✨ Speaker : Manikandan Krishnamuthy | Welcome note & About Cloud Native Chennai, #cTENcf

✨ Speaker : Madhan Raj J | Description : Harness the power of cloud-native to drive enterprise agility, resilience, and innovation at scale. Discover how cloud-native architectures are transforming the way enterprises build, deploy, and scale applications. This talk explores key principles, real-world adoption strategies, and best practices that enable organizations to achieve agility, resilience, and faster innovation—while maximizing business value from the cloud.

✨ Speaker : Sharmistha Chatterjee | Description : The objective of this talk to to step into the future of AI with this session on Agentic AI and Google's Vertex AI Agent Engine. We’ll introduce the concept of agentic AI—AI systems capable of planning, reasoning, and acting autonomously—and how they differ from traditional AI models. Learn how Vertex AI Agent Engine empowers developers to build, deploy, and orchestrate intelligent agents that can interact with users, data, and tools in real time. Through real-world examples and examples from Gemini, with different types of prompt engineering watch out for powerful new use cases in automation, customer experience, and enterprise operations. Perfect for developers, data scientists, and tech enthusiasts looking to explore the next frontier in AI innovation.

✨ Speaker : Ram Iyengar | Description : In this talk we will explore the ideas around platforms in an AI-first world. We will see how Gen AI, MCP, and Agentic AI can impact cloud platforms. We will discuss the relevance of tools like Internal Developer Platforms with the rise of AI in the workplace. Finally we will also talk about how to apply platform engineering principles to AI workloads. The struggles of setting up AI in production, local and staging development, and the hassles of prompt engineering in the enterprise. We will do this with a focus on open source tech and CNCF projects in the space.
