Track 1, Beyond Localhost: Unlocking Developer Productivity with Cloud Development Environments

9:55 AM - 10:35 AM CET


Move beyond the limits of local setup and discover how cloud development environments can help teams code faster, onboard smoother, and stay consistent. In this session, we’ll introduce Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces and demo how developers can spin up ready-to-code workspaces directly on OpenShift, with tools, dependencies, and security built in.


Magnus Eklund, Senior Specialist Solution Architect, Application Platform - Cross Segment, Red Hat

Track 2, Ditch the API Bill: Fast, Private, and Cost-Efficient LLM Inference

9:55 AM - 10:35 AM CET

 

Running LLMs does not have to mean sending every request to an external cloud hosted API. In this session, we’ll explore how developers can serve models with speed, privacy, and cost control using technologies such as vLLM and llm-d. We’ll also introduce the Model-as-a-Service pattern and show how it can make AI capabilities easier to consume across teams.


Sheryl Wang, Specialist Solution Architect, Red Hat

 

Coffee Break & Networking

10:35 AM - 11:00 AM CET


Coffee Break & Networking 

Track 1, Deep Instrumentation of Your Containerized Java App Using Cryostat

11:00 AM - 11:40 AM CET

 

Go beyond basic logs and metrics to understand what your Java application is really doing inside containers. In this session, we’ll introduce Cryostat and show how developers can use Java Flight Recorder in Kubernetes and OpenShift environments to capture, analyze, and troubleshoot runtime behavior with minimal overhead.

Martin Östmark, Principal Specialist Solution Architect, Application Platform - Cross Segment, Red Hat

Track 2, Keeping AI on the Tracks: How Red Hat Helps You in Implementing Guardrails

11:00 AM - 11:40 AM CET

 

Generative AI is powerful, but production applications need more than a prompt and a model. In this session, we’ll explore how Red Hat helps developers implement guardrails that keep AI systems safer, more reliable, and aligned with business rules. See how policy, validation, and platform capabilities can reduce risk while keeping innovation moving.

Anneli Sara Banderby, Senior AI Quickstart Architect, Red Hat 

Lunch

11:40 AM - 12:40 PM CET

Track 1, From VM to Cloud-Native: Modernizing Legacy Apps with OpenShift Virtualization

12:40 PM - 1:20 PM CET

 

Modernization does not always start with rewriting code. In this session, we’ll show how OpenShift Virtualization lets teams run virtual machines alongside containers on the same platform, creating a practical path to gradually decompose legacy applications into smaller containerized services. Learn how to reduce silos, simplify operations, and modernize at your own pace.
 

Magnus Bengtsson, Associate Principal Specialist Solution Architect OpenShift, Red Hat

Track 2, AgentOps: Operating Your Autonomous AI Workforce

12:40 PM - 1:20 PM CET

 

AI agents can plan, call tools, and act across systems—but who operates them when they move beyond a demo? In this session, we’ll explore AgentOps with OpenShift AI and show how developers can deploy, monitor, govern, and scale agentic applications with the control needed for real-world autonomous AI workloads.

Natale Vinto, Technical Director, Global, Red Hat
Andreas Bergqvist, EMEA Sales Specialist AI, Red Hat 

Track 1, Beyond the Dockerfile: Modern Container Build Options in OpenShift

1:30 PM - 2:10 PM CET

 

Great container builds start with good foundations. In this session, we’ll cover best practices for creating efficient, secure Containerfiles, then explore modern build options in OpenShift that go beyond the traditional Dockerfile workflow. See how developers can improve consistency, automation, and flow from source code to deployment.

Siamak Sadeghianfar, Director of Product Management, Hybrid Platforms, Red Hat

Track 2, AI Meets Backstage & Developer Hub: Your New Coding Command Center

1:30 PM - 2:10 PM CET

 

What if your developer portal became your AI-powered coding command center? In this session, we’ll show how Backstage, Red Hat Developer Hub, and the OpenShift AI Connector bring services, docs, templates, and AI capabilities together. See how developers can discover, build, and ship faster from one guided platform experience.
 

Roman Martin Gil, Principal Architect, Red Hat

Coffee Break & Networking

2:10 PM - 2:30 PM CET


Coffee Break & Networking 

Track 1, A Developer’s Guide to Local OpenShift Deployments

2:30 PM - 3:10 PM CET

 

Shared clusters are great for collaboration, but not always for experimentation. This session compares local OpenShift options—from lightweight desktop setups to single-node clusters—and shows how developers can create disposable environments for testing operators, platform features, and deployment patterns without waiting for central access.

Johan Odell, Red Hat 

Track 2, Let Your AI Agent Code, Build, and Deploy with Confidence: Securing Software Supply Chain with Red Hat

2:30 PM - 3:10 PM CET

 

AI coding agents can accelerate delivery, but their output still needs trust, traceability, and control. In this session, we’ll show how Red Hat helps secure the path from code to deployment with Trusted Software Supply Chain, Trusted Libraries, and Lightwell—so agent-generated changes can be built, validated, and released with confidence.


Shaaf Syed, Chief Architect, Red Hat
