How to test, optimize, and reduce hallucinations of AIs with Thomas Natschlaeger
While Artificial Intelligence seems to have just popped up when OpenAI brought ChatGPT to the consumer market it has its roots in the mids of the 20th century. But what is it that all of a sudden made it into every conversation we seem to have?Thomas Natschlaeger, Principal Data Scientist at Dynatrace, who has been working in the AI and Machine Learning space for the past 30 years gives us a brief historical overview and describes the critical evolutionary steps and compelling events in that technology that made it to what it is today. Tune in and hear about how AIs are trained, how they are optimized and most importantly: how their outputs can be tested and validated!In our conversation we discuss current trends towards small language models that will help model digital twins of our existing roles and how AIs are used to Validate other AIs like we humans do when a senior engineer does pair programming with a junior and with that provides essential feedback on current accuracy and input to improve the outcome of future tasks.Links we discussedLinkedIn Profile from Thomas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-natschlaeger/Ask Me Anything Session on Davis CoPilot: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/grabnerandi_llm-copilot-activity-7373837743971393536-QgxV?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAABLhVQBbh8Jkn_K8din5tsQlMCpXRNzlKUVoxxed Conference Talk: https://amsterdam.voxxeddays.com/talk/?id=39801Attention is all you need paper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_Is_All_You_Need

Hello BOB - Cloud Native Cybersecurity with Bill of Behaviors with Constanze Roedig
On September 8 the world saw the npm supply chain attack. Fortunately the community reacted in record time to avert a disaster. In todays episode we have Constanze Roedig, Key Researcher at SBA Research, who introduces us to the new buddy of SBoM (Software Bill of Materials): SBoB (Software Bill of Behaviors) and her thoughts on how that new approach to fingerprinting software can help cyber security teams. What's a BoB? It's a detailed runtime behavior profile of software. It expands on the static validation option through SBOMs as it allows security teams to validate the correct execution behavior of deployed software at deploy time or continuously in production. Thanks to eBPF, a malicious behavior such as opening non expected ports or accessing non expected files can therefore be detected.Listen to Constanze who shares the work she and Vadim Bauer, Owner of 8gear, have done on this topic. You will learn about how software vendors can create their own SBOBs, ship them with their container images and how security teams can get alerted or enforce any detected malicious behavior. Make sure to check out their GitHub repo, star it if you like it and try their hands-on tutorial!Links:Constanze LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/croedig/Vadim LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vadim-bauer/OBobCtl GitHub Repo: https://github.com/k8sstormcenter/bobctlCloud Native Summit Munich Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XETuwndd_mw&index=11&pp=iAQBnpm supply chain attack: https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/npm-supply-chain-attack-averted/

AI-Native: The Next Revolution after Cloud Native with Pini Reznik
Defining AI-Native in 2025 is like trying to define Cloud Native back in 2014! We are in the early stages of understanding what AI really means to us. The ecosystem is just evolving, and many organizations are still struggling with re-architecting their digital systems to cloud native patterns!To learn more about the current transformational wave—the AI-Native Wave—we have invited Pini Reznik, CEO and Co-Founder of re:cinq. We will discuss what we can learn from previous "waves of innovation," why the business must care, and why the primary AI use case should not be just cost-cutting! Make sure to get a copy of his book or catch his talk from Cloud Native Munich.

State of AI Observability with OpenLLMetry: The Best is Yet to Come with Nir Gazit
Most AI projects still fail, are too costly, or don't provide the value they hoped to gain. The root cause is nothing new: it's non-optimized models or code that runs the logic behind your AI Apps. The solution is also not new: tuning the system based on insights from Observability!To learn more about the state of AI Observability, we invited back Nir Gazit, CEO and Co-Founder of traceloop, the company behind OpenLLMetry, the open source observability standard that is seeing exponential adoption growth!Tune in and learn how OpenLLMetry became such a successful open source project, which problems it solves, and what we can learn from other AI project implementations that successfully launched their AI Apps and AgentsLinks we discussedNir's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nirga/OpenLLMetry: https://github.com/traceloop/openllmetryTraceloop Hub LLM Gateway: https://www.traceloop.com/docs/hub

Platform Engineering is not just a trend and why Terraform is not dead with Artem Lajko
Did you know that the average salary for a Platform Engineer is 42.5% more than a DevOps engineer? But why is that?We sat down with Artem Lajko, CNCF Kubestronaut and Ambassador as well as Author of the book Implementing GitOps with Kubernetes. We dive into the role of a platform engineer, the common pitfalls in implementing IDPs and why Backstage and AI won't solve all your problems. And we touch upon a topic hot off the press around Terraform: Its not dead!Links we discussedArtem's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lajko/Talk slides from Cloud Land: https://lajko10-my.sharepoint.com/personal/artem_lajko_dev/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx?id=%2Fpersonal%2Fartem%5Flajko%5Fdev%2FDocuments%2FAttachments%2Fcloud%20land%2D2025%5F%2Epdf&parent=%2Fpersonal%2Fartem%5Flajko%5Fdev%2FDocuments%2FAttachments&ga=1State of Platform Engineering Report: https://platformengineering.org/reports/state-of-platform-engineering-vol-3Upjet GitHub Project: https://github.com/crossplane/upjet
The brutal truth about digital performance engineering and operations.Andreas (aka Andi) Grabner and Brian Wilson are veterans of the digital performance world. Combined they have seen too many applications not scaling and performing up to expectations. With more rapid deployment models made possible through continuous delivery and a mentality shift sparked by DevOps they feel it’s time to share their stories. In each episode, they and their guests discuss different topics concerning performance, ranging from common performance problems for specific technology platforms to best practices in development, testing, deploying and monitoring software performance and user experience. Be prepared to learn a lot about metrics.Andi & Brian both work at Dynatrace, where they get to witness more real world customer performance issues than they can TPS report at.
