Performance-by-Design: Embedding Intelligent Scaling and Guardrails Into Platform Engineering - Josephine Eskaline Joyce & Tanya Shanker, IBM India Pvt Ltd

Tuesday June 16, 2026 2:00pm - 2:40pm IST

Lotus Ballroom 3 (Level 3)

In the modern practice of Platform Engineering (PE), performance has traditionally been viewed as an outcome of optimization rather than an architectural principle. This session presents a Performance-by-Design methodology that integrates intelligent scaling, guardrails, feedback-driven control loops within Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). Instead of reacting to incidents, we design platforms that manage latency, throughput, cost efficiency, and stability by applying policy-driven autoscaling, SLO-aware metrics, and Kubernetes-native mechanisms constantly. The session outlines a reference architecture with observability pipelines, custom metrics, horizontal pod autoscaling, and platform guardrails to ensure a self-regulating cloud-native operating environment. We show how performance constraints can be codified into golden paths; teams will inherit optimized defaults. Attendees will receive a structured framework to convert performance from reactive tuning task to platform capabilities - increasing reliability, decreasing resource consumption and allowing scalable innovation on enterprise cloud-native ecosystems.

Operating a Self-Healing Bare-Metal Kubernetes Platform at Global Scale - Aparna Prabhu & Nikhil Pathak, DigitalOcean

Tuesday June 16, 2026 2:00pm - 2:40pm IST

205 (Level 2)

Running global, self-managed k8s for stateful apps is notoriously complex. Most teams opt for managed platforms or VMs to mask the difficulty.

For platform engineers and SREs, this talk reveals how to confidently run mission-critical StatefulSets on bare-metal k8s. We share how we sustain 99.99% availability SLAs and sub-second recovery. We also explain why bare-metal drastically outperforms VM or managed setups by eliminating hypervisor overhead and granting direct hardware access.

We will dive into the architectural decisions behind:

Cluster-of-clusters: Scaling geographically with isolated regions.
Intent-driven placement: Hardware isolation for predictable performance.
Blast-radius containment: Limiting fallout via dedicated failure domains.
Automated recovery: Software, not humans at 2 a.m., handles failures.
Continuous reconciliation: Shifting operational burden to code.

This is not a "Kubernetes solves everything" pitch. It’s a candid, numbers-driven account of engineering a multi-region bare-metal k8s platform where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.

Building a Zero-Copy DSP Offload Framework in Linux Using RPMsg - Vishnu Pratap Singh & Paresh Bhagat, Texas Instruments

Tuesday June 16, 2026 2:00pm - 2:40pm IST

Lotus Ballroom 2 (Level 3)

Modern embedded audio devices increasingly run mainline Linux, but achieving deterministic low-latency multi-channel audio processing remains a challenge. While heterogeneous SoCs include DSP accelerators capable of handling signal processing workloads efficiently, integrating these accelerators into a standard Linux audio stack without proprietary middleware is non-trivial.
This talk presents a practical, upstream-friendly approach to building a zero-copy DSP offload framework using mainline Linux components such as remoteproc, rpmsg, and ALSA. Instead of relying on custom kernel patches or vendor-specific frameworks, the solution leverages DMA-backed shared memory and rpmsg-based signaling to enable efficient inter-processor communication between ARM application cores and a DSP.
A key focus of this session is eliminating redundant memory copies across kernel and user space boundaries. By designing a ping-pong buffer architecture with shared memory mapping and pointer-based synchronization, we achieved deterministic real-time streaming with significantly reduced CPU utilization and improved latency characteristics.

Hey Yocto, Build Me a Custom Embedded Linux! Er, No - Kaiwan Billimoria, kaiwanTECH

Tuesday June 16, 2026 2:00pm - 2:40pm IST

204 (Level 2)

The Linux ecosystem powers many, if not most, devices these days. Having a well designed sustainable way to build and maintain one – and not having to rely on a hodge-podge collection of hacky scripts – is critical. This talk introduces the Yocto Project - _the_ industry standard way to build and maintain your custom Linux.

With Yocto, one can build a custom (embedded or otherwise) Linux in an efficient and completely reproducible manner, along with several related advantages; it's a 100% open source, has the ability to build-in security features, all/most major BSP layers are already available, and more.

