Prelekcja #1: „Story of 3500 CPU saved: What continous profiling revealed that monitoring never did” - Paweł Zieliński

Prezentacja składa się z czterech studiów przypadku, które w 2025 roku pozwoliły zmniejszyć zużycie zasobów w firmie Pawła o około 3500 procesorów. Pomiędzy poszczególnymi przykładami wyjaśni, czym jest continuous profiling oraz czym różni się od klasycznego profilowania. Wytłumaczy również, w jaki sposób zbudowane są flame graphy, czyli forma wizualizacji danych z profilera oraz jak je poprawnie interpretować. Dodatkowo wprowadzi w ogólny sposób technologię eBPF i pokaże, jak umożliwia ona podłączenie profilera do wielu aplikacji jednocześnie, dzięki czemu zarówno zbieranie danych, jak i ich późniejsza analiza mogą być skalowalne.

Paweł Zieliński - będąc w technikum, został kilkukrotnym finalistą ogólnopolskich konkursów: dwukrotnie z administracji systemami Linux, jednokrotnie z administracji sieciami oraz dwukrotnie z programowania autonomicznych robotów Mini Sumo. Równolegle ze studiami dziennymi pracował w firmie Nokia. Po ukończeniu studiów na politechnice ukończył również studia MBA. Od 4 lat pracuje w firmie Box w departamencie Observability, a od około roku interesuje się tematyką performance engineeringu.

Prelekcja #2: “Your Kubernetes Nodes Are Snowflakes: Making The Host OS Reproducible” - Jan Bronicki

Kubernetes i kontenery sprawiły, że aplikacje stały się deklaratywne, planowane przez scheduler i łatwe do zastąpienia. Jednak nody Linuksa, na których działają klastry, często wciąż są traktowane jak długo żyjące maszyny: instalowane raz, aktualizowane w miejscu, modyfikowane ręcznie podczas awarii i stopniowo zmieniane z czasem. Wraz ze wzrostem środowiska prowadzi to do dryfu konfiguracji właśnie w tej warstwie, od której Kubernetes bezpośrednio zależy. Dowiedz się, jak unikać dryfu konfiguracji i budować w pełni odtwarzalne systemy operacyjne dla swoich klastrów Kubernetes.

Jan Bronicki - pracuje jako Software Engineer w Microsoft oraz jest maintainerem Flatcar Container Linux, projektu CNCF dostarczającego minimalny, bezpieczny i immutable system operacyjny do uruchamiania kontenerów na dużą skalę. Interesuje się open source, Linuksem i infrastrukturą cloud native. W swojej pracy skupia się na automatyzacji, bezpieczeństwie i niezawodności systemów.

Welcome to our September event. We’re delighted to welcome Yan Cui, AWS Serverless Hero, independent consultant and Martin Thwaites, Principal Developer Advocate, Honeycomb.io

Here’s what they’re bringing:

Event-driven architecture solves your coupling problem and hands you three new ones. Yan has run production workloads on AWS since 2009 and has trained thousands of developers on EventBridge and Lambda, so he knows exactly where the neat whiteboard diagram falls apart: tracing a request with no call stack, changing an event without breaking consumers you don’t control, and failures that land minutes after the original request. Tonight Yan is giving us the patterns that hold up in production - event envelopes that give you versioning, idempotency and tracing for free, end-to-end tests that stay inside your own bounded context, and a hard look at where governance earns its overhead.

65,000 attendees. Four days. A booth game that has to survive the moment a keynote ends. Martin built Battleships for the Honeycomb booth on EKS, then rebuilt it on Lambda MicroVMs the month they launched, giving every player their own machine with no shared state and no pod to fight over. Tonight Martin is walking us through the rebuild: the cost modelling against EKS, what changed once a session owned a whole VM, and the instrumentation that tells him the game is degrading before an attendee does.

A big thank you to our sponsors Cloudscaler & Rayo.

Programme:
18:00: Arrival, registration
18:15: Talks start
20:00: Networking with food and a drink provided by the generosity of our sponsors.

Session 1:
Event-driven architecture: the hard parts with Yan Cui
Event-driven architectures are great at helping teams build loosely coupled, scalable systems - but the neat architecture diagrams rarely show the difficult bits. In practice, they hand you a fresh set of problems that nobody warns you about at the whiteboard stage.

