This session provides practical and proven tips and advice to help you perfect your next presentation. Drawing on real-world experience, we’ll walk through the three critical stages of delivering impactful tech talks:

  1. Planning - Preparing slides that reinforce rather than repeat your message, using language that your audience can connect with, and set yourself up for success before even stepping on stage.
  2. Runtime - Handle the technical and practical aspects of presenting with confidence, troubleshoot common issues, and engage your audience with your story.
  3. Successful deployment - celebrating your success, gathering useful feedback, and improving for the next one.

Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or new to the stage, you’ll walk away with a toolkit of tips and techniques to transform your technical knowledge into a memorable and impactful presentation.

Kube-Oddities - The Quirks That Keep Kubernetes Interesting - Marcus Noble & Márk Sági-Kazár

I’m sure we all agree, Kubernetes is amazing. But sometimes, it’s also… confusing. That’s why Marcus and Márk are here to deliver a brutally honest (and thoroughly entertaining) deep dive into the “Kube-Oddities” - those baffling decisions, peculiar behaviors, and downright WTF moments that make this platform so uniquely interesting.

Let’s ditch the sales pitches and feature announcements. We’re diving down the rabbit hole. We’ll explore the weirdness surrounding sidecars, the baffling behavior of image tags, and the downright confusing default behavior of Pod DNS.

This isn’t a technical lecture, it’s a fun chat among friends, a shared experience of frustration and occasional triumph. Join Marcus and Márk as they unpack the quirks that keep you constantly questioning, and hopefully, leave you with a deeper appreciation (and a slightly more skeptical eye) for the world of Kubernetes. Prepare for laughter, head-scratching, and maybe just a few ‘WTF?’ moments.
