Kat Cosgrove, Head of Developer Advocacy at Minimus. Kat is the Kubernetes Release Team subproject owner and SIG Docs tech lead.
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....

Liz Fong-Jones, Field CTO at Honeycomb. Liz is a developer advocate, labor and ethics organizer, and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE).
An AI skeptic's journey to become an AI realist, the promise and pitfalls of AI adoption, and how we can effectively leverage observability and AI to make our organizations more productive and collaborative.
The afternoon part of the program leaves room for Open Spaces,where you propose the topics, the community votes, and the most exciting ideas turn into community driven breakout sessions.
To keep things flowing, we follow the four classic Open Space principles:
And of course, everything is guided by the Law of Two Feet: if you’re not learning or contributing, you’re free to find a session where you will.
DevOpsDays is a not-for-profit organisation - sponsorship helps us keep the ticket prices accessible to the local community.