Once events start flowing across multiple services and bounded contexts, new challenges emerge. How do you trace a request end-to-end when there’s no longer a simple call stack? How do you change an event without unexpectedly breaking consumers you don’t control? And how do you test and operate a system where failures can happen asynchronously, perhaps minutes after the original request?
In this talk, Yan will explore the practical lessons and patterns that make event-driven architectures work in production, including:

• End-to-end observability as events flow across services and asynchronous boundaries
• Testing strategies within bounded contexts, and deciding what should, and shouldn’t, be tested end-to-end
• Schema evolution and how to change events safely without breaking existing consumers
• Catching integration problems early, before they reach production
• Error handling, retries and idempotency, including dealing with duplicate and out-of-order events
• Documentation and governance so teams can understand which events exist, who owns them and how they should be used

Drawing on real-world experience building event-driven systems on AWS, Yan will look beyond the happy path and focus on the trade-offs, failure modes and engineering practices that help these architectures remain manageable as systems and teams grow.

Learning Takeaways

• How to design an event envelope that gives you versioning, idempotency and tracing for free
• Why “no breaking changes” often beats every event versioning scheme, and how to enforce it
• A practical way to scope end-to-end tests so they don’t spill into other teams’ systems
• Where governance is worth the operational overhead, and where it just slows you down

Yan is an AWS Serverless Hero and independent consultant who has run production workloads on AWS since 2009. He helps teams go faster for less with serverless, and has trained thousands of developers through his Production-Ready Serverless workshops. A prolific writer and speaker, his articles on AWS and serverless have been read millions of times.

Session 2:
Every Player Gets a VM: Prepping Battleships for re:Invent Scale with Martin Thwaites
My job is not to build games, but it is to make our booths engaging, and Battleships is my latest creation. The first version ran on EKS, which meant a mostly idle cluster for something that only runs a few days at a time. And then I needed to think about re:Invent and its 65,000 attendees. When Lambda MicroVMs launched in June I rebuilt it, giving every player their own VM with its own dedicated memory and no shared state to fight over, scaling out as far as the queue at the booth demands. You will learn the nuances I hit along the way, how the move changed the architecture once a game session had a whole machine to itself rather than a slice of a pod, and the constraints I am designing around for the moment a keynote ends and the expo hall fills up. I’ll show the cost modelling against EKS and the instrumentation going in so that I will know the game is working before an attendee tells me it isn’t.

Learning Takeaways

• Compare the cost of a persistently provisioned EKS cluster against per-session Lambda MicroVMs for spiky, short-lived workloads, using real modelling rather than intuition.
• Rework an architecture once a session owns a whole machine rather than a slice of a pod - which shared state disappears, and which new constraints take its place.
• Instrument a system so you know it is degrading before a user tells you, and design around the failure modes of a hard, unmovable traffic spike.

Martin is a Principal Developer Advocate at Honeycomb and a contributor to OpenTelemetry’s .NET libraries. He has spent the last seven years working in observability, following a twenty-year engineering career building large-scale systems. His focus is distributed tracing and telemetry pipelines in cloud-native environments. He advocates for observability as a core part of software engineering, something owned by the engineers building software, not just the teams operating it.

3. normalis Tech Talk & Networking Abend

Bei unserem 3. normalis Tech Talk & Networking dreht sich alles um Testing & Observability in verteilten Systemen.

Der Vortrag wird von unserem Principal Test Engineer Marian Schmidt gehalten, der Einblicke aus dem Projektalltag und aus der Arbeit mit komplexen Systemlandschaften mitbringt.

Verteilte Systeme bringen im Projektalltag oft Herausforderungen mit sich, die sich mit klassischen Testansätzen allein nur schwer greifen lassen. Fehler entstehen selten isoliert, sondern häufig im Zusammenspiel verschiedener Services, Schnittstellen und Komponenten. Genau dadurch werden Ursachenanalysen schnell unübersichtlich und zeitaufwendig.

Im Talk schauen wir uns an, warum Observability heute eine immer wichtigere Rolle spielt und wie Logs, Metrics und Traces dabei helfen können, Systemverhalten besser zu verstehen und Probleme gezielter einzuordnen. Außerdem sprechen wir über typische Herausforderungen aus realen Projekten: fehlende End-to-End-Sichtbarkeit, unklare Root-Cause-Analysen und die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven von Entwicklung, Testing und Betrieb.

