CLC 2024: From DevOps with AI to Kubernetes Security to Sustainability

It is hard to imagine cloud-native software development and application delivery without containers and Kubernetes. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) open source project will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2024. However, in practice, companies as well as their dev and ops teams still face a variety of challenges. CLC Conference – Persistent Lifecycle/ContainerConf – Addresses the most important questions about Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery (CD), Dev(sec)Ops and GitOps each year to provide answers, information and support for everyday project life. In addition to expert knowledge for Dev(sec)Ops and platform engineering, CLC is focusing this year on topics: from AI tools to sustainability. Early bird discount tickets can still be booked until September 23.

as part of Then Madeleine Stevens gives an insightful reportHow RTL Data’s platform engineering team managed to reduce the resource requirements of over 100 Kubernetes clusters — and thus also reduce cloud costs.

AI as a useful assistant

In his lecture “GenAI to the rescue — no more inconsistent requirements and manually created test cases“For example, Stefan Schluff and Isaac Bessel Watnick share their experiences gained in a Lighthouse project on how workflows in testing and requirements management can be optimized using GenAI.

On the other hand, developers John Fletcher and Daniel Hartung provide A practical overview of the most important AI toolsWhich can provide valuable assistance in programming. They also make concrete suggestions about which tool is best suited for which scenario and address legal and security-related questions.