This session will show you exactly how to get started on building such a custom system with Yocto; it will of course include leveraging Yocto/OE’s famed layer+recipes model.

Sponsored Session: Does Zephyr Scare the Bare Metal Embedded Developer World? - Khasim Syed Mohammed & Soumya Tripathy, Texas Instruments

Tuesday June 16, 2026 2:00pm - 2:40pm IST

206 (Level 2)

Bare-metal developers pride themselves on simplicity, control, and understanding every line of code. Then along comes Zephyr—with device trees, Kconfig, west, and layers of abstraction—and suddenly, even blinking an LED feels complicated. So… is Zephyr actually scary?

In this talk, we take a practical and honest look at why Zephyr often feels overwhelming to bare-metal developers, what’s really going on under the hood, and whether that complexity is justified. Through side-by-side comparisons and live examples, we map familiar bare-metal concepts to their Zephyr equivalents and uncover where the fear comes from—and where it disappears.

This isn’t a “Zephyr is better” talk. It’s about understanding trade-offs, choosing the right tool, and making the transition without losing your mental model.

By the end, you’ll see that Zephyr isn’t replacing bare metal—it’s structuring the complexity you were already managing.

AI as a Platform Engineer: Explaining Kubernetes Failures, Not Just Detecting Them - Paranitharan Kalaiselvan, Comcast

Tuesday June 16, 2026 2:50pm - 3:30pm IST

Lotus Ballroom 3 (Level 3)

Modern Kubernetes platforms generate massive volumes of logs, events, metrics, and reconciliation signals, yet developers still struggle to answer a basic question: why did my deployment fail? At Comcast, operating large-scale internal Kubernetes platforms, failures often span platform abstractions, custom controllers, policies, and cluster runtime behavior—making manual diagnosis slow and unreliable.

This talk explores how AI can act as a diagnostic layer in Kubernetes platforms, focusing on failure explanation rather than detection. It presents architectural patterns for correlating platform intent with Kubernetes signals and translating complex control-plane behavior into clear, human-readable explanations and actionable guidance. Attendees will learn how AI can augment platform engineers, improve developer trust, and significantly reduce time-to-resolution without becoming another opaque system.

Kubernetes OIDC That Works in Practice: Keycloak + RBAC + Kubelogin Without Day‑2 Pain - Manik Bindlish, Orange Business Services

Tuesday June 16, 2026 2:50pm - 3:30pm IST

205 (Level 2)

Kubernetes supports OIDC login, but in real life it often becomes painful: users can’t log in, TLS trust breaks with private Keycloak, usernames don’t match RBAC rules, and people end up sharing kubeconfigs or using long‑lived tokens.

In this talk I’ll show a practical way to run Kubernetes access with Keycloak: configure OIDC the right way, bind users/groups to Kubernetes RBAC, and use kubelogin (kubectl exec plugin) so tokens are short‑lived and refresh is handled automatically on the client side.
I’ll also cover the “boring” but important part: handling the Keycloak CA certificate so the login works from admin machines without manual steps.
You’ll leave with a clear checklist and a working “golden path” setup you can copy for your own clusters, that eliminate manual day‑2 steps while keeping security and auditability intact.

Keep AI on Track: Guardrails + OpenTelemetry Observability - Prabal Rakshit, Infosys Technologies

Tuesday June 16, 2026 2:50pm - 3:30pm IST

Jasmine Hall 2 (Level 3)

Robust guardrails are a foundational requirement for preparing AI agents for enterprise‑grade deployment. They ensure that agents consistently adhere to organizational standards, policies, and ethical expectations.

OpenTelemetry provides a vendor‑agnostic, standards‑based framework for observing and validating guardrail behavior at runtime. Its unified APIs and emerging generative AI semantic conventions enable organizations to safely instrument guardrail logic, eliminate silent failures, and capture valuable telemetry across decision points.

This session explores the role of guardrails across the entire AI stack, including data layers, infrastructure, orchestration components, and LLMs themselves. We demonstrate how open‑source frameworks such as NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails or OpenLIT can be used to implement production‑ready guardrail mechanisms. Finally, we show how key guardrail metrics such as pass/fail rates, top violation categories, and latency impact can be instrumented using OpenTelemetry and visualized through enterprise observability backends like Dynatrace or Grafana.

