Agenda

4:30 PM	Doors open
5:00 PM	[EN] Intro - Zdeněk Váňa
5:10 PM	[EN] Panel discussion - Driving Innovation & Optimizing Cloud Investments	Cloud-native isn’t just about moving to the cloud—it’s about leveraging microservices, serverless, and containerization to build more scalable, resilient, and agile applications. But does it always make sense? This discussion will explore real-world use cases, the pros and cons of cloud-native adoption, and how to decide whether to build in-house solutions or rely on SaaS and managed services. Cloud expenses can spiral out of control if not properly managed. How do companies track and optimize cloud spend across multiple providers? When does multicloud make sense, and when is it just unnecessary complexity? Our panelists will share strategies for FinOps, cost control, and performance optimization to ensure you’re getting the most out of your cloud investments. Key discussion points: 1) Cloud-native architectures: When to go all-in and when to take a hybrid approach. 2) Build vs. buy: Should you develop in-house solutions or adopt existing cloud services? 3) Cost control strategies: How to prevent cloud bills from skyrocketing. 4) The reality of multicloud: Smart strategy or operational nightmare?
6:00 PM	Coffee Break
6:10 PM	[EN] Panel discussion - Finding the Right Balance & Avoiding Cloud Sprawl	Cloud gives businesses unparalleled agility, but too much flexibility can lead to governance and security nightmares. How do companies strike the right balance between developer autonomy and centralized control? What best practices can ensure compliance and security without slowing down innovation? The more cloud services a company adopts, the harder it is to manage and keep track of them. Cloud sprawl can lead to wasted resources, shadow IT, and inefficiencies. This discussion will focus on strategies to maintain visibility, improve developer workflows, and accelerate software delivery while keeping cloud complexity in check. Key discussion points: 1) Flexibility vs. governance: How much control is too much? 2) Security & compliance in cloud: Managing risk without slowing down innovation. 3) Avoiding cloud sprawl: How to prevent unnecessary services and keep costs in check. 4) Maximizing developer productivity: Cloud tools and best practices for fast, efficient software delivery.
