From Kubernetes to Photons & A Maze of Twisty Little Passages

From orchestrating multi-agent AI on Kubernetes to navigating real-world IT governance: two talks, experienced speakers, and plenty of networking opportunity. We are very much looking forward to the next DevOps Meetup Zurich. Here's what's planned for the evening: 17:30 - 18:00 - Arrival and first drinks 18:00 - 18:45 - From Kubernetes to Photons: Orchestrating Multi-Agent AI for Entertainment by Clément Raussin & Benjamin Calvet 18:45 - 19:30 - You Are In A Maze of Twisty Little Passages, All Alike by Ann Harding 19:30 - 20:30 - Networking, Open Space & More drinks\ From Kubernetes to Photons: Orchestrating Multi-Agent AI for Entertainment Multi-agent architectures usher in a new era: instead of a single monolithic AI model, we deploy a set of specialized agents that collaborate, each mastering a specific task, to form a globally more robust and scalable system. But how can we leverage Kubernetes orchestration to create the future of distributed AI? Inter-agent communication (sync, event, async), new orchestration patterns, and service exposure (RAG, MCP) are the new challenges. This session explores the similarities and differences between cloud-native orchestration patterns and those required for deploying AI agents. As crazy developers who love great music and entertainment, we created a case study to demonstrate how distributed AI on Kubernetes can create immersive ambiances by controlling sound and lighting effects. This hands-on demonstration will show how to reconcile Kubernetes and distributed AI back into the physical world, bridging cloud-native orchestration with immersive hardware-driven experiences. Clément Raussin Head of Cloud & DevOps @ Qim info / Founder of Photon Clément has been passionate about development since he was very young, with over eight years of deep involvement in the cloud-native ecosystem. After applying his expertise at the highest levels of the French government, he joined Qim info as Head of Cloud & DevOps in Switzerland, where
