❎ PRESENTATION ASBTRACT ❎
+ From Visibility to Action: Automated, Real‑Time Kubernetes Resource Management - Fabrice Bensimon, Nic Vermande
Most Kubernetes clusters sit 60% to 70% overprovisioned, and another dashboard won't change that. This talk covers why the usual fixes stall before reaching production, then shows how ScaleOps automates real-time resource management with guardrails, including for AI and GPU workloads.
+ Cloud Edge WAF Protection - Dmytro Lytvynenko
A high-level introduction to Edge WAF protection, covering the basic concepts, benefits, and use cases. A short session suitable for both technical professionals and beginners.
+ Deployment Strategies: Choosing the Right Approach - Michał Franczyk
Not every deployment should be done the same way. In this session, we'll review the most popular deployment strategies, understand when to use each one, and discuss how they impact reliability, customer experience, and rollback capabilities.
