+in this ignite i want to show how living documentation is cool, because it connects the business with the development team, encouraging the use of the ubiquitous language and also motivate the team to develop using Acceptance Test Driven Development. In addition it comes nearly for free, and is always updated, because it walks together with the code.

+### Ignite
+
+To put it mildly, I've not been a fan of AI for a lot of reasons, and my adoption of it has been close to non-existent. However - realizing that my dislike won't change reality - I've overcome my internal blockade. Early attempts were unsatisfying, but eventually something clicked and I realized that LLMs can be surprisingly effective, especially for SRE work. This is my reluctant convert's journey from 'absolutely not' to 'okay, fine, this is helpful.'

+
+As engineers, we might build systems that shape millions of lives, but it's easy to lose sight of their broader impact. How do we balance the pressure to ship fast, or even AI-fast, with our responsibility to society?
+
+This talk draws on 40+ years in software engineering to explore practical approaches to ethical decision-making in technical roles.
+
+I'll share concrete examples of how individual engineers can make a difference, with empathy and persistence, and discuss when it makes sense to just walk away.
+
+I'll also discuss strategies for raising concerns effectively, how to advocate for ethics without derailing your career.
+
+There's no magic recipe for being an ethical engineer, but you can develop your own principles and the courage to act on them. This session will help you start building that practice, whether you're early in your career or a seasoned veteran reconsidering your path.

+### Workshop
+
+Vibe coding has a time and a place: it is great for making quick prototypes, and is very tempting for less technical folks. However, those who don’t understand their own code will be blissfully unaware of the many security vulnerabilities that AI assistants can introduce. In this workshop, I will cover a variety of common vulnerabilities that can be introduced from vibe coding, and then how to recognize and fix them. I will also cover how to prompt genAI tools to code more securely and help you review your code, as well as how to take a hybrid approach with AI-advised coding. This is a crucial topic for anyone venturing into vibe coding, as well as any team leads who are starting to see AI-generated code introduced by more junior members.

+
+That third-party LLM API bill just landed. It's... impressive. And so are the questions from your security team about where your proprietary data is really going. While the world sprints to integrate AI, many of us have become addicted to the convenience of black-box APIs, trading control for speed, and creating massive risks in the process. It's time to break free.
+
+This session is for engineers who want to move beyond just calling an API. We'll roll up our sleeves and architect a private Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform using powerful open-source models. Forget theory - this is a practical blueprint for tackling the gnarly, real-world challenges of observability and control. We'll demonstrate how to apply robust access policies, gain deep usage analytics, and manage costs effectively.
+
+Leave this session with a concrete playbook to stop being a consumer and start being a provider. It's time to take back control, build your own AI destiny, and deploy with confidence.

+### Workshop
+
+This session will be focusing on building a working knowledge of available AI tooling that can help developers be more productive in their day-to-day work, with a focus on existing applications and their evolution (including old applications). We'll be talking about techniques and methods to refactor and update your applications, while keeping things manageable, readable and to the level of code quality that is expected from an enterprise application.
+
+We'll also be discussing the MCP protocol and how it can be used in order to supercharge your developer tooling even further. We'll be exploring how to use existing resources in order to e.g. obtain better information for your design, code implementation, API endpoints, etc. Then we'll also explore what it takes to build one of these servers in case you need to offer an MCP server to the rest of your colleagues.
+
+All of these topics will be introduced through short presentations, then participants will have the option of working on illustrative examples on their own.

+### Ignite
+
+Excellent collaboration is rare. What we usually experience is coordination - a form of working together that relies on rules, alignment via task coordination, and other explicit arrangements, which are not really the experience of true flow in an excellent, just really-well-performing team. Coordination is what we fall back to when there is no real collaboration. How can we achieve the latter? By first understanding the difference between coordination and collaboration, and then folliwing a few guidelines with your team. Let us show you!

+Many delivery decisions in software organizations are still driven by opinion, intuition, or perceived risk. Practices are introduced because they “should work”, because experts recommend them, or because they look safe on paper. Yet teams often struggle to understand whether these decisions actually improved delivery — or simply changed the system in unintended ways.
+The core problem is that software delivery is a complex, adaptive system. Its behavior varies over time, and interventions that help in one context may fail in another — or stop working as the system evolves. Without a way to reason about variation, teams often react to noise, optimize the wrong things, or turn metrics into targets.
+In this talk, I share a real-world experience of shifting from opinion-based decisions to treating delivery changes as explicit hypotheses about system behavior. By combining DORA metrics with simple variation analysis using Process Behavior Charts, we learned how to distinguish normal process fluctuation from meaningful change and understand which interventions actually improved flow and reliability.
+The talk focuses on how delivery metrics can be used as a feedback loop for learning, not as performance KPIs. Through concrete examples from multi-team environments, I show how teams used evidence to reason about trade-offs, avoid reactive decision-making, and improve delivery without gaming the numbers or burning out people.
+This is an experience report about what worked, what failed, and what surprised us when DORA metrics met real systems and real human behavior.

