How OpenTelemetry-driven observability turns flaky CI/CD pipelines into self-healing deployments — instrumenting builds and releases to detect, diagnose, and recover from failures.

First-time dive into Podman, the open source container engine redefining how developers build, run, and manage containers. From daemonless architecture to security-first design, see what makes Podman a powerful choice for modern container workflows.

This topic came straight from our recent work at Circles - building better observability practices and helping developers move from “guessing” to “knowing” with traces.

Building a CNCF community comes with wins and challenges. From securing sponsorships and growing engagement to handling setbacks, we’ll share key lessons from leading Kubernetes Sri Lanka. Whether you’re starting or scaling a CNCF community, this talk will provide practical takeaways to build a sustainable and impactful cloud native ecosystem

Invited speaker at Kubernetes Community Days Accra 2024, connecting with the cloud-native community in West Africa.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful but deploying them reliably, cost-effectively, and at scale in production is a different challenge altogether. In this session, we’ll walk through how to operationalize LLM inference using Kubeflow on Kubernetes, leveraging open-source and cloud-native tools to build resilient, scalable, and observable GenAI infrastructure.

A comprehensive codelab session on migrating applications from Cloud Run to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) with minimal downtime.

Deep dive into Helm package manager for Kubernetes, covering best practices for managing complex deployments.

A deep dive into setting up a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions to build and push Docker images to GHCR and deploy them to a Kubernetes cluster.
