Session description: Superpowering Kubernetes: AI-Enhanced Management and Security

Discover how AI is revolutionizing Kubernetes management, simplifying complex tasks, and enhancing operational efficiency. This session will provide an accessible overview of AI's role in predictive analysis, resource optimization, and automated problem-solving, significantly easing the workload for DevOps teams. A special focus will be on the integration of eBPF with AI for advanced security forensic analysis, enhancing real-time threat response. Concluding with a demonstration of tools like AIAC, K8sGPT, and Robusta, this talk offers practical insights into using AI for more efficient and secure Kubernetes management.

About Philippe: more than 20+ years of experience in security. Starting out as a trainer specializing in advanced TCP/IP protocols, networking and security, Philippe quickly became known by colleagues as “Philippe hacks to learn”.

• Session by Pieter Lewyllie from Red Hat (30'')

Remember the good ol' days with VMs? 🏛️ What magic unfolds when you mix them with Kubernetes? Enter Kubevirt! 🚀 In this session, I'll unravel the full-circle journey and spotlight the perks of running Kubevirt. And, while we're at it... Let's chat about running Kubernetes on... Kubernetes, shall we? 🤯 Join me for a lively exploration!

About Pieter: Solution Architect at Red Hat with a passion for Kubernetes. I'm discussing day in, day out about Kubernetes (and indeed OpenShift) with customers and, in the last year, have been heavily focussed on security as we see more and more critical workloads running on our favorite platform. Networking heads-up for the locals: I'm a Walloon in Flemish disguise (named Pieter), so you can talk to me in French natively although Dutch, English are also fine ;-)
