the platform engineer is dead, long live the platform engineer
LIMITED

Limited Capacity seats available
It started as a "let's see how far this goes." It didn't stop where I expected.
This is the story of how I rebuilt my homelab — from vSphere 7 to vSphere 9.1 with VKS — on a single 4-CPU, 64GB Supermicro box, almost entirely with the help of Claude Code. From bare metal to a cloud-native platform running FluxCD, Concourse CI, HashiCorp Vault, cert-manager, platform pipelines: built, deployed, and maintained with AI as a hands-on collaborator, not just an autocomplete.
A live look at what changes when AI moves from "helping you write code" to "helping you run infrastructure" — and a starting point for the conversation about where that leaves platform engineers.

Eight months to move the brain of an airport. No downtime.
Thursday September 24, 2026 15:35 - 15:55 CEST
Imagine being one of Europe's busiest airports, IT being the foundation of your day to day operations.
That makes high availability and business continuity a key principle of every system you implement, everything you do actually.
Now imagine getting a call from the commercial datacenter that provides you with that crucial availability.
"We sold the place, you are to vacate in eight months"

Not only did the airport need to procure and fit out a datacenter, they also needed to move all systems, while keeping the lights on.
Our Everpure storage arrays were one of the pillars of the environment, so they needed to keep running while we moved.
Let's talk about some of the challenges we faced and how we used the Everpure toolkit to address those.

How a PoC becomes production and the scaling pitfalls of a PoC
Thursday September 24, 2026 15:35 - 15:55 CEST
Building an AI proof of concept today is surprisingly easy. With the right tools and platforms, you can get something working in no time.

But turning that PoC into a production system is where the real work begins.

Suddenly, it’s about privacy, scalability, reliability, cost, and automation. Tools that worked fine in a prototype start to show their limits.

In this talk, I’ll walk through what to consider in that transition based on a ‘how-not-to’ and how to move from a quick demo to a robust, scalable AI solution.

Cloud-native Virtualization
Thursday September 24, 2026 15:35 - 16:20 CEST
I want to talk about the differences between traditional (VMware) and cloud-native (Kubevirt) virtualization. In doing so, I want to show the WoW, the skills, the use case, and possibly the actual implementation. I especially want to give our VMware people a behind-the-scenes look, as this is often still a blind spot.

This is not a session to convince people of KubeVirt, but primarily to show how cool it is in a Cloud-Native environment.

Faster PoC to production: introducing the ITQ AI Use Case Factory
Thursday September 24, 2026 16:00 - 16:20 CEST
Internally or at customers, we hit the same wall while developing or vibecoding apps with AI components: assembling model serving, MCP and Agent gateways, retrieval, guardrails — months of platform work while AI itself moves weekly.
The ITQ AI Use Case Factory is our out-of-the-box solution that clears that wall once, enabling developers to ship apps with Private AI features in a day, not a quarter.

Maxime opens the hood for an honest tour: what’s inside, what we dropped, and what we’d build differently.

Empowering VMware HCX OS Assisted Migration (OSAM)
Thursday September 24, 2026 16:25 - 16:45 CEST
Discover how VMware HCX OS Assisted Migration (OSAM) can simplify and accelerate workload migrations into a modern VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment.

In this session, we will share a real-world customer experience migrating Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines hosting Oracle Databases into a new VMware Cloud Foundation Workload Domain using VMware HCX OSAM at SFIL.

Through this field-driven use case, we will cover:

Key architecture and design considerations for HCX
Migration workflow, challenges encountered, and lessons learned
Operational impacts, downtime expectations, and validation steps
Best practices and recommendations for future VCF migration projects

This session is aimed at VMware architects, consultants, and looking for practical guidance and real operational feedback on leveraging HCX OSAM in enterprise migration scenarios involving business-critical workloads.
