Title: The Universal Control Plane - Managing GCP Resources (and More) with Crossplane

Speaker: Ralf Weber

Description: While many are familiar with Terraform for managing infrastructure as code, Crossplane is an alternative offering a seamless Kubernetes-native experience - eliminating context-switching and the need to learn a new language. In this talk, we'll explore how Crossplane enhances visibility into your cloud resources, tackles configuration drift, and enables opinionated developer self-service while offering a great developer experience (DX).

Title: Haunted Browsers, AI Cinema: Directing Your Story with Gemini CLI

Speaker: Riccardo Carlesso, Google

Description: In this session, we'll reveal the Gemini CLI as two revolutionary tools in one. First, we'll demo the "Haunted Browser": a web developer's dream. See how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) connects the LLM to Playwright, automating tedious web tasks like clicking buttons, logging in, and navigating sites—a true "new age curl". Then, for something completely different, we'll unveil the "AI Cinema": a creator's studio. Watch as we use the CLI to direct and generate entire, multi-step video storylines from a single prompt. 🤖 Two powerful demos, one tool, and we'll show how we can automate in the cloud with GitHub Actions.