Event-Driven Platform Engineering: From Reactive Ops To Autonomous Control Loops - Josephine Eskaline Joyce & Prashanth Bhat, IBM India Pvt Ltd

Tuesday June 16, 2026 3:40pm - 4:20pm IST

206 (Level 2)

Modern platform teams are overwhelmed by reactive operations where manual escalation, delayed remediation, and siloed automation take over. This session presents Event-Driven Platform Engineering as a framework for the design of platforms from ticket-driven systems to autonomous control loops. With the aid of Kubernetes controllers, event streams, policy engines, and real-time telemetry, platforms can identify, decide, and act without recourse to human intervention. We will also look at how events from observability systems, CI/CD pipelines, policy violations, and runtime signals can be transformed into actionable triggers for automation that powers scaling, remediation, governance enforcement, and developer workflows. The talk presents a reference architecture consisting of Kubernetes operators, Prometheus metrics, event brokers, and policy-as-code frameworks for developing self-adaptive internal developer platforms. Attendees will gain a structured approach to designing event-native platforms such as MTTR reduction, SLA compliance, continuous guardrails enforcement, and developer experience enhancement that align with open-source cloud-native environments.

I Break Things, AI Fixes Them: Building a Self-Healing CI/CD Pipeline - Premved Dhote, Red Hat

Tuesday June 16, 2026 3:40pm - 4:20pm IST

Lotus Ballroom 3 (Level 3)

A broken deployment is every developer's nightmare. Standard CI/CD pipelines fail on minor typos or missing dependencies, forcing engineers to dig through logs and push manual fixes. What if your infrastructure could safely fix itself?
This session explores the transition from rigid automation to AI-driven recovery, introducing the "Pipeline Doctor" in Python: an agentic AI system acting as a self-healing safety net for your repositories.
Allowing AI to write production code sounds terrifying, doesn't it? This is why this talk prioritizes strict execution guardrails. Attendees will learn to set strict tool-calling boundaries around the LLM that securely restrict its capabilities.
Watch me intentionally break a live deployment pipeline to demonstrate how the autonomous agent catches the failure, securely verifies its fix inside an isolated GitHub Actions sandbox, and submits a Pull Request paired with an auto-generated Root Cause Analysis (RCA). Attendees will leave with a practical, open-source blueprint to build self-healing pipelines in their own environments.

Guide To Become Linux Kernel Maintainer - Krzysztof Kozlowski, Qualcomm

Tuesday June 16, 2026 4:50pm - 5:30pm IST

Lotus Ballroom 3 (Level 3)

Linux kernel development has long since moved past the point of lacking contributors, with around 2,000 developers participating in each release and up to 330 first-time committers [1]. What the development process is missing, however, are reviewers and maintainers.

If you ever thought that becoming a Linux kernel maintainer was something reserved for members of a secret kernel lodge, join this talk in which we will explain why - and how - you should become a Linux kernel maintainer, with a focus on improving the Embedded Linux ecosystem.

Intention of this talk is not only present Krzysztof's ideas how to become Linux kernel maintainer, but also bring discussion with the audience, hoping more senior kernel maintainers will join and participate with their ideas and comments. Thus it could be considered a sort of half-Birds of Feather session.

An Introduction To Coreboot and LinuxBoot: Building Modern Open Boot Stack - Manish Baing & Arun Mahendran, Lenovo

Tuesday June 16, 2026 4:50pm - 5:30pm IST

206 (Level 2)

Modern server infrastructure is frequently limited by proprietary UEFI firmware—a slow, unauditable "black box" that introduces security risks and operational bloat. This session presents a transformative alternative: a lean, open-source boot stack pairing coreboot with LinuxBoot to achieve rapid boot times .
We will explore the technical synergy between these two powerhouses. coreboot handles the critical "early wake-up" of silicon—including DRAM, CPU, and PCI initialization—before handing control to LinuxBoot. By embedding a minimalist Linux kernel directly into the firmware flash, LinuxBoot replaces complex UEFI DXE phases with battle-tested upstream drivers. Attendees will learn the conceptual foundations of the u-root Go-based userland for flexible networking and storage logic, alongside the kexec system call for seamless transitions to the production OS. This session provides a roadmap for building vendor-neutral, high-performance infrastructure from the reset vector up.

