**IMPORTANT UPDATE:** Due to unexpected sick leaves within our speaker and organizing team, **we have to postpone this MeetUp to June 25th**. Everything else stays the same. **@everyone: Please review and update your RSVP status accordingly.** \-\-\- We'd like to invite you to our fourth 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 **WKO Inhouse GmbH** for hosting us and providing food and drinks! **Agenda:** * **17:30:** Doors Open & Networking * **17:55:** Welcome from the Organizers * **18:00:** **Talk 1:** Rober Klonner (WKO Inhouse GmbH) **GitOps Visibility: Precise Argo CD diffs on every Pull Request** * **18:45:** Break & Refreshments * **19:00:** **Talk 2:** Thomas Hanser (Untis GmbH) **The Untis Platform Engineering Journey: GitOps Multi-Tenancy with Flux, GitLab, and Friends** * **19:45:** Open Networking We look forward to seeing you there! \-\-\- **Talks:** Rober Klonner (WKO Inhouse Gmbh) **GitOps Visibility: Precise Argo CD diffs on every Pull Request** Today's GitOps deployments are generated through layers of templating - Helm charts, Kustomize or ApplicationSets. Modifying these abstractions and trying to mentally render the output is error-prone. This talk introduces a method that uses Argo CD itself to render accurate diffs of Helm charts and Kustomize overlays between branches and posts the result directly on your pull request. We'll walk through a production setup using the Argo CD Operator, Argo CD Diff Preview, and GitLab CI, optimized for performance, minimal maintenance, and security. Through real-world use cases, we'll show what issues this approach catches before they hit your cluster. Thomas Hanser (Untis GmbH) **The Untis Platform Engineering Journey: GitOps Multi-Tenancy with Flux, GitLab, and Friends** Operating in the European education sector means juggling compliance, student privacy and massive traffic spikes when school starts. Historically at Untis, keeping this running in production was the burden of a single operations team. This session details our transition to an automated, multi-tenant GitOps platform managing a fleet of internal and external Kubernetes clusters. We share our approach of building a platform that gives product teams actual autonomy without compromising on security or control: * **Structured Multi-Tenancy:** Mapping GitLab groups to namespaced tenant projects using Flux’s multi-tenant model. * **Secure Access Control:** Leveraging the GitLab Agent for Kubernetes to enable scoped, declarative self-service cluster access. * **Flexible Delivery Models:** Supporting multiple decentralized deployment strategies by balancing governance and freedom for both internal teams and external guest environments. Prepare for an honest demonstration of challenges like managing secret lifecycles across a growing fleet, moving from script-driven tenant onboarding to true automated self-service, and wrestling with the classic "chicken-and-egg" problems of bootstrapping Flux and handling GitOps release management.

This practical webinar is designed for self-employed professionals and small business owners in Austria who want to become easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to choose - both on Google and in AI-driven search. Save your spot: [https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow](https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow) About the event Google is no longer the only place people search for solutions. Today, your potential customers are also asking tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI systems for recommendations. The question is: Will your business show up when they are looking? This practical webinar is designed for self-employed professionals and small business owners in Austria who want to become easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to choose — both on Google and in AI-driven search. You will leave with clear, realistic actions you can start implementing the next day. What this webinar is about: Many businesses want quick visibility. They ask: “How do I get to number one on Google?” “How do I appear in ChatGPT?” “How do I make my content perform better?” These are valid questions, but they often focus on speed instead of substance. The businesses that win long term are not the ones chasing shortcuts. They are the ones that clearly understand their audience, build trust consistently, and position themselves in the places where buying decisions are made. This webinar will show you how to start doing exactly that. In this session, you will learn: How Google and AI search are changing the way people discover businesses Why being visible is no longer just about rankings, but also about trust and authority What makes a business more likely to be found, understood, and recommended online How to identify the search terms, questions, and topics your audience actually cares about How to improve your website content so it speaks to both people and search systems What practical steps you can take tomorrow to strengthen your online visibility How to think long term instead of chasing short-term tactics Who this is for: This webinar is for you if you are: A freelancer, consultant, coach, service provider, or small business owner Trying to attract more consistent inquiries through your website Interested in SEO, Google visibility, and AI search, but unsure where to start Tired of random marketing tips You do not need advanced technical knowledge. The session is practical, accessible, and focused on actions you can realistically implement. Why this matters now: Search behavior is changing. People still use Google, but they are also using AI tools to compare options, understand services, and make buying decisions. That means your business needs more than a few keywords on a website. You need clarity. You need content that answers real customer questions. You need trust signals. You need a presence that helps both humans and search systems understand who you are, what you do, and why you are relevant. This is especially important for self-employed professionals, because trust is often the deciding factor before someone reaches out. About the speaker: The webinar is led by [Rilwan Mogaji ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rilwan-mogaji-digital/)\- the co\-founder of [Mogaji Digital Communications](https://seo-agenturwien.at/en/), an SEO agency based in Vienna. For more than five years, he has helped companies become more visible through Google and, increasingly, through AI systems like ChatGPT — with the goal of generating new customers consistently and predictably. His work has been featured in outlets such as MeinBezirk, Wiener Wirtschaftszeitung, Radio Afrika, and Leadersnet. He also publishes industry-related articles on platforms such as [unternehmer.de](http://unternehmer.de/) and [designenlassen.de](http://designenlassen.de/). His mission is to help companies move away from short-term marketing tricks and toward long-term positioning built on clarity, consistency, trust, and a genuine understanding of their audience. You will walk away with: A clearer understanding of how Google and AI visibility work A practical checklist of improvements you can make to your online presence Ideas for content that directly answers your audience’s real questions A better understanding of how to build trust through your website and digital presence A long-term mindset for attracting more relevant customers online Event details: Date: June 25 Time: 17:00 Location: Online via Zoom Duration: 1.5–2 hours Format: Live webinar with practical examples and implementation-focused guidance Save your spot: [https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow](https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow)

Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Let's get together and listen to **[Eric Rico](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrico/)** from Unity3D (**From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity**). A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Eric also runs the **[Columbus Unity User Group](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-unity-user-group/)**. Check it out! ***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI-generated) code!*** Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017
