Sessions:

1. NGINX Ingress Controller: Secure Your Ingress by Martin Petersen
   NGINX Ingress Controller steers traffic into Kubernetes clusters. This session will set a focus on the ingress controller – showcasing several use cases – including advanced security features like authentication and web application security. The session will finish with a short outlook around “next generation ingress” aka Gateway API. The whole session will have minimal PowerPoint slides, focusing on on live demos and Q&A.
2. NGINX Unit: The Lightweight Universal Web App Server by Steffan Henke
   NGINX Unit is a lightweight and versatile open-source server that has three core capabilities: it is a web server for static media assets, an application server that runs code in multiple languages, and a reverse proxy.

About Our Speakers:
Martin Petersen a specialist solution engineer within F5, focusing on modern apps and cloud architectures. This includes a holistic view of multi-cloud and how to manage AND secure apps (modern, hybrid, legacy) as well as how to steer traffic securely into a k8s cluster.
He loves to discuss how to approach challenges in modern architecures and how to mitigate it. Due to his background (Net & Sec Ops), I can understand the pain points for Net & SecOps following agile / modern architectures and always try to find solutions to get the best of both worlds: fast & secure, distributed & easy to manage/steer, fractured & observable. He has over 20 years experience in IT - starting as SecOps, Security Engineer and Security Consultant - before joining F5 in 2016 as Solution Engineer.

Steffan Henke is a Technical Solutions Engineer at NGINX/F5 based in Warsaw, Poland. Having worked in the IT sector for more than 25 years he has built a diverse background encompassing Security, Networking, Hardware and Software architecture. Coming from IT Operations, Steffan has a UNIX/Linux background and loves NGINX. Steffan interacts daily with NGINX customers, helping them translate their requirements into modern architecture.
