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 3 (Third Floor)
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...

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 AB (Second Floor)
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...

Hardening and Scaling Open Agentic Infrastructure With MCP - Hema Veeradhi, Red Hat
Tuesday June 16, 2026 2:00pm - 2:40pm IST

AI agents are often limited by proprietary "plugin" silos and bespoke integrations. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) offers a universal interface to break these walls, but moving from local scripts to enterprise-scale introduces Day 2 operational hurdles. How do we discover tool-servers in a dynamic cluster? How do we secure the bridge between LLM reasoning and system execution? This session...

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.

As banks shift from traditional software to LLMs, the threat landscape is evolving from "bugs in code" to "poison in data." Traditional vulnerability management (CVEs) cannot detect a model that has been trained to have a backdoor. This lightning talk explores the critical risk of Data Poisoning and Indirect Prompt Injection in a regulated fintech environment. We will walk through concrete...

When Nobody Owns Quality: Making Testing Responsibility Explicit in Open Source Projects - Ujjwal Kumar Singh, Skeps
Wednesday June 17, 2026 1:40pm - 2:20pm IST
Lotus 3 (Third Floor)
Who owns testing standards in your project? Who decides release gates? Who pays the cost of test debt? Many open source projects cannot answer clearly. Not because maintainers do not care, but because test health responsibility emerges informally rather than being explicitly defined. What remains informal becomes nobody's obligation until it turns into everyone's problem. Examining governance...

Modern CPUs rely on spatial locality when fetching fixed-size cache lines, but kernel structures are often laid out without reflecting runtime access patterns. Frequency-based reordering groups hot fields together but misses a key insight: two high-frequency fields accessed at different times can still waste cache capacity through eviction between accesses. We propose access-affinity-based...

Wednesday June 17, 2026 5:15pm - 5:55pm IST
205 AB (Second Floor)
Most organizations are running IAM infrastructure designed for a different era — built around human users and browser-based logins, then grown through procurement until it became fragmented and misaligned with how modern enterprises actually work. Three forces are about to stress this model beyond its limits. AI agents need identities and governance just like humans but operate nothing like...

Writing for Machines: How To Capture Your Project's "Vibe" and Survive AI Slop - Kaushlendra Pratap Singh & Shaheem Azmal M MD, Siemens
Wednesday June 17, 2026 5:15pm - 5:55pm IST
Jasmine 2 (Third Floor)
Vibe coding is the latest buzz - the practice of defining your intent and letting AI handle the syntax. But are you doing it right to be the 10x developer, or still struggling with the AI Slop? Open source is currently the battleground for this transition, drowning in "AI Slop" and "AI Pressure". The problem isn't isolated with the AI capabilities; our outdated developer mindset is to be blamed...

From Pipelines To Provenance: Reproducible Builds With Tekton - Shubham Bhardwaj & Divyanshu Agrawal, Red Hat
Wednesday June 17, 2026 5:15pm - 5:55pm IST
204 AB (Second Floor)
What if two independent builds of the same source code produced byte-identical artifacts every time? That’s the goal of reproducible builds and one of the strongest guarantees we can provide for software supply chain integrity. Yet in many CI/CD systems, builds still include hidden sources of nondeterminism. In this session we’ll break down what reproducible builds actually mean, why they...

Wednesday June 17, 2026 6:25pm - 7:05pm IST
206 AB (Second Floor)
Cloud-native systems generate massive volumes of telemetry signals for metrics, logs, and traces, but more data does not always improve observability. Many teams struggle with noisy signals and poorly designed pipelines that increase storage costs and flood engineers with low-value alerts. In this hands-on workshop, we focus on building effective, noise-free telemetry pipelines using...

Facing Extinction: The Fight To Keep Hardware Crypto Engines in Embedded Linux - Kamlesh Gurudasani & T Pratham, Texas Instruments

Hardware cryptographic accelerators have been essential in embedded SoCs for decades, yet upstream Linux maintainers are removing/rejecting them. The extinction is underway. In 2025, maintainers began removing async crypto API support, targeting engines from major SoC vendors for deprecation.[1][2] Software wins on throughput for typical payloads.

JSON Wastes 60% of Your AI-LLM Tokens. TOON Fixes That - Vitthal Mirji
Wednesday June 17, 2026 6:25pm - 7:05pm IST
Jasmine 2 (Third Floor)
Every token sent to an LLM costs money. When you serialize data as JSON for a prompt, you pay for repeated field names, extra braces, and structural noise on every single row. For large datasets that overhead runs to 40-60% of your token bill & it adds nothing useful to the prompt. TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) is a compact, human-readable format built specifically for LLM prompts. It...

204 AB (Second Floor)
Securing software supply chains requires more than just standard formats like SBOMs or SLSA Provenance.

6G isn't just faster 5G it's a paradigm shift toward semantic and goal-oriented communications, where networks transmit meaning rather than raw bits. The ITU IMT-2030 framework positions native AI and semantic layers as first-class network citizens. But what does this look like in open source?

Current evaluation methods for AI agents, which depend on static benchmarks, are in adequate for real-world systems. This session reveals why accuracy-centric evaluations create a dangerous illusion of readiness and how real systems—shifting APIs, incomplete signals, tool failures, cascading dependencies, and environment drift—expose brittleness that benchmarks never measure.

Oops, My AI Agent Just Deleted All My Email: Locking Down Agents With Signed Policies - Rahul Vishwakarma, Highlevel
Wednesday June 17, 2026 7:15pm - 7:55pm IST
204 AB (Second Floor)
Last week, a developer's AI coding agent was asked to refactor a module. Instead, it read .env files, ran git push --force on main, and made 300 API calls costing $47. The agent worked exactly as designed - there were just no guardrails with teeth. AI agents can now execute shell commands, access secrets, call APIs, and spawn sub-agents. But today's safety approaches are just filters - they can't...