Efficient Performance Profiling for Virtual Machines - Sandipan Das, AMD

Tuesday June 16, 2026 5:40pm - 6:20pm IST

Lotus Ballroom 3 (Level 3)

Performance profiling in virtualized environments has traditionally required trade-offs between accuracy and overhead. Mediated PMU, a recent change to Linux's built-in KVM hypervisor, fundamentally changes this by providing guests direct access to hardware Performance Monitoring Units (PMUs).

This talk will:
- Explore the differences between the old and new approaches.
- Demonstrate a reduction in PMU virtualization overhead and improvement in profiling accuracy.
- Discuss the key trade-off: while guests gain direct hardware access, the host loses the ability to profile guest workloads through perf.

This talk is ideal for virtualization engineers, kernel developers, and anyone performing performance analysis in cloud or virtualized environments who needs accurate, low-overhead profiling data.

Scientific Machine Learning With NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo - Aniket Kulkarni & Samudyata Minasandra, Curlscape

Tuesday June 16, 2026 5:40pm - 6:20pm IST

Jasmine Hall 2 (Level 3)

Predicting how air flows and heat distributes through a physical product is essential for product feasibility studies, performance analysis etc. But it takes hours to days per design variant. You model the geometry, generate a mesh, set up boundary conditions, run the solver, post-process the results. The bigger issue is the back-and-forth between the designer and the simulation engineer. Multiply that by the dozens to hundreds of variants you need to explore a design space, and you get missed deadlines, stale questions, and engineering time spent waiting instead of thinking.
This talk covers usage of OpenFOAM to generate parametric training datasets across geometric and flow parameters with Latin Hypercube Sampling, then train a surrogate model using NVIDIA's PhysicsNeMo framework and its DoMINO (Deep Operator Network for Multi-physics) architecture. DoMINO encodes 3D geometry as a signed distance field, combines it with local surface features, and predicts pressure, temperature, and velocity directly on the part surface in a single forward pass, replacing the entire simulation chain. We'll go through how DoMINO works and why it fits this class of problems.

Recipes and Runtimes: Making Sense of Containers in 2026 - Soundarya Rangarajan, Canonical

Tuesday June 16, 2026 5:40pm - 6:20pm IST

204 (Level 2)

If you feel overwhelmed by jargon thrown around in forums, conferences, and headlines focussed on containers and the cloud, you’re not alone. In 2026, image hardening, provenance, secure supply chains—oops, it’s happening again, isn’t it? Let’s step back.

This session takes a hands-on, bottom-up approach to understand containerization. Build along as we containerize a simple app and run it, starting with a naive approach and iteratively improving it until we have a production-grade image. At each step, new concepts are introduced only once we've understood the need for them. We'll work with Docker, understand container runtimes, even touch upon new-age tools like Rockcraft and Chisel.

To make this fun, we’ll use baking as a guiding analogy: images as recipes, dependencies as ingredients, and runtime environments as kitchens!

By the end, you’ll be able to walk confidently into real-world discussions about containers, ready to participate and learn better.

Tuesday June 16, 2026 5:40pm - 6:20pm IST

206 (Level 2)

Murphy's Law states, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." For an Open-Source project, this can be a daunting task. Imagine you are in between a major architectural change, trying to decouple a monolith and your community itself starts to decouple. This is what happened recently in our decade old community and we would like to share the raw behind-the-scenes of our journey, hoping it will be helpful for others who're going through the same.

Our story will portray, how we lost our veteran leaders and architects departing the community, placing an unprecedented load on the remaining maintainers to bridge a massive gap in expertise, institutional knowledge and maintain stability while executing a high-stakes architectural migration. We will also touch bases on how the GenAI can work as a double-edge sword when you are in short of contributors.

Key Takeaways:
1. Practical strategies for project survival when veteran institutional memory departs mid-migration.
2. Why Next.js was a strategic necessity and not just a nice-to-have upgrade.
3. Navigating the influx of high-volume, variable-quality contributions and managing the burnout.
4. Lessons on building a new leadership.

Lightning Talk: If Zephyr Wants To Power AI Cameras, What Must Change? - Rutvij Trivedi, Silicon Signals Pvt. Ltd.

