereignty in the Age of AI Coding Agents
Speaker: Kunal Das, Developer Advocate Kimchi

About the Speaker: Kunal Das is Developer Advocate (APAC) at [Kimchi.dev](http://kimchi.dev/), the governed AI coding platform. He helps engineering teams adopt autonomous coding agents without losing control of models, data, quality, or spend.. Find him at kunaldas.net.

11:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Talk 2: AI Exchange Session
Compliance as Code - Cloud-Native AI Meets DPDP,
Speaker: Soumayajit Hazra

India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules are no longer theoretical: the Consent Manager framework goes live in November 2026, and full enforcement follows by May 2027. Yet most engineering teams have never translated the Act into an actual system design. This talk skips the legal recap and goes straight to the architecture: where your AI pipeline's data physically sits, how consent has to become a queryable API rather than a checkbox, why erasure gets genuinely hard once a model has trained on someone's data, and how a breach response has to satisfy two separate clocks at once.

About the Speaker: A Senior Project & Technical Program Manager at Shell, Soumayajit brings 18 years of expertise in driving large-scale digital transformation and enterprise software delivery.

11:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Talk 3: KSUG.AI Session
Build with AI Hands-on workshop: Cloud Engineering's AI Toolkit: Platform Engineering on GKE using Gemini
Speaker: Saurabh Mishra and Yongkang He, Google GDEs

Learn how platform teams can create self-service AI capabilities by combining GKE, Gemini, Vertex AI, GitOps, Kubernetes operators, service mesh, and policy-driven automation. We'll cover best practices for multi-tenant AI workloads, GPU scheduling, model deployment, security, observability, CI/CD for AI applications, and cost optimization.
Through a practical reference architecture and real-world implementation patterns, attendees will discover how to standardize AI application delivery, enable AI agent deployment, and provide developers with a secure, cloud-native platform that accelerates innovation while maintaining governance and operational excellence.

12:00 PM – 12:30 PM
Talk 4: Cloudera Session
A Deep Dive into Cloud Native Networking: Solving IPAM Locally with Docker and Calico
Speaker: Parth Goswami

Docker has fundamentally transformed how we build, share, and run software, paving the way for massive container deployments. However, as organizations scale these containerized workloads, managing unique IP addresses for every pod becomes a hidden infrastructure bottleneck.

This talk explores how to seamlessly bridge development and production networking using Docker Desktop’s robust Kubernetes integration. We’ll see how developers can leverage Docker’s ecosystem to safely design, deploy, and debug advanced open-source CNI plugins like Calico right on their machines.

About the Speaker: Parth Goswami is an open source enthusiast and mostly works with containers and networking. He loves contributing to open source by hosting meetups and interacting with the community.