+Agile is dead - so they say. But is it really? Or is it just the hype, that is gone? Maybe agility is the new norm. But if companies get over the idea of implementing a framework to prove that they are agile - how does that affect the players? Should Scrum Masters just vanish, become ticket controllers? Where is the place of their knowledge and experience in this huge IT universe?

+As AI copilots and coding agents generate more of the code we ship, we can deliver software faster than we can understand it, leading to fragile behavior, missed edge cases, and failures that are hard to explain.
+
+This talk's guiding principle is simple: the faster you generate code, the more you need telemetry. We'll connect observability fundamentals (signals, context propagation, debugging workflows) to the realities of AI-generated code, using OpenTelemetry as a vendor-neutral foundation for traces, metrics, and logs that reveal runtime truth.
+
+You'll see three practical approaches: prompt AI tools to emit instrumentation by default (using a reusable template), use auto-instrumentation for broad, fast coverage, and add manual spans/attributes where domain context matters most. To make this stick, we'll introduce a simple team practice: require "observability present" in code review for AI-generated changes.

+As Electrolux Group grew its IoT engineering organization from 10 to over 300 developers, our operations team stayed almost the same size. Traditional DevOps and SRE approaches quickly stopped scaling.
+
+We initially adopted SRE practices, but found them difficult to apply consistently across many autonomous product teams. Instead of scaling processes or people, we chose to scale through a platform.
+
+We built an Internal Developer Platform using Backstage, Terraform, and custom platform APIs to provide self-service infrastructure with opinionated defaults. Reliability, security, compliance, and cost controls were baked directly into the platform, allowing teams to move fast without deep operational expertise.
+
+In this talk, we’ll share our journey from SRE to Platform Engineering, how we designed and evolved our Internal Developer Platform, and how it eventually became the foundation for our open-source project.

+Platform Engineering has become one of the most critical disciplines in the AI era - where speed, security, and trust must coexist. As organizations adopt generative AI and cloud-native technologies at scale, internal developer platforms (IDPs) have emerged as the foundation for safe, compliant, and productive software delivery.
+
+In this 4-hour hands-on workshop at KCD Suisse Romande, you’ll experience what it takes to build and operate a secure, developer-friendly platform on Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift. Switching between developer and platform engineer personas, you’ll learn how to design and bootstrap a Thin Viable Platform (TVP), gather feedback from developers to continuously improve it, accelerate the inner and outer loops through automation, and finally establish security and compliance using open-source tools like Sigstore, Tekton, and Conforma.
+
+You’ll leave with practical insights and working examples of how zero-trust principles, golden paths, and AI-ready automation can empower developers and enable platform teams to deliver innovation safely at scale.

+You are in a meeting. Someone checks their Generative AI of choice mid-discussion and announces: "The AI says we just need to do X." Everyone nods and moves on. Congratulations, you have just solved the wrong problem.
+
+Generative AI has amplified our worst problem-solving habit: jumping to solutions before understanding the problem. It is System 1 thinking on steroids, magnified by the Dunning-Kruger effect: confident, fast, and increasingly wrong. We are racing toward solutions faster than ever, but they are brittle, disconnected, and often miss the point entirely.
+
+This talk will teach you one question that changes everything: "What problem are we actually solving?" It sounds simple. It is not.
+
+You will learn to distinguish symptoms from root causes, map consequences before committing, and slow down long enough to understand what you are actually solving for. This is not theory, it is a practice you can use in your next team meeting.
+
+The best AI prompts, the smartest automation, and the fastest deployments are worthless if we are solving the wrong problem. It is time to stop optimizing for speed and start optimizing for understanding.

+We are developing a system where software agents can autonomously handle a significant chunk of operational toil. The key is to do this generically and horizontally, making the solutions broadly applicable crossing the lines between developers and operations.

+When a single phished NPM maintainer led to 18 compromised libraries—including Chalk and Debug, downloaded billions of times weekly—it proved one thing: SBOMs alone aren't enough.
+
+In this talk, Docker Captain Mohammad-Ali A'râbi explores how modern supply-chain attacks unfold and how the next generation of tools—attestations, provenance, and signing—can prevent a repeat of the September 2025 NPM breach.
+
+You'll learn how to build verifiable, trusted pipelines using Docker Scout, Syft, Cosign, and Rekor, and how to extend SBOMs with build-phase attestations.
+The session combines deep technical demos with hard-won lessons from the largest NPM attack ever—and insights from Mohammad-Ali's book "Docker and Kubernetes Security"—turning supply-chain horror stories into actionable DevSecOps practices.
+
+What you'll learn:
+
+- 🧠 Understand how the 2025 NPM supply-chain attack happened—and why traditional SBOMs couldn't stop it.
+- 📦 Pin & lock dependencies to prevent malicious updates from sneaking in.
+- 🧱 Generate, sign, and verify attestations using Docker Scout + Cosign + Rekor.
+- 🔒 Adopt zero-trust build pipelines with SLSA levels + OCI 1.1 referrers.
+- 🧰 Defend proactively with seven practical strategies: block lifecycle scripts, use hardware keys, and continuously scan with Snyk / Trivy / Scout.
+- 🚀 Turn compliance into confidence by making your entire container lifecycle verifiable.

