The 2 day conference will follow the proven DevOpsDays formula - bringing together industry experts and like minded individuals to cover a range of topics - generative AI, security, org structure/culture, infra-as-code and approaches to work (and more!) The afternoons will feature open spaces! Topics are proposed early in the day, then collectively voted on by attendees - the top topics then feed the agenda for break out rooms. <b>The community controls the discussions!</b>

<p>Kubernetes is the sometimes-controversial darling of the tech industry. It’s indispensable in situations where it’s useful, but undeniably complex and can be difficult to use. We tend to chalk that up to its relative newness and the complexity of the problems it's solving, but exactly how new are these problems....

The afternoon part of the program leaves room for Open Spaces,<strong>where you propose the topics, the community votes,</strong> and the most <strong>exciting ideas turn into community driven breakout sessions</strong>.

To keep things flowing, we follow the four classic
225
+
<a href="/open-space-format">Open Space</a>
226
+
principles:
227
+
</p>
228
+
<ul>
229
+
<li>
230
+
<strong>Whoever comes are the right people </strong> — The folks
231
+
who show up are exactly the ones meant to be part of the
232
+
conversation.
233
+
</li>
234
+
<li>
235
+
<strong
236
+
>Whatever happens is the only thing that could have</strong
237
+
>
238
+
— The discussion goes where it needs to go, and that’s part of the
239
+
magic.
240
+
</li>
241
+
<li>
242
+
<strong>Whenever it starts is the right time</strong> — Great
243
+
ideas don’t wait for a strict schedule; inspiration starts when it
244
+
starts.
245
+
</li>
246
+
<li>
247
+
<strong>When it’s over, it’s over</strong> — Once a group has
248
+
gotten what it needs from a session, it’s perfectly fine to wrap
249
+
up and move on.
250
+
</li>
251
+
</ul>
252
+
<p>
253
+
And of course, everything is guided by the
254
+
<strong>Law of Two Feet</strong>: if you’re not learning or
255
+
contributing, you’re free to find a session where you will.