Wie immer bleibt nach dem Vortrag Zeit für Diskussionen, Fragen und lockeren Austausch bei Essen & Drinks.

- The new wave of infrastructure primitives for AI agents and harnesses - Tiina Vaahtio, AI Engineer (Aiven)

Welcome to our September Meetup hosted by the Aalto University!

We are taking registrations to the event on Meetabit: https://www.meetabit.com/events/september-edition-secrets-in-the-cluster-and-other-topics

Schedule:
17:00 Doors open
17:00 - 17:30 Networking
17:30 - 18:00 Host & organizers - Welcome and practicalities
18:00 - 18:30 There are Secrets in the Cluster: A field investigation into eight years of secrets management - Andrei Maltsev @ AlphaSense
18:30 - 19:00 Break. networking with food and drinks
19:00 - 19:30 Kubernetes resource operations - Joseph Shriner @ Polar Squad
Most IaC tools introduce a second runtime, proprietary DSLs, and brittle state files. But if you run Kubernetes, you already have a declarative control plane for your infrastructure.
This session shows how to manage cloud and baremetal platforms using standard CNCF tools: Flux CD, Cluster API (CAPI), cloud operators, and SOPS. We walk through a GitOps monorepo pattern that provisions clusters and cloud resources with zero HCL and zero state files directly from your laptop.
19:30 - 20:00 MetaPod: Remotely attesting large Kubernetes applications - Lachlan Gunn @ Aalto university, ELASTIC Project
A microservice application deployed using confidential computing runs each instance of a service in a hardware-protected virtual machine, that can prove its state to remote parties using attestation. However, remote attestation can only prove the state of individual virtual machines, and not the application as a whole when it is spread across many physical hosts. We have developed MetaPod, a system that combines the remote attestation evidence from the component pods of a Kubernetes application to ensure the correctness not only of the individual pods in an application, but that they have been correctly orchestrated as an entire MetaPod application.

A new meetup in the South!
Have you ever wondered about all the places Kubernetes is running nowadays—and under what circumstances?
Join us for a talk about running Kubernetes on a container ship, followed by a deep dive into finding an upstream kernel bug through debugging K8s networking !

The program will go as this:

• 17:00-18:00 Walk-in
• 18:00-18:05 Welcome
• 18:05-18:50 1st Talk: Pascal Widdershoven (Kabisa) Running k8s at sea
• 18:50-19:30 Pizzas
• 19:30-20:15 2nd Talk: Manuel Mascarenhas & Ronald van Zandvoort (ASML): Taking flight with Cilium eBPF – Is that you Icarus?
• 20:15 - 21:30 Networking & drinks
• 21:30 End

1st Talk:
Title: Running k8s at sea

Description:
While keeping your K8s infrastructure running smoothly on land is one thing, taking it out to open waters requires a complete sea-change in engineering. High latency, intermittent connectivity, limited edge power, and harsh physical environments mean you can’t just rely on your standard cloud blueprints when you’re literally floating on the ocean.

Speaker: Pascal Widdershoven & Luk van den Borne

2nd Talk:
Title: How to find a kernel network bug

Description:
The power of the kernel in the palm of your
hands comes with great responsibility.
Ever dove so deep into networking for months on end to find a obscure bug that is happening to your systems with no end in sight on what the problem is ?
Our second speakers will give you there horror story about finding and dealing with strange and obscure network bugs that eventually where tracked down to a Linux kernel bug.

Speaker: Manuel Mascarenhas & Ronald van Zandvoort

Prelekcja #1: “Anatomia skalowalnych systemów przetwarzania obrazów z AI” - Jakub Zaron

Jak są skonstruowane systemy, które masowo przetwarzają obrazy i wideo z wykorzystaniem AI? Jakub opowie o stricte inżynieryjnej stronie: dlaczego to idealny use case dla chmury publicznej, jak bolą problemy z dostępnością GPU i czy można im zaradzić, jak skalować i priorytetyzować. Będzie też o zderzeniu ML z inżynierią: Python i jego ograniczenia w zrównoleglaniu, trudności w testowaniu E2E i niespodzianki przy pomiarze stopnia wykorzystania mocy GPU. Praktycznie, w oparciu o dwa faktycznie istniejące systemy produkcyjne.

