Keynote: Bring Your Own Agent - We’ll Bring the Platform
This keynote explores the rapid evolution of the AI agent ecosystem. It details the shift toward agentic workflows supported by the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the standardization of reusable agent "Skills." The session emphasizes that as AI agents transition from experimental tools to enterprise-grade assets, a critical requirement emerges for robust, secure infrastructure.
By introducing concepts like OpenClaw and secure sandboxing—specifically leveraging Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat AI—the session outlines a defense-in-depth strategy for managing autonomous agents at scale, drawing parallels between the current agent revolution and the historical maturation of Linux and container orchestration.
Cedric Clyburn, Senior Developer Advocate, Red Hat
Natale Vinto, Technical Director, Global, Red Hat
Track 1, Beyond Localhost: Unlocking Developer Productivity with Cloud Development Environments
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
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

Track 1, Deep Instrumentation of Your Containerized Java App Using Cryostat
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, Guardrails of the Galaxy: Securing AI Applications at Scale with Red Hat AI
To secure AI workloads at scale, organizations need a dedicated policy enforcement layer. This session explores Guardrails-as-a-Service using Red Hat AI and TrustyAI. Featuring an interactive live demo you can explore firsthand, we will show you how to evaluate AI traffic in real time. We will examine and combine multiple detectors – including safety filters and custom business rules – and leverage automated Red Teaming to test your defenses.
Sara Banderby, Senior AI Quickstart Architect, Red Hat
Lunch
Track 1, From VM to Cloud-Native: Modernizing Legacy Apps with OpenShift Virtualization
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
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
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
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

Track 1, A Developer’s Guide to Local OpenShift Deployments
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
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
Closing Keynote: Agents Are Here: Now What?
Last year, we were building apps with AI features. This year, AI agents are building the apps. Many teams are already using, or looking to use, agents across the software development lifecycle and IT operations, but we’ve all seen the headlines of agents going rogue. Just as LLMs can dramatically increase productivity, we still need guardrails, observability, and cost controls that allow us to embrace these tools without sacrificing security or reliability.
Join us as we explore the world of agentic engineering and share best practices that teams at Red Hat have developed over 18+ months of building, delivering, and managing software with AI tools. We’ll demo model-agnostic approaches to diagnosing Linux environments, AI-driven automation with Ansible, and what the new “Mythos”-led wave of vulnerabilities means for shipping secure code in the age of AI. If one thing has held true throughout the evolution of technology, it’s that open source practices and tooling will continue to lead the way forward.
