**Cloud Native Night Munich** AI agents are no longer just generating text — they are opening pull requests, deploying to Kubernetes, and making autonomous decisions inside production systems. But how do we secure, govern, and observe systems that are inherently non-deterministic? In this meetup, we explore practical patterns for fine-grained authorization of AI-driven DevOps workflows and robust observability strategies for autonomous agents. Expect concrete architectures, cloud-native tooling, and real-world lessons for building agentic AI you can actually trust in production. THIS MEETUP WILL BE HYBRID. **\|** Zoom link will be available shortly before the meetup starts \*\*\* AGENDA \*\*\* * 6\.30 PM \| Doors open\. Grab some snacks & drinks\. * 7\.00 PM \| Welcome & Intro – **Start of hybrid meetup** * 7\.15 PM \| **Beyond API Keys: Fine-Grained AI Agent Authorization for DevOps**, Ankit Asthana (Cloud infrastructure Architect at SQUER), Tom Graupner (Head of Cloud & Platform Engineering as SQUER) * \~8:15 PM \| **Mastering Agentic Observability: Reliable Multi-Agent Systems with OpenTelemetry,** Nicolai Ommer (Software Architect at QAware) * afterwards: More snacks & drinks, and a lot of time for networking with all attendees and speakers. \*\*\* ABSTRACTS \*\*\* **Beyond API Keys: Fine-Grained AI Agent Authorization for DevOps**, Ankit Asthana (Cloud infrastructure Architect at SQUER), Tom Graupner (Head of Cloud & Platform Engineering as SQUER) AI agents are increasingly performing powerful DevOps actions like opening pull requests and deploying to Kubernetes. Yet most teams still rely on static tokens for authorization, which creates security and governance risks. In this talk, we present a practical pattern using OpenFGA and an Agent Gateway to enforce relationship-based, auditable authorization for AI-driven DevOps workflows—ensuring automation remains fast, controlled, and explainable. **Mastering Agentic Observability: Reliable Multi-Agent Systems with OpenTelemetry,** Nicolai Ommer (Software Architect at QAware) The software landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift. Agentic AI. While microservices operate deterministically, AI agents act probabilistically and often unpredictably, making them autonomous. This presents a significant challenge for platform engineers and DevOps teams. How can you monitor a service whose response varies with each call? How can you debug a 'hallucination' or an endless loop in decision-making? In this talk, we will demonstrate why traditional 'golden signals' (latency, traffic and errors) are insufficient for AI agents and explain how they must be expanded. We treat agents as the new microservices and use the well-established OpenTelemetry (OTel) standard to shed light on the inner workings of LLMs and agentic workforces. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Please comply with our [Code of Conduct](https://www.greenmanifesto.de/en/code-of-conduct).

