KubeCon EU 2026 - From Hallucinations to Hardware: Diagnosing LLM Failures

I'm excited to share that I'll be co-presenting with my good friend Ryan Peirce at Cloud Native AI & Kubeflow Day! One of our favorite live demo sessions has been accepted and we'll both be in Amsterdam at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026.

In case you were still unaware, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon is the flagship conference of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), gathering adopters and technologists from leading open source and cloud native communities. The event brings together the entire cloud native ecosystem for education, collaboration, and networking opportunities.

Every year this event features multiple co-located events, and we're excited to be presenting at Cloud Native AI & Kubeflow Day, which focuses on the intersection of cloud native technologies and artificial intelligence workloads.

Below are all the details of our session at the time of this writing.

DevOpsCon Amsterdam 2026: It’s my docs, and I will cry if I want to!

My last DevOpsCon event was in Munich, so when I saw they were expanding and visiting my home country in Amsterdam, Netherlands I could not resist. I submitted a few things and the one that was selected is a talk I'm going to be testing based on my experiences over the last year as a maintainer on the Fluent Bit CNCF project.

I will be on-site at the Van der Valk Hotel Amsterdam-Amstel for DevOpsCon Amsterdam from 20-24 April 2026. They will have networking, sessions, and hands-on workshops available for all who attend.

Below you'll find my talk details and the schedule.