Jakub Zaron - inżynier systemów oprogramowania z ponad 10-letnim doświadczeniem. Jako Principal ML Engineer w Nearmap buduje zespół rozwijający wielkoskalową platformę do ekstrakcji danych ze zdjęć lotniczych z użyciem AI. Wcześniej w Respo.Vision prowadził zespół budujący platformę do przetwarzania nagrań meczów piłkarskich, od pierwszych wersji po produkcyjną skalę.

Lightning Talk: “Od kodu do incydentu: aplikacja na Kubernetes pod czujnym okiem IBM Instana” - Kacper Kurowski

Czy da się zbudować aplikację, wdrożyć ją na Kubernetes i zdiagnozować awarię - w 15 minut, na żywo? Spróbujemy. Zaczniemy od wygenerowania prostej aplikacji z pomocą asystenta AI IBM Bob, wypchniemy ją na klaster Kubernetes monitorowany przez IBM Instana. Wygenerujemy awarię przez wyłączenie poda z bazą lub przepełnienie kolejki i zabijamy poda z bazą danych i patrzymy, jak Instana w czasie rzeczywistym pokazuje, co i dlaczego się posypało.

Kacper Kurowski - od 20 lat pomaga ogarniać aplikacje i infrastrukturę, a ostatnio również związane z nimi koszty. W IBM zajmuje się rozwiązaniami z obszaru IT Automation i FinOps. Najbardziej interesuje go to, jak monitoring i automatyzacja mogą ułatwić codzienną pracę administratorów. Lubi sprawdzać, jak technologia radzi sobie z prawdziwymi problemami, a nie tylko dobrze wygląda na slajdach.

Prelekcja #2: “Vulns, Patching & AI: Building Modern RiskOps” - Bartosz Moskwik

Zapraszamy na opowieść o tym, jak zbudowano wewnętrzną platformę do zarządzania podatnościami dla 8000 hostów, wykorzystując Wazuh, intensywne "vibe coding" oraz złoty algorytm priorytetyzacji, który zaoszczędził niezliczone godziny pracy inżynierów. Podczas prelekcji przyjrzymy się wyzwaniom związanym z tak dużą skalą infrastruktury, gdzie tradycyjne metody skanowania i raportowania często zawodzą pod naporem tysięcy alertów dziennie. Omówimy, jak nasz algorytm priorytetyzacji pozwala odsiać szum informacyjny od realnych zagrożeń, koncentrując zasoby zespołu na krytycznych lukach, oraz dlaczego w środowisku rozproszonym precyzyjne ustalanie wag ryzyka jest kluczowe dla zachowania ciągłości operacyjnej i bezpieczeństwa danych.

Bartosz Moskwik - Senior Security Engineer w Surfshark. Były tester, pentester, deweloper oraz inżynier AppSec i DevSecOps. Obecnie koncentruje się na budowaniu rozwiązań z zakresu bezpieczeństwa korporacyjnego dla ery LLM, automatyzacji powtarzalnych zadań i przekształcaniu chaosu związanego z podatnościami w procesy, którymi można efektywnie zarządzać w dużej skali. Dumny „vibe coder”, rozwijający obecnie nową specjalizację - nadzór i zarządzanie agentami AI.

Prelekcja #1: “Do baru wchodzi DevOps, Golang, AI, aparat fotograficzny i Instagram” - Amadeusz Kryze

Co się stanie, gdy połączysz pasję, sprzęt fotograficzny, wyzwania jutra i odrobinę... lenistwa? Zwykłe „co by było, gdyby” szybko przeradza się w działający projekt! Zapraszamy na pełne praktycznych wniosków omówienie procesu tworzenia autorskiego narzędzia do automatyzacji rolek na Instagramie. Amadeusz opowie o wykorzystanych technologiach - od AI, frameworków i Golanga, przez matematykę, statystykę i interfejsy TUI, aż po codzienną walkę ze sprzętem, zasięgiem i pracą prosto z samochodu. Nie zabraknie potknięć, błędów wizualnych i chwil zwątpienia. Na koniec zobaczymy finalny efekt, który idealnie podsumowuje znana maksyma: „lepsze jest wrogiem dobrego”.