“*A neheztelés olyan, mintha mérget innánk, és azt várnánk, hogy az ellenségeink haljanak bele.*” ― Nelson Mandela **(A program magyar nyelven zajlik.)** A történelem során az emberi társadalmak újra és újra szembesültek a megosztottsággal. Amikor az identitás polarizációvá keményedik, az együttélés törékennyé válik. A különbségek időnként polgárháborús konfliktusokba torkollnak, amelyek tovább mélyítik a bizalmatlanságot és a sérelmeket – gyakran nemzedékeken át. A történelem azonban ritka ellenpéldákat is kínál: olyan pillanatokat, amikor a gyűlölet és a megosztottság ördögi köre nem sodródott tovább az erőszak irányába, hanem a megbékélés felé fordult. Ezen az alkalmon az Ubuntu filozófiáját vizsgáljuk meg – azt az afrikai etikai szemléletet, amely olyan vezetők gondolkodását formálta, mint Nelson Mandela és Desmond Tutu. Az **Ubuntu** – „Az vagyok, mert mi vagyunk” – azt állítja, hogy az identitás nem pusztán egyéni, hanem alapvetően kapcsolati természetű. Még az is a közösség része marad, akivel szemben állunk. Lehetséges, hogy éppen ez a felismerés rejlik a sikeres megbékélések hátterében. Dél-Afrika apartheid utáni átmenete mellett más történelmi példákat is megvizsgálunk: az amerikai polgárháborút követő időszakot, Franciaország és Németország kibékülését, Japán háború utáni átalakulását, valamint az észak-írországi békefolyamatot. **Bevezetés (15 perc)** Rövid bemutatkozással kezdünk, ahol a résztvevők röviden bemutatják magukat. **Kérdések (1 óra 45 perc)** 1. Az Ubuntu szerint miért különbözik a remény az optimizmustól, és miért tekinthető erősebbnek? 2. Az önbecsülés korában élünk, vagy éppen annak hiányában? 3. Alkalmazható-e az Ubuntu arra is, aki elutasítja az Ubuntu elveit? 4. Mi történik, amikor a „mi” olyanokat is magában foglal, akik alapvető értékeinket tagadják? 5. Hogyan működik az Ubuntu folyamatban lévő konfliktus idején? 6. Előfordulhat, hogy a közösség ereje rossz irányba fordul? Hogyan lehet ezt megelőzni? 7. Beleképzelted-e már magad valaki helyzetébe, akit mélyen elutasítasz? 8. Miben hasonlítható össze az európai megbékélés a dél-afrikai vagy az észak-ír példával? 9. A megbékéléshez mi fontosabb: erős vezetők vagy erős intézmények? 10. Összeegyeztethető-e mindig a megbocsátás az igazságossággal? Létezik pont, ahol a megbocsátás igazságtalansággá válik? 11. Miért kulcsfontosságú az igazság a megbékélési folyamatban? 12. Fennmaradhat-e a megbékélés tartós anyagi egyenlőtlenségek mellett? 13. Segíthet-e az Ubuntu a polarizáció oldásában? 14. Hogyan alkalmazható az Ubuntu a közösségi média világában? 15. Az Ubuntu tekinthető-e az egyéni érettségtől a társadalmi érettség felé vezető útnak? 16. A polarizáció a morális komolyság jele – vagy inkább morális éretlenség? 17. A polarizációt inkább az egyenlőtlenség, vagy inkább az identitás hajtja? **RSVP:** Kérjük, erősítsd meg részvételedet itt a Meetup oldalon, hogy biztosítsd a helyedet.

El objetivo de este encuentro es romper el hielo, hablar de las historias que nos gusta escribir, de por qué escribimos, de los libros que nos gusta leer, de qué dificultades encontramos al enfrentarnos al folio en blanco y de qué esperamos del grupo. En definitiva, se trata de conocernos como personas para entendernos como escritores. No importa si has escrito diez novelas, cuatro cuentos o el precioso título de un poema sin versos. Aquí todo aspirante a juntaletras es bienvenido.

The Men’s Circle of Excellence Gathering, for men who seek truth, mastery, and a life beyond mediocrity. The goal is simple: to support each other in mastering mind and spirit, breaking free from comfort, and moving toward excellence in every area of life. Modern life offers endless distractions but little real connection. Too often, men walk the path of self-development alone, or struggle against the negative pull of today’s society. The Men’s Circle of Excellence was created to change that: to bring support, accountability, challenge, and community energy. We gather in person to share openly, confront fears, and inspire one another to reach higher. Here, power is rooted in virtue, strength is balanced with empathy, and ambition is guided by wisdom. How it works: • Welcome & introductions: Meet new members and reconnect with familiar faces. • Open sharing: Each man speaks about his current challenges, fears, or obstacles. • Honest reflections: The group responds with insight and encouragement. • Connection Time: After the circle, we'll have extra time to relax, talk, and build friendships. Recommendation: • Before the event, take some time to think about your current situation and what to bring into the circle. Limited to max. 8 men per gathering to keep the space focused, personal, and meaningful. Confirm your attendance to reserve your spot.

As a follow-up to our macro class and to get ready for our May and June Field Shoots, we are going to have a macro training "class." I will attempt to work through a number of macro shoots with the group. Those with cameras can try to shoot the same subjects I am shooting. We will start with some small objects and work our way down to smaller and smaller ones. As we photograph each subject, we will consider depth of field, focal plane management, subject composition, background, and lighting. I have no idea how many subjects we will get through, but we will give it our best shot (pun intended!). Bring your camera, whatever macro gear you might have, a tripod if you have one, whatever lighting you may have, etc. This will really be an exercise in seeing what you have, me showing you some ways to approach the subjects, and seeing what works! I am going to add an extra hour to this meeting! CYA There!!!!! Meeting Schedule: 1. 6:00 - Introduction, Meet New Members 2. 6:10 - Old Business 3. 6:20 - New Business 4. 6:30 - Starting Shooting Small Stuff 5. 9:00 - Adjourn Pre-Shoot Brief/Education: Macro Madness!
