Service Mesh, Demystified
in-personYour services are talking to each other right now. Do you know what's happening between them? In this session, we unpack the invisible layer between your microservices — what it is, why it matters, and how a service mesh brings observability, security, and traffic control without changing a single line of application code. You'll leave with a clear mental model and a practical framework to decide if a service mesh belongs in your stack. All levels welcome.

Platform Patterns for AI on K8s: Admission, Isolation & Observability That Work
in-personThis session explores how modern platform teams can run multi-tenant AI workloads reliably on Kubernetes using open source and CNCF technologies. It examines how admission policies and GPU quota strategies enforce fairness, prevent resource contention, and protect clusters from noisy-neighbor behavior. Attendees will learn practical approaches to balancing GPU utilization with platform stability through real-world manifests, admission controllers, and quota enforcement patterns.
The talk also demonstrates how tenant isolation can be strengthened using service mesh capabilities with Istio, alongside policy-driven controls for secure and predictable AI operations. Observability is a major focus, showcasing how OpenTelemetry enables distributed tracing, metrics, and production-grade debugging for AI workloads and inference pipelines.
