Cloud Networking

We'd like to invite you to our second installation for the Cloud Native Vienna Meetups in 2026! Again we'll have two deep-dive talks and time to network and chat with friends in the Viennese cloud native community. A big thank you to **willhaben** for hosting us and providing food and drinks! The meetup will take place at the **willhaben** (Bürozentrum 1, Landstraßer Hauptstraße 97-101, 1030 Wien). You can reach the office from inside the “Galleria Landstraße” mall. After entering through the main entrance, you’ll find the entrance to Bürozentrum 1 (a big red door) on your right, just past the chocolate shop. Take the elevator to floor 3A (look for the button with the willhaben logo). **Agenda:** * **17:30:** Doors Open & Networking * **17:55:** Welcome from the Organizers * **18:00:** **Talk 1:** Lukas Zainzinger – ***willhaben’s Journey to AWS MSK – A retrospective on Security, Costs, and Reality*** * **18:45:** Break & Refreshments * **19:00:** **Talk 2:** David Hondl – ***Monster-Sized Gitops; How to scale Argo CD*** * **19:45:** Open Networking We look forward to seeing you there! \-\-\- **Talks:** Lukas Zainzinger (willhaben) ***willhaben’s Journey to AWS MSK – A retrospective on Security, Costs, and Reality*** Migrating to managed services is rarely a plug-and-play experience. In this talk, we walk through Willhaben’s transition to Managed Kafka on AWS (MSK), sharing the authentic story of our integration rather than a textbook tutorial. We will dive into the specific hurdles we faced, focusing on how we engineered solutions for strict security and access control requirements. Additionally, we’ll discuss the financial aspect—specifically the pricing issues we encountered and the adjustments we made to solve them. This isn't a lecture on the "one right way" to do things, but a transparent look at the decisions, challenges, and learnings we gathered along our own journey. *Bio:* Lukas joined willhaben as a Platform SRE in 2024, following a career path that transitioned from Application Management to specialized DevOps roles at Raiffeisen Informatik, Shöpping and Siemens. Throughout his journey, he has developed a deep expertise in Kubernetes, Terraform and multiple Cloud Providers, always with an eye toward improving developer experience and system reliability. Currently a Master’s student at Hochschule Burgenland, Lukas bridges the gap between academic cloud research and real-world infrastructure challenges. He is particularly passionate about leveraging cloud-native and managed services to build robust, fault-tolerant infrastructure. David Hondl (Dynatrace) ***Monster-Sized Gitops; How to scale Argo CD*** Argo CD is one of the most popular and widely spread GitOps tools for Kubernetes and part of the backbone of many internal developer platforms. Also Argo CD can undoubtedly be a beast - and a huge one at that, as anyone scaling it for a production environment has probably seen in one way or another. But what if simply having a massive installation is not enough for us? What if we want to go even bigger from here, raise it to beyond what we thought feasible? Create more Applications, more ApplicationSets and render more resources at the same time? These are the questions that we will tackle in this talk. We are going to take a look at the different Argo CD components, from the frontend to the K8s controllers and how they behave at scale. We will examine how far they can bend and especially when and how they will break. Based on what we find, we are going to figure out how to tweak these parts in just the right way. And in the end we will hopefully be able to turn Argo CD into a bigger monster than it ever was. *Bio:* I'm a Cloud Engineer at Dynatrace and I'm super passionate about all things Platform Engineering and the cloud-native community. I use (and build) platforms to create better developer experiences and love to share my knowledge as a speaker as well as actively organize meetups around the topic.

The system started over 10 years ago as a monolith, and many teams have developed within it, adding their flavors and understanding of the architectural patterns and the architecture trends at that time. This has led to maintenance issues and unclear guidance for new developers. We tackled parts of this by introducing tests that ensure the layering of vertical slices is consistent. Our solution is based on the following approaches: \* Fitness Functions from Evolutionary Architecture \* Ports & Adapters and Layered Architecture \* Approval Testing \* Architecture Tests We will cover these topics and the ideas we borrowed from them. The talk will also focus on the dynamics that these tests initiated within the team and another contributing team, leading to fruitful discussions, better shared understanding of the technical vision, and clear refactoring targets for developers. **About Tim Paulus:** As a developer, Tim faces the typical challenge of inheriting a software project with proven business value in its domain, yet needing to transform its architecture to meet new technical and organizational requirements. **About Patrick Säuerl:** Patrick is an experienced software architect and technical lead who has supported numerous teams and developers on their journey. With several years of experience in various projects, he has shifted his focus to technical leadership, team collaboration, and Domain-Driven Design (DDD). He places particular emphasis on collaborative modeling, with preferred methods including Specification by Example, User Story Mapping, Event Storming, and Event Modeling. Patrick promotes both intra-team collaboration and cross-team collaboration in scaled environments. Location, Food & Drinks are sponsored by TechTalk. **Timetable:** \- 18:00: Door opens at TechTalk \- 18:15: Intro \- 18:20: Talk starts \- 19:30: Food & Drinks \- 21:00: End Recordings will be available afterward at https://go.dotnetdevs.at/recordings This meetup is organized by DotNetDevs.at (https://dotnetdevs.at/).

The Tech Stack: Agentic Systems, Claude Code & CoWork. Architektur & Setup: Einblick in Installation, Struktur und Systemdesign. Skills & Brains: Integrationen, Kostenoptimierung und alternative LLMs. **Deep Dive: Agentic Operations & Security** Agent Social Networks: Wenn KIs miteinander kommunizieren. Security & Risks: Massive Sicherheitsfragen bei autonomen Systemen. Future Corporate Structures: Wie Agenten Hierarchien und Entscheidungsprozesse verändern. **Podiumsdiskussion: Die Agentic Economy** Wie autonome Systeme Teams, Prozesse und Geschäftsmodelle neu definieren. Welche Chancen entstehen und wo reale Grenzen liegen. **BBQ, Open Bar & Afterparty** Networking, Austausch und entspannter Ausklang des Abends im Web3 Hub Vienna. *** 💡 **FÜR WEN IST DIESES EVENT?** Gründer:innen & Entscheider:innen: Wenn du verstehen willst, wie KI zum skalierbaren Co-Worker wird. Tech-Builder: Wenn du operative Prozesse durch autonome Systeme transformieren möchtest. Developers & Hobbyists: Wenn du dich für selbstgehostete oder agentische Architekturen interessierst. Security-Experten: Wenn du dich mit den Risiken von „Autonomous Computer Use“ beschäftigst. *** ## Warum OpenClaw? OpenClaw ist ein Meilenstein. Zum ersten Mal fungiert eine KI wirklich als persönlicher Assistent, der nicht nur auf Befehle wartet, sondern dich proaktiv informiert, Briefings erstellt und Aufgaben innerhalb vertrauter Schnittstellen wie WhatsApp oder iMessage erledigt. **Sichere dir jetzt deinen Platz im Web3 Hub Vienna!**
