Berlin DevOps # 53

Join us for the Berlin DevOps Summer Meetup: our last edition before the summer break! We're excited to be hosted by Parloa for an evening of interesting talks, discussions, and networking. There will be food and drinks provided, and plenty of time to connect with fellow DevOps enthusiasts. 📌 Please register at least 24 hours before the event. We need to share the attendee list with the Parloa office in advance, and spots are limited. -----------------------------------------------------Agenda18:30 Open Doors, Networking with Food and Drinks19:00 Welcome words by Parloa and BLN DevOps team19:25 Running K8s with AI: Automating the SRE Lifecycle with Grafana MCP and GitLab19:50 The Pipeline Was Green — AI Agents and CI Trust20:15 Short Break20:30 Managing Uninvited Guests: Securing Open Source Dependencies20:55 Networking21:30 Closing ➡️ Interested in hosting an event?

This talk walks through a practical demo of automating the full SRE lifecycle: from incident investigation to deployment validation, using Grafana MCP and the GitLab Agent Platform, and where humans still need to stay in the loop. Serhii VasylenkoThe Pipeline Was Green — AI Agents and CI TrustWe’ve spent years building CI/CD pipelines that tell us when code is "technically correct," but are they capable of telling an autonomous AI agent if a change is safe to apply? This talk explores a real-world incident where an AI-powered automation -- pairing Renovate with Claude Code -- successfully executed a "green" pipeline that broke a critical QA cluster for three days, how the team reacted, and how we evolved our vision toward the future of human-agentic collaboration with code. Frithjof HoffmannManaging Uninvited Guests: Securing Open Source DependenciesOpen source software is the ultimate neighborhood party, but what happens when an uninvited guest slips through the door? This talk digs into the messy reality of dependency hell and its role in software supply chain security: from typosquatting attacks to maintainer account takeovers, and the abandoned projects with known CVEs quietly living in your codebase rent-free.
