meshcloud Con '26

Thank you to everyone who made meshcloud Con ’26 such a special experience! Seeing so many new connections, thoughtful conversations, and shared insights come to life over these days was truly inspiring.

A special thank you to our speakers from EDEKA IT, Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund, Markant, Bechtle, RheinEnergie, Denkmit, microfin, Liquid Reply, cc cloud – your insights sparked meaningful conversations and made the event truly memorable.

We’re also grateful to Enclaive, STACKIT, Computacenter and AWS for their support in making meshcloud Con ’26 possible!

Autonomous agents break traditional platform engineering by generating their own logic and thriving on unpredictable workloads. While Kubernetes remains the baseline, supporting these AI agents requires a completely new infrastructure blueprint. This session explores the technical pillars of an agentic runtime, from kernel-level sandboxing to cognitive memory fabrics and fractional GPU scheduling. Discover why static RBAC must give way to Intent-Based Access Control (IBAC) to secure the "Somehow" Era.

How do you scale when your organization triples in size and accelerates its cloud migration without growing the platform team? This session explores how EDEKA IT evolved from manual ticketing bottlenecks to a decentralized self-service platform model. What started as an effort to improve cloud access grew into a foundation that enabled other expert teams to provide their own services through the same platform. Join Mick and Markus to learn how EDEKA IT is balancing developer autonomy, governance, and scale across a growing organization.

Financial services, healthcare, and public sector organizations need AI and cloud platforms but regulations often prevent them from processing sensitive data in the public cloud. In this session, Robert will show how meshStack and enclaive combine platform engineering with confidential computing to solve this dilemma. See how development teams provision secure cloud environments through self-service, while Trusted Execution Environments protect data in use without requiring application changes. Learn how platform teams automate governance and enable sovereign cloud adoption without sacrificing the agility of hyperscalers.

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud promises operational isolation and strict data residency without sacrificing public cloud agility. But how do platform teams make sovereign infrastructure frictionless for engineering teams? In this interactive workshop, you'll walk through the practical mechanics of landing zones, identity isolation, and governance for sovereign AWS environments. Learn how to build automated guardrails that satisfy strict EU compliance standards while keeping cognitive load low and developer velocity high.

Standardizing Kubernetes infrastructure across enterprise teams shouldn't lead to IaC ticket backlogs or snowflake configurations. In this practical, hands-on workshop, the meshcloud team will show you how to transform raw STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE) infrastructure into a full-fledged Internal Developer Platform. Learn how to bundle essential building blocks like namespaces, RBAC, CI/CD pipelines, and landing zones into reusable, one-click Golden Paths.Walk away with proven reference architectures and actionable tools to give your application teams self-service sovereign K8s without sacrificing platform control.
