 As cloud environments grow, the greatest threat to security is often "Configuration Drift"—untracked, manual changes made directly in the cloud console that bypass security protocols. This workshop provides a hands-on deep dive into the DevSecOps methodology for maintaining infrastructure integrity using Terraform.  Moving beyond basic provisioning, participants will explore how to use Terraform as a governance engine. We will cover the creation of "Secure-by-Default" modules that utilize built-in validation to block insecure configurations—such as open SSH ports—before they are ever deployed. The core of the session focuses on the "Drift-and-Recovery" cycle: students will intentionally simulate "rogue" manual changes in the cloud console and learn how to use Terraform’s state management to detect, alert, and automatically revert infrastructure back to a compliant state. By the end of this workshop, students will understand how Infrastructure as Code acts as the ultimate "Source of Truth," ensuring that company security policies are not just documented, but programmatically enforced.

 AI is increasingly part of DevOps work, even in teams that don’t think of themselves as “doing AI.” Models influence scaling, alerting, cost optimization, and developer workflows, often quietly and without clear ownership.  In this talk, I’ll share real patterns I see when AI enters existing DevOps setups: responsibilities becoming blurred, “trust the model” replacing engineering judgment, costs and energy usage becoming harder to explain, and teams staying accountable for decisions they no longer fully control.  This is a practical talk about what actually breaks when AI meets real-world DevOps —and how teams can adapt without adding more tools, more dashboards, or more process. The focus is on clarity, ownership, and keeping humans meaningfully involved.

 AI rarely introduces new problems in DevOps. Instead, it amplifies the ones that were already there: unclear ownership, fragile automation, hidden costs, and teams stretched too thin.  This talk looks at how AI acts as a stress test for DevOps practices. I’ll show how issues around reliability, accountability, and communication become impossible to ignore once AI-driven tools and workflows are introduced.  Rather than focusing on models or tools, this session is about how teams can use AI as a signal to fix deeper problems — and avoid turning “AI adoption” into another layer of complexity on top of an already fragile system.

 Ever wondered how Traefik manages domain magic in the background? We’ll solve the mystery of having multiple domains in one environment, how it can improve cloud platform migrations, and create a seamless user experience for end-users.  Context: Traefik Proxy as an Ingress Controller in Kubernetes.  Based on a real-world migration experience, this case study will walk you through the process of configuring not one, but three domains with a single IP!  It also improved our overall infrastructure in multiple ways, reducing resources being only one of them.  Curious about another scenario?  Find out how two domains can happily live together in a cluster, but be completely independent, each having their separate IP and microservices.  This session is perfect for anyone curious to dive into Traefik’s capabilities and discover different uses of multi-domain setups.

 Cloudy with a Chance of Dynamic Pricing: Building a Weather Driven IoT System with Raspberry Pi What if the weather could change your prices in real time?  In this session, we connect a Raspberry Pi to a live Weather API and turn temperature, rain and sunlight into dynamic pricing logic. You will see how a small IoT device can fetch external data, process it locally, and display a price that shifts with the forecast.  We walk through the full flow: integrating the API, handling data securely, designing simple pricing rules, and displaying the result on a physical interface. Along the way, we explore DevOps practices for IoT projects, including automation, environment management and secure configuration.  This talk brings together cloud services, edge devices and real world logic in a practical demo that shows how weather data can drive business decisions in real time.

 DevOps engineers operate in high responsibility environments where uptime, security and delivery speed meet constant change. Sustainable performance begins with a resilient nervous system.  In this interactive session, Raluca Mihu introduces practical mental health tools designed for engineers. Together, we will practise guided breathing techniques to regulate stress, short mindfulness exercises to sharpen focus, and EFT tapping to release tension before it escalates. Each method is simple, evidence informed and easy to integrate into a busy workday.  This session offers more than awareness. It offers direct experience. You will leave with concrete tools that support clarity during incidents, steadiness during pressure and long term energy for meaningful work. DevOps culture thrives on continuous improvement, and that includes the human system behind the keyboard.

 Impostor syndrome is usually framed as a personal failing: a lack of confidence, a mindset problem, something you need to “work through.” But what if the problem isn't you?  You’re not inexperienced. You’re not lazy. You're not bad at your job. I realized something else was going on: no one’s real experience matches the cloud-native story we tell in public.  In the cloud-native world, operators and admins are surrounded by a constant narrative of effortless success: platforms that scale cleanly, teams that “just adopt Kubernetes,” architectures that assume infinite time, talent, and budget. Conference talks are polished. Case studies are sanitized. Failure is implied to be a 'you' problem.  Yet privately, most practitioners are struggling. Technology is complex. Platforms and systems are brittle. Toolchains are overwhelming. Upgrades are painful projects. On-call is exhausting. And almost no one’s lived experience matches what the industry claims is normal.  This talk argues that what we’re experiencing isn’t just impostor syndrome — it’s pluralistic ignorance amplified by burnout. Everyone is struggling to keep up, but no one admits it, because admitting it feels like failure. So we stay quiet. We internalize the gap. We blame ourselves. We work harder and harder, up to, and beyond our breaking point.  At Cloud Native Rejekts, I want to say the quiet part out loud and break that silence together.  This talk is for operators who keep real systems running, who are tired of pretending and who want honesty instead of hype. We’ll examine how hype amplifies self-doubt, why feeling “behind” is often a sign of realism, and how collective honesty—not more expertise—is the missing ingredient in the cloud-native ecosystem.  If you’ve ever thought “everyone else seems to have this figured out” — this talk is for you.
