About us

Cloud Native tech and Kubernetes goes Helsinki! Cloud Native and Kubernetes Helsinki is the official Cloud Native Computing Foundation Meetup group about the technologies hosted under CNCF umbrella: \

Kubernetes \
Prometheus \
OpenTelemetry \
Fluentd \
CoreDNS \
linkerd \
containerd \
gRPC \
CNI
We host talks from anyone doing cool things with Kubernetes, and the other CNCF technologies, including companies using them in production or vendors who are pushing the boundaries of what the cloud native techs can do.
Presentations will be focused on introduction slides, guides, workshops, adoption stories and demos, but not sales pitches. The meetup will be organized in an open and democratic way, where anyone that wants to help out organizing or speaking will be truly welcome.
To become an organizer or speaker, please reach out to us!
This meetup's official language is English; the conversations and presentations will be in English.

19:00 - 19:30 Right-sized Kubernetes Access Control with Conditional Authorization, by Lucas Käldström, Kubernetes contributor
Have you ever struggled writing least-privilege access control policies for Kubernetes? Are you concerned about the wide permissions of installed Helm charts? Do you manage to regularly audit who has access to sensitive resources?
In this talk, Kubernetes contributor Lucas introduces you to open source tools that help you on your defense in depth journey for securing the Kubernetes API surface. They demonstrate how to right-size your RBAC rules semi-automatically, audit who can access sensitive resources, and check whether policy refactors are correct.
This talk is part of a journey to improve Kubernetes access control in core. However, to make this initiative successful, user feedback is needed throughout the process. You’ll learn about the planned Kubernetes Conditional Authorization feature, which will make authoring right-sized policies easier.

19:30 - 20:00 Break, networking
20:00 - 20:30: The LLM Gateway Is an Ingress Controller. Treat It Like One, by Juan Antonio Osorio, Software Engineer, Stacklok
The AI gateway has quietly become the most valuable credential aggregator in the enterprise. One process holds OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, and Gemini keys for every team. The March 2026 LiteLLM TeamPCP supply-chain compromise showed what that costs: one backdoored PyPI release, every credential in the gateway exposed in minutes.
This talk is about what you do before that lands. Every LLM gateway is an ordered pipeline, and the security of the pipeline is a property of its ordering, not of any individual stage. The worked example is upstream Envoy AI Gateway (CNCF project under the Envoy umbrella); the lens applies to any gateway that fronts LLMs.

20:30 - 21:00 Networking
