Taming Multi-Cluster Kubernetes Access: A Teleport Journey
in-personSpeaker : Lakshmi Narasimhan | Blog: blog.lakshminp.com | Description :
You've deployed Kubernetes. Now you have 10 clusters across dev, staging, and production. Your developers need access, contractors need temporary access, and your security team needs audit logs. How do you avoid the credential chaos?
This talk walks through a practical approach to centralized Kubernetes access management using Teleport—an open-source tool that's becoming the de facto standard for infrastructure access.
What we'll explore:
The pain: Managing kubectl access for 50+ engineers across multiple EKS/AKS/GKE clusters
The solution: Teleport as a unified access plane—SSO, RBAC, and just-in-time access in one control plane
Integration story: How Teleport layers on top of native Kubernetes RBAC (not replacing it, enhancing it)
Key features: Auto-discovery of clusters, per-session MFA, approval workflows, and kubectl exec audit trails
Real-world demo: Connecting to a cluster via Teleport, requesting elevated access, and viewing the audit log
If you've ever wondered "who has cluster-admin on prod?" or struggled with temporary contractor access, this talk is for you.
Audience: Platform engineers, DevOps practitioners, anyone managing multi-cluster Kubernetes Level: Beginner to Intermediate

Running Jenkins at Scale: Multi OS Agents, Automated Policy Enforcement and AI-Driven Failure Analysis
in-personSpeaker : Joseph Kevin | Description : 125,000 builds per day, 3.5 million per month, 32,000 jobs across multiple Jenkins controllers backed by 2,500 auto-scaling agents running Linux, Windows, and macOS Scaling 2,500 agents across operating systems and multiple CPU architectures with auto scaling, custom metrics, and graceful lifecycle management How we evolved from a single Jenkins instance to a multi controller architecture with consistent, repeatable configuration across all controllers Automated policy enforcement across every job with soft notifications and hard auto remediation AI powered failure analysis that queries years of tribal knowledge from tickets, chat, and docs to diagnose build failures before engineers even open the logs
