Testing in the Age of AI and Cloud\-Native** with Dmitry Fonarev of Testkube Cloud-native development and AI-generated code make continuous testing both harder and more critical, with challenges such as inconsistent results, scattered observability, unclear release quality gates, infrastructure validation, and testing pipelines becoming a bottleneck as AI produces more code and tests. What lies ahead - autonomous AI testing agents, from locally invoked today to collaborating teams managed by dedicated platforms, and how responsibilities will shift between QA and platform engineering. **2\. Platform agents** with Sameera Jayasoma from WSO2 Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) have revolutionized developer self-service, but managing infrastructure, troubleshooting deployment failures, and navigating complex cloud-native architectures still introduce significant cognitive load. In this talk, Sameera Jayasoma explores how AI-driven **Platform Agents** are shifting platform engineering from static portals to dynamic, context-aware digital platform assistants. **3.** **K8s updates** The PM team behind GKE have organized talk topics to keep you up to date with the latest updates to K8s. **About our sponsors** F5 is sponsoring this time around! Thanks F5!! **Hybrid/Remote option** Sorry, this event is in-person only, so please join us in Ca
