From Novice to Pro: Mastering Lightweight Linux for Your Kubernetes Project

Alpine, Flatcar, Fedora CoreOS, Talos, and Ubuntu Core are carving out strong niches as Kubernetes-first base OSes. Each leans into immutability, container-native design, and just enough system overhead to get out of the way. That lean profile isn’t just a flex—it means lower resource drag and a de.. read more

An introduction to platform engineering

Platform engineering is stepping in where DevOps didn’t quite land. Think fewer duct-taped pipelines, more thoughtful systems. The fix? Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs), usually riding on Kubernetes, built to tame the sprawl. Gartner says 80% of big engineering orgs will run platform teams by 20.. read more

The architecture of AI is different from all of the computing that came before it

AI is breaking open source out of its old habits. Compute-heavy models now demand GPU-first stacks, leaner infrastructure, and fresh rules for how we build and scale. Jonathan Bryce points out: scalability and reliability still matter—but AI’s deployment needs throw the old architecture playbook ou.. read more

CNCF Incubates OpenYurt for Kubernetes at the Edge

OpenYurt just leveled up—now officially an incubating project under the CNCF. It pushes Kubernetes out past the data center, into the messy edges of the network, without breaking upstream compatibility. No forks, no duct tape. The maintainer roster’s growing too. Folks fromVMware,Microsoft, andInte.. read more

Knowledge base VIP LOAD BALANCER
DevOpsDayLA is Southern California's premier conference focused on the human side of technology delivery. For 15 years, we've brought together SoCal practitioners who understand that great software isn't just about tools, it's about people working together effectively.

The 2026 Lens: DevOps in an AI World: You're working in a world where AI is everywhere, embedded in your tools, requested by your management, and reshaping how teams deliver software. Whether you're embracing these changes or navigating the challenges they create, your experience matters.

We're looking for stories about how you and your organizations are adapting your mindsets, processes, and team dynamics in this rapidly evolving landscape. How did your team integrate AI into existing workflows? What changed about collaboration when AI entered the picture? Where do humans remain critical in automated processes? How do you build the next generation of engineers when entry-level work is automated? What are the real implementation challenges you're facing in Southern California's entertainment, gaming, aerospace, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing companies?

What makes DevOpsDayLA different: We focus on culture, collaboration, and cross-industry implementation stories rather than pure technical deep-dives. We're all about the people and processes that make technology successful in an AI world, not the technology itself.

We especially welcome new speakers, under-represented voices, and fresh perspectives from across SoCal's diverse tech landscape.
