Help, I got GPU:s!
Dress yourself in the shirt of an operations engineer who, as a side effect, suddenly sits on a nice, clean GPU pool. What do you do when the requests for compute power start to tick in faster than you can say “distribute”?
This lightning talk serves as the ultimate takeoff away from static GPU ownership and into Airplane Controller Mode - where prime focus is to prioritize, schedule, queue, optimize, and only to expand the runway when the data says it's necessary.
Duration: lightning talk, 5-10 mins
Target audience: DevOps, AIOps, Ops mgmnt, anyone curious about hosting and managing AI workloads
Think Fast; Efficiency, Privacy and Accuracy with Small Language Models
Ever since october 2022, the world is mesmerized by the seemingly unlimited ability and potential of Large Language Models. But what happens if you don't have the resources or rights to host it, and you can't risk sending away your data for potential redustribution to third parties? What if superfluous data access trigger more inaccuracy and hallucinations than helpfulness? Or what if you just don't want to use ALL of your resources on training local language models?
Discover how using a Small Language Model can actually work to your favour, using less local resources, provide better accuracy with a more narrow context, and not sending away a single byte.
Duration: normal, including live demo
Audience: DevOps, AIOps, Ops mgmnt, sovereignty, airgapped, open source, cloud native, non-proprietary.
Now you see, now you don't: observability patterns in distributed environments
Beyond polished user interfaces and carefully curated business processes lies a landscape shaped by decades of independent decisions. Layers of legacy platforms, overlapping technologies, uncertain ownership, and distributed infrastructure create environments where a single transaction can traverse dozens of systems and pass countless risks of getting stuck.
When performance degrades, data disappears, or critical services fail, the challenge is rarely the fix itself. The challenge is understanding what is actually happening.
This session explores some of the most problematic observability challenges found in complex enterprise environments and the most impactful patterns that help overcome them. From practical calls to action to transformative enterprise-wide capabilities, the focus is on creating overview across thick walls of geography and cubicles, of ownership and access rights.
Because in the deepest layers of modern IT landscapes, problems rarely disappear. They simply move beyond the reach of the flashlight.
Format: normal, with live demo, open source, cloud native, non-proprietary.
Audience: CTO, ops mgmnt, ops architects and engineers, observability interested.
Community Cashback: the hidden returns for businesses letting developers tinker open-source at work
What does a business get back when developers are allowed to contribute to open-source projects during work hours? More than many organizations realize.
Beyond supporting the community, open-source contributions strengthen employer branding, attract and retain talented engineers, improve security awareness, reduce technical debt, and give companies a voice in the projects they depend on. Developers gain deeper expertise, solve problems closer to the source, and bring valuable knowledge back into internal products and processes.
Explore the often-overlooked business value of contributing upstream. Through real-world experiences, we'll examine how investing developer time in open source can generate returns that benefit both the community and the company.
Open source isn't just something businesses consume—right played, it can be a strategic asset that pays dividends far beyond the code itself.
Format: Normal, including a live demo.
Audience: Thought leaders, mgmnt, CxO, dev community, and anyone interested in the value of contributing to open source.
Cloud Native Sovereignty: what is it, who controls it, why do I not survive without it
Cloud-native promised freedom, speed, and unlimited scale. But as organizations race into managed services, platforms, and AI ecosystems, a harder question emerges: who is actually in control? Is sovereignty about where your data lives—or whether you can still choose, move, and evolve when vendors, regulations, or markets change the rules?
It’s time to cut through the buzzwords and explore cloud-native sovereignty as a strategy to outlive disasters. We'll examine who holds the power in modern cloud environments—and what happens when you give it away. After all, in a world of constant disruption, portability is not the goal. Survival is.
Format: Lightning talk 5-10 mins
Audience: tech mgmt, architects, strategic buyers
