17.15 TALK 1 - GitOps is great until it becomes GitUps...

This is the story about a group of cloud Native engineers excited about attending the inaugural KCD back in 2023. Everyone was looking forward to a day filled with great talks, fun community and a lot on inspiration to bring home. But it wasn't to be, Murphy had another plan, and it all turned to chaos when something hit the fan...

Come hear how we spent KCD in a war room graciously supplied by Jysk fighting an overload of critical errors!

18.45 - TALK 2 - The Cloud Is Lying To You: What It Really Takes To Run On-Prem - Paris Nakita Kejser, Terma A/S

Have you ever stopped to think about how much the cloud spoils us? Managed services, infinite scalability, auto-healing clusters, instant backups — all just a click away. But what happens when you're told: no cloud, no internet, on-prem only?

This session breaks down the brutal wake-up call that comes when cloud-native engineers are dropped into an air-gapped, on-prem world. Drawing from real-world experience rebuilding Kubernetes infrastructure in restricted environments, the talk explores what it really takes to replicate the cloud’s conveniences from scratch. From object storage and backup strategies to HA, deployment scalability, and monitoring — every layer of “magic” once taken for granted becomes a manual puzzle to solve.
This talk is for anyone facing compliance constraints, cost-driven on-prem mandates, or just curious about what lies beneath the surface of their cloud-native stack. Warning: you may never see the cloud the same way again.