Tuesday June 16, 2026 6:30pm - 6:45pm IST

Lotus Ballroom 2 (Level 3)

Cameras are no longer just for pictures, they are now real-time data pipelines that send information to ISPs, NPUs, and control logic. This is because edge AI is becoming a most wanted vision systems. Zephyr is good at deterministic embedded control, but AI-driven camera workloads need new architectural features like zero-copy buffer sharing, accelerator coordination, bounded latency, metadata synchronization, and controlled backpressure.

This talks about what needs to change in Zephyr's camera and driver architecture to make AI vision work in the real world. Based on our experience with Linux media pipelines and setting up embedded cameras, we look at where traditional RTOS-style camera models fail and what simple abstractions are needed to make them work without adding too much complexity.

The goal is not to make Linux features equal, but to make the architecture better. This includes designing pipelines, structuring buffer ownership, making streaming states more predictable, and making things easier to see. The goal is to keep Zephyr lightweight while also allowing robotics, industrial, and mission-critical systems to work with the next generation of AI cameras.

Hardware Assisted PMU Virtualization - Manali Shukla, AMD India PVT LTD

Tuesday June 16, 2026 6:30pm - 7:10pm IST

Lotus Ballroom 3 (Level 3)

Virtualizing Performance Monitoring Units (PMUs) requires careful coordination between hardware and software to provide guests with accurate, low-overhead performance monitoring while maintaining security and isolation.

This talk examines what it takes to virtualize PMU features, focusing on a hardware-assisted approach built on the upstream Mediated PMU framework in the Linux kernel.
This talk will
1. Explore motivations such as protecting confidential guests, reducing context-switch overhead, and maintaining host-guest boundaries.
2. Cover hardware support for selective interception, direct interrupt delivery to guests, and automated guest state management, as well as software handling of host state for registers not saved by hardware.
3. Demonstrate performance monitoring counters and instruction-based sampling virtualization, showing how hardware automation improves software-based state management and strengthens security for confidential computing workloads.

This talk is aimed at virtualization engineers, kernel developers, and performance analysts working in cloud or confidential computing environments.

How Kubernetes Networking Really Works: A Packet’s Journey Across Pods and Nodes - Ashwin Sriram, Deutsche Bank & M Viswanath Sai, IIT (BHU)

Tuesday June 16, 2026 6:30pm - 7:10pm IST

204 (Level 2)

Every time one Pod talks to another in Kubernetes, the Linux kernel does a surprising amount of work.

Engineers know Pods get IP addresses. They know Services like ClusterIP and NodePort make workloads reachable. And they trust that traffic somehow finds the right destination.

But what actually happens to a packet once it leaves a Pod, especially when it needs to reach another Pod on a different node?

In this session, we trace that journey across a live Kubernetes cluster. We follow real Pod-to-Pod traffic, observe how packets move across nodes using native Linux networking primitives, and examine what enables flat, routable Pod networking without NAT between workloads.

Rather than treating Kubernetes networking as magic, we connect what we see to the underlying constructs like network namespaces, veth pairs, bridges, routing tables, and packet filtering rules.

Through live demos, attendees will build a clear, practical mental model of how Kubernetes moves packets and leave with a clear mental model for explaining, observing, and debugging Pod-to-Pod traffic in Kubernetes.

Lightning Talk: Strengthening Zephyr’s Camera Framework: Architecture Review and Enhancements - Elgin Perumbilly & Ankit Siddhapura, Silicon Signals Pvt LTD

Tuesday June 16, 2026 6:55pm - 7:10pm IST

Lotus Ballroom 2 (Level 3)

This session compares how camera support is built in the Zephyr Project and in the Linux kernel camera subsystem.

Zephyr focuses on real-time behavior, low memory usage, and simple system design, making it suitable for small, low-power vision devices. Linux, through frameworks such as Video4Linux2 and the Media Controller subsystem, provides a more structured and scalable approach capable of handling complex camera pipelines, multiple cameras, and advanced processing.

The session examines architectural trade offs between the two camera subsystems, comparing their design approaches and highlighting differences in driver structure, pipeline design, and overall system integration. It also explores how Zephyr’s camera architecture can evolve to support more advanced and scalable vision needs, moving closer to Linux capabilities.
