Dive into an unfiltered session with Kelsey Hightower and VMware platform experts as they unpack real-world platform engineering for modern apps, golden paths, Kubernetes-powered platforms, and AI–ready infrastructure. In this webinar, we cover: - How successful teams design platforms as real products by defining golden paths, balancing guardrails with developer freedom, and reducing operational toil. - How to run modern applications on Kubernetes-backed platforms using containers and VMs, integrating opinionated services, and adopting GitOps practices. - How these platform practices extend to securely developing and operating AI workloads, including inferencing use cases. ____________________ Speakers: Kelsey Hightower - Author & Open Source Contributor/Former Distinguished Engineer @ Google Cloud As a curious and motivated self-learner, Kelsey Hightower gained an interest in computing at a young age and started his IT career by opening a small consulting shop 20 years ago. He is especially known for his work with Kubernetes, open-source software, and cloud computing. From those beginnings his career progressed quickly, eventually passing through the halls of Google, Puppet Labs, New Relic, and CoreOS. Hightower is a system administrator by trade, a programmer by necessity, but a problem-solver at heart. He hopes to solve the many problems facing IT culture by equipping people with the mental and computational software they need to succeed in the competitive world of technology.