+Modern DevOps practices thrive on systems that are reliable, observable, and easy to evolve - qualities that event-sourced architectures naturally provide.
+
+In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to combine Domain-Driven Design (DDD) with CQRS and Event Sourcing using the Axon Framework and Kotlin to model and implement a small but complete domain.
+
+Starting from a short Event Storming exercise, participants will explore the flow of domain events and commands, then step by step build a working event-sourced domain model:

+* Designing DDD Aggregates, Entities, and Value Objects
+* Implementing Commands, Domain Events, Invariants, and Projections
+* Exposing domain use cases through REST APIs
+
+Finally, we’ll look at how event-sourced systems can evolve safely over time - introducing the basics of event versioning and upcasting, and discussing what can be replayed, rebuilt, or reset to keep systems healthy in production.
+
+By the end, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to design, implement, and maintain traceable, evolvable, and DevOps-friendly event-sourced domain models with the Axon Framework and Kotlin.
+
+Prerequisites:
+Basic knowledge of Kotlin or Java and Spring Boot.
+We’ll introduce the core DDD concepts along the way.

+### Ignite
+
+Many DevOps teams invest in Monitoring tools early, yet still struggle with noisy alerts, fragile dashboards, and slow incident response. The problem is rarely the platform — it’s the lack of upfront Observability design.
+
+This talk presents a practical, SRE-driven approach to designing Observability before selecting a tool. We look into critical user journeys, map business and reliability goals to SLIs and SLOs, and build a capability map that defines what Observability must enable across detection, diagnosis, and incident response.
+These factors drive decisions around platform selection, instrumentation strategy, and adoption — focusing on trade-offs DevOps teams face around telemetry depth, cost, and operability at scale.
+
+Attendees will leave with a repeatable framework for evaluating Observability platforms based on decisions and actions, not dashboards or feature lists

+### Ignite
+
+Organizations love the feeling of being in control. We spend weeks in "Planning Theater", the high-stakes performance where leadership declares dates and teams pretend they are realistic. We use spreadsheets to create a false sense of security while our actual delivery data screams a different story.
+
+In this high-speed, two-man Ignite talk, Benji and Peter will face off:
One plays the role of the "Corporate Planner" declaring confidence based on gut feel; the other brings the "Measured Reality" of data.  
+
+We’ll show you why confidence should be measured, not declared, and how to stop treating organizational planning like a creative writing exercise. 
+Learn how to bridge the gap between "management hope" and "system reality" using the data you already have.

+### Ignite
+
+Imagine a 36-ton excavator operating autonomously in the Argentine desert.
+No operator. No stable internet. No second chances.
+Just software moving cubic meters of earth, day after day.
+
+Deploying autonomous construction robots at Gravis Robotics turns familiar DevOps problems into extreme ones. Connectivity is intermittent. Observability is spotty. Hardware fails. And mistakes aren’t just outages, they’re safety risks and hit the client's bottom line immediately.
+
+In this fast-paced 5-minute Ignite talk, I’ll take the audience into a real-world robotic deployment and highlight three DevOps challenges at the edge:
+
+* Deploying software to computers that don't sit in a data center with a gigabit connection
+* Designing systems that survive vibration, dust, water and failure
+* Building confidence in safety-critical releases using simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing and manual on-machine testing
+
+While the environment is extreme, the lessons are universal and can help designing more reliable systems. This talk connects proven DevOps practices from the cloud (CI, observability, and resilience) to a setting where “it works on my machine” can move mountains.

+
+If you have used AWS (or any other major cloud provider), you’ll probably have noticed how your bill suddenly contains significant charges that you’re not completely sure about where come from.
+
+Especially in cases where you are growing and scaling fast, initial decisions made during early stages might not make sense (or be remembered at all) 2 years down the road.
+
+How do you clean things up? We cut 2/3rds of our cloud cost with a limited effort by creating cost visibility, and applying a bit of common sense. This talk will give a quick overview of some of the unneeded cost-sinks that we found.

+Operations and Security are not temporary problems to be solved. They are capabilities to be built and improved. Yet, too many organizations try to squeeze them into projects with a Gantt chart, a budget cap, and, most dangerous, an end date.
+
+In this Ignite talk, I will channel my (and probably our collective frustration) with the "Project Mindset." I will argue that reliability doesn't have an end date and that we need to stop financing temporary fixes and start building long-lived, capable teams.

+
+In tech, some of the most innovative minds think differently – and that difference is often misunderstood. People with ADHD, Autism, or High Sensitivity bring unique strengths like deep focus, pattern recognition, creativity, empathy, and sharp intuition. Yet many workplaces still see neurodivergence as a challenge, rather than recognizing it for the powerful asset it truly is. Drawing from lived experience and years of organizational consulting this Ignite Talk challenges that mindset and reframes neurodiversity as a competitive advantage in business.