Amadeusz Kryze - jak mówi o sobie: “jestem prostym DevOpsem. Pracuję w swoim repozytorium. Raz coś zdeployuję, raz zrobię rollback. Raz podniosę klaster, raz klaster podniesie mnie. Gdybym miał powiedzieć, co w DevOpsie cenię najbardziej… Powiedziałbym: automatyzację. Automatyzację, która sprawia, że nie muszę o drugiej w nocy logować się przez SSH na produkcję i ręcznie restartować kontenera. Automatyzację, dzięki której człowiek może sobie spokojnie kliknąć merge, a potem patrzeć, jak cały proces sam przechodzi przez build, testy, security scan, staging i deployment. Oczywiście do momentu, kiedy pipeline zrobi się czerwony.”

Prelekcja #2: “Bezpieczeństwo systemów Windows” - Wiktor Marchwicki

Windows oferuje mechanizmy bezpieczeństwa, które często pozostają niewykorzystane lub są błędnie skonfigurowane. Podczas prezentacji omówimy praktyczne aspekty logowania zdarzeń, najważniejsze zdarzenia wykorzystywane podczas analizy incydentów oraz konfiguracje logowania zdarzeń. Przedstawione zostaną ciekawostki z systemu Windows, które wpływają na jego bezpieczeństwo. Zaprezentowane będą także mechanizmy hardeningu i ustawienia, które realnie podnoszą poziom bezpieczeństwa systemu Windows.

Wiktor Marchwicki - człowiek po niebieskiej stronie mocy, specjalizujący się w obszarach: DFIR, Threat Hunting oraz Detection Engineering. Na co dzień koncentruje się na analizie artefaktów systemowych, projektowaniu detekcji i wczesnym wykrywaniu technik atakujących. Po godzinach zwykle w biegu - dosłownie, od krótkich dystansów po długie ultra, kiedy tylko znajdzie czas.

Back from summer, and back with the Cloud Community in Porto!

#11 Cloud Native Porto marks our rentrée, and we're doing it alongside good friends: Cloud Native Porto 🤝 DevOps na Praia

An evening of platform engineering, data pipelines and developer experience, with time to catch up with the community after the summer break. Made possible with the support of Cleva, who are hosting us, and with the help of synvert xgeeks as an ongoing CNP sponsor. Also a big thank you to Miro for sponsoring the Catering for the evening!

📍 Location: Cleva - Porto
📅 Date: September 24, 2026
⏰ Time: 18:30

Agenda & Talks:
🎤 19:00 - From Airflow 2 to Airflow 3: Migrating 100+ DAGs Without Downtime or Developer Burden
Speaker*:* Gonçalo Costa - Data and Site Reliability Engineer @ Miro

Abstract: Migrating a production Airflow deployment from version 2 to 3 without disrupting hundreds of DAGs across multiple teams sounds scary (and it is). In this talk I will share how we migrated versions without a big-bang cutover, without weeks of cross-team change requests, and without leaving our pipelines in a broken state.
I'll walk through how we built a compatibility layer to make sure our code runs on both versions during the migration, how we used AI-tooling to orchestrate 400+ DAG changes and how our on-demand ephemeral environments, full k8s deployments deployed for each pull request, helped us experiment and test all the required changes.
Most important of all, I will share what we learned, where we failed and what we would do better next time.

🎤 19:30 - Zero Docker, Zero Kubernetes: The Power of DevBox
Speaker: Carlos Nogueira - Senior Platform Engineer @ Flutter

Abstract: Are you tired of wasting time on environment setup, compatibility issues, or the dreaded 'but it works on my machine' problem? DevBox is the answer to modern development friction. In this session, we will explore what a DevBox truly is and how it allows teams to standardize their environment, ensure consistency from development through production, and achieve maximum velocity. If you want to cut down on setup time and ramp up coding time, this is for you

🍕 20:00 - Networking, Food & Drinks

Join us at Cleva's offices in Porto to connect with the community, share ideas, and network with Cloud Native and DevOps enthusiasts!

A big thank you to Cleva for opening their doors and hosting this edition, and to synvert xgeeks and Miro for making this evening possible with the amazing caterign that we will have.

