Agenda

Git, Grub & Good Vibes	Unwind, fuel up, and make new connections before we dive into the code. Drinks are cold, snacks are hot, and the conversations are just getting started.
What's new in Argo CD 3.0?	Big news for Argo CD users - the new major release, for the first time since 2021! In this session, you'll get an overview of this release's WHY, WHAT and HOW: the incentive behind the release, the features that are going to simplify your GitOps journey, and how to easily upgrade from previous versions. Speaker: - Regina Voloshin, OSS Tech Lead at Octopus Deploy, Argo CD Maintainer, and CNCF Ambassador.
Zero-Downtime Dreams: Navigating Argo CD for Mission-Critical Deployments	Deploying mission-critical applications demands meticulous care, especially when seconds of downtime significantly impact the economy. At the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, we adopted Argo CD for critical production deployments. But is Argo CD truly production-ready? What are its strengths and limitations? In this session, we share our journey from initial exploration to full-scale production adoption. We'll cover Argo CD's key benefits, such as declarative configurations, enhanced auditability, and seamless rollbacks, alongside challenges like security management and minimizing downtime. We'll also highlight the innovative solution developed by our DevOps team, detailing how it improved reliability, transparency, and agility. Join us for practical insights and strategic solutions from our experience leveraging Argo CD within Israel's critical financial infrastructure. Speakers: - Efraim Glatt. Head of DevOps at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. It has been my privilege to build the entire DevOps system from scratch in our company. I am a huge fan of CNCF and have a deep curiosity about all the incredible projects they are involved in. Apart from leading the DevOps team, I also take charge of the technology aspects related to digital assets, blockchain, and crypto at our organization. - Eldad Ambar, Senior DevOps Engineer at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, leads the GitOps implementation using Argo CD across multiple OpenShift environments, building and maintaining automated, reliable CI/CD processes for mission-critical applications.
ApplicationSet Generators & Organizational Patterns: More Than Just YAML	This talk explores how Argo CD ApplicationSet generators align with organizational patterns, enabling scalable, structured delivery in complex environments. Learn how architecture, process, and GitOps converge in real-world release engineering. Speaker: - Tal Hason is a Senior Software Engineer and Release Engineering Lead at Red Hat, specializing in GitOps, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation for OpenShift Virtualization.