Autumn is arriving in Vienna — and so is our next AWS meetup! 🍂

If you’ve ever run terraform init, chances are high you’ve already used his code. Anton Babenko — AWS Community Hero, creator of the Terraform AWS modules (provisioned over 2 billion times worldwide), author of the Terraform Best Practices ebook, and the voice behind the Your Weekly Dose of Terraform YouTube channel — is joining us live in Vienna.

He’ll show how to close the trust gap between AI-generated Terraform and production reality. No slides-only theory: real modules, real contracts, real guardrails, live on stage. Plus: a second speaker and topic to be announced soon — stay tuned!
A big thank you to enspired GmbH for hosting us and keeping the community alive! 🙌

📍 Location
enspired GmbH Wagenseilgasse 3/4, 1120 Wien

🕒 When
Monday, September 28, 2026 Doors open at 17:00 for networking, food & drinks. Talks start at 18:00.

🗓️ Agenda
17:00 – 18:00: Entry & Networking
18:00 – 18:05: Welcome and Introduction AWS Community Vienna 18:05 – 18:10: Welcome and Introduction to the sponsors (enspired) 18:10 – 18:50: "The Terraform Trust Gap: Engineering the Space Between Prompts and Production" 18:50 – 19:20: Networking break 19:20 – 20:00: "enspired by CDK" 20:00 – Open End: Networking

"The Terraform Trust Gap: Engineering the Space Between Prompts and Production"

Speaker: Anton Babenko — AWS Community Hero / Terraform influencer / compliance.tf

About the talk:
Agents can already write Terraform. That was never the hard part. The hard part is that the context going in is stale and the apply coming out is too easy to hand over, so you get code that looks right, passes your linters, even terraform plan passed, but still it quietly does the wrong thing in production. This talk runs one module everyone knows, terraform-aws-modules/s3-bucket, through the whole chain live. First I give the agent a real contract instead of a README and watch the hallucinated config disappear. Then I take one of the module's own examples and turn it into a fixture that fails the moment it drifts from the module. Then I let the agent plan changes but not apply them. A human has to approve the plan first, and apply only runs on the approved one. On stage the agent tries to apply by itself and you watch it get blocked. You leave with three things to do on Monday, every pattern working with open tooling, and an honest feedback of where the chain still breaks. No vendor account, no prompt magic.

"enspired by CDK"
Speaker: enspired GmbH — Engineering Team

About the talk:
Discover how we evolved our Infrastructure as Code journey with AWS CDK — from fast early implementations to standardised, reusable, production-ready patterns and secure, universal deployments. We will share the decisions, best practices, lessons learned, and hard-earned insights that helped us understand not only how to use CDK effectively, but also when not to use it.

✅ Spędzisz wieczór w świetnym technologicznym gronie

🎤 Agenda
🔹 Sesja #1
🧠 Agentic workflow w praktyce: GitHub, Azure DevOps, praca lokalna i Azure AI Foundry
👨‍💻 Janusz Nowak
AI w developmentcie to już nie tylko Copilot w IDE. W tej prezentacji pokażę, jak może wyglądać praktyczny agentic workflow obejmujący kilka obszarów codziennej pracy: agent workflow w GitHub, agentic workflow w Azure DevOps, lokalny setup developerski oraz połączenie tego wszystkiego z Azure AI Foundry. 😉

🔹 Sesja #2
⚙️ Twoje API jako narzędzie AI. MCP na Azure App Service
👨‍💻 Marcin Iwanowski
Jak sprawić, aby GitHub Copilot i inni agenci AI mogli bezpiecznie korzystać z funkcji naszej aplikacji? Podczas prezentacji pokażę dwa sposoby uruchomienia serwera MCP w Azure App Service: własną implementację dającą pełną kontrolę oraz wbudowany mechanizm, który zamienia operacje istniejącego API OpenAPI w narzędzia dostępne dla agentów — bez zmian w kodzie. Omówię również architekturę rozwiązania, uwierzytelnianie przez Microsoft Entra ID oraz praktyczne scenariusze automatyzacji procesów

🎟️ Udział oczywiście bezpłatny.
Przyjdź posłuchać, podyskutować, poznać ludzi z branży albo po prostu przekonać się, jak bardzo AI nam pomaga... i jak kreatywnie czasem potrafi zepsuć dzień developerowi. 😁
Do zobaczenia 29 września!
