===== Talks =====

Le GitOps ré-inventé : Corrigez la dérive d’état avant qu’elle ne se produise

Speaker:

• Damien Dassieu (Scaleway) Je suis un contributeur actif aux projets Kubernetes (Kubebuilder, controller-runtime, ...). Avec une expérience particulière dans le domaine du Platform Engineering acquise chez Orange et Scaleway dans les équipe Kubernetes as a Service, j’ai un rôle crucial en tant que développeur Go pour permettre la réalisation des idées de chacun. Je contribue actuellement au développement de Syngit, un outil qui comble la séparation entre les principes de GitOps et l’utilisation des outils impératifs pour la gestion de l'infrastructure.

Description:

Le GitOps est devenu une pratique fondamentale dans les environnements Kubernetes, offrant une approche déclarative et contrôlée par version de la gestion de l'infrastructure et des applications. Pourtant, les interactions concrètes avec les clusters reposent souvent sur des outils impératifs tels que kubectl, oc ou des interfaces web qui fournissent un retour utilisateur plus rapides et une expérience plus intuitive.

Ces outils impératifs valident et envoient des requêtes directement au serveur API de Kubernetes sans prendre en compte Git, ce qui casse le paradigme GitOps. Les conséquences sont le manque de visibilité, de reproductibilité et d'auditabilité.

Quelle est la pièce manquante pour allier ClickOps et GitOps ? Cette présentation introduit une nouvelle façon d’utiliser les outils impératifs en utilisant le GitOps. Ce mécanisme repose sur l’interception des requêtes vers l'API Kubernetes et en les transformant en commits Git. Nous explorerons comment Syngit s'intègre de manière transparente avec des outils GitOps tels que ArgoCD ou FluxCD pour préserver Git comme source de vérité même lorsque les utilisateurs interagissent avec les clusters de manière impérative.

---------

L’adoption massive de l’IA par les chercheurs de l’Institut Pasteur grâce à Kubernetes

Speakers:

• Stéphane Fournier (Institut Pasteur) Directeur des Systèmes d'Information à l'Institut Pasteur depuis 2018, Stéphane Fournier impulse la transformation numérique de la recherche biomédicale. Il a initié divers développements en IA en collaboration avec des équipes scientifiques expertes. Récemment, c'est la plateforme AI Tools qui concrétise cette approche. Basée sur une architecture hexagonale modulaire, elle permet le déploiement d'outils utilisant largement des LLMs publics, ou on-premise lorsque la souveraineté des données est en jeu.
• Jean-Baptiste Masson (Institut Pasteur) Physicien théoricien, Jean-Baptiste Masson est responsable de l’équipe Decision and Bayesian Computation (DBC-Épiméthée) à l’Institut Pasteur, une unité mixte Pasteur-Inria-CNRS-UPC. Ses recherches portent sur les principes physiques et computationnels qui organisent le traitement de l’information biologique, en lien avec l’environnement sensoriel. Elles couvrent notamment la chimiotaxie bactérienne, les stratégies de recherche olfactive chez les insectes et l’organisation des circuits neuronaux. Il mène également des travaux appliqués en algorithmique médicale (neuroAI), avec un fort accent sur des technologies déployables à l’hôpital, en particulier en imagerie médicale (DIVA et Genuage) et en analyse de données cliniques.
• Alexandre Buisine (Enix) Avec 15 ans d'expérience dans la technique et le management, il est un passionné d’open-source et de ce qui touche aux conteneurs. Il rejoint l'équipe Enix en 2018 comme directeur général, tout en restant impliqué dans les technos d’infrastructures réseaux et systèmes. Avant Enix, Alexandre a travaillé 3 ans au développement d’un service de réalité virtuelle. Il a également été CTO puis dirigeant de SmartJog, dans les domaines de l'audio-visuel, la transmission satellite, le développement logiciel, les réseaux IP, la distribution de contenus sur Internet.

Description:

L'Institut Pasteur a déployé un écosystème d**'IA générative** pour ses 2 500 chercheurs, orchestré sur Kubernetes avec trois environnements (dev, prod, GPU) et une chaîne CI/CD GitLab.

L’architecture repose sur deux proxies LiteLLM (cloud et on-premise) unifiant l’accès aux modèles (Mistral, Anthropic, OpenAI côté cloud ; Perplexity, Qwen, Llama côté on-premise), et assurant le suivi des coûts par token et le load balancing.

Cette couche d'abstraction alimente trois catégories de services : LibreChat pour le dialogue généraliste enrichi de serveurs MCP, AI Tools pour les usages métiers spécialisés (analyse de publications scientifiques), et des assistants de codage 100% on-premise (Qwen-Coder, Roo-Coder) intégrés aux IDE.

Kubernetes nous permet de remplacer un modèle open source en quelques minutes et d'ajuster dynamiquement le scaling à la charge.

Les défis techniques incluent la gestion de GPU hétérogènes dans un cluster Talos sécurisé, la compatibilité entre anciens matériels et systèmes DGX B200 NVIDIA, et les migration Kubernetes à chaud sans downtime.

Entre besoins métier et décisions d'architecture, nous retracerons le parcours complet : du prototype développé par un chercheur jusqu'au déploiement en production, en expliquant le rôle des échanges entre scientifiques et équipe infrastructure dans cette plateforme cloud-native.

Enfin, nous partagerons les coulisses opérationnelles : architecture, gestion du GPU Operator, stratégies de scaling, et surtout les leçons tirées de nos 6 mois d'exploitation en production.

===== Consentement à la photographie/vidéo =====

Nous pourrons prendre des photos et vidéos lors de l'événement et les utiliser sur les réseaux sociaux et dans des supports promotionnels. Participer au meetup implique que vous consentez à ce que nous prenions des photos et vidéos de vous.

The Deepfake Problem: Real Attacks & Real Risk

For this month’s Berlin Cybersecurity Social, Jonny Smyth (CTO @ Ceartas) walks us through what’s changing in the deepfake landscape, why the technology has become so accessible, and what this could mean for security, trust, and day-to-day operations.

Time: 19:00 - 22:00

Location: Artzzz Studio - Kunstgalerie Berlin

Get your free ticket here: Ticket for event (20 tickets available)

Ever wondered how TED speakers, conference presenters, or meetup hosts got so good at explaining complex topics?

3 words: practice, practice, practice.

Ideally, in front of people who provide specific feedback on what worked well - and what didn’t.

Especially for students and young professionals those opportunities may be rare.

I want to create a safe space for people who would like to practice and improve their presentation skills. Who would like to learn to convey complex ideas in a simple way. Who not just aim to talk and inform, but who strive to inspire and motivate.

At The Dry Run you can expect:

• 3 speakers testing their presentations for the very first time in front of a live audience - so be prepared for the imperfection!
• 3 Running Buddies: experts in presentation and public speaking - they will provide constructive feedback to the speakers after their presentations (not in front of the audience)
• Networking: connect with like-minded people and build a supportive network in a cozy environment
• Exceptional cocktails - with or without alcohol (available for purchase separately)

Attendance is free!

CountGD: Multi-Modal Open-World Counting

We propose CountGD, the first open-world counting model that can count any object specified by text only, visual examples only, or both together. CountGD extends the Grounding DINO architecture and adds components to enable specifying the object with visual examples. This new capability – being able to specify the target object by multi-modalites (text and exemplars) – lead to an improvement in counting accuracy. CountGD is powering multiple products and has been applied to problems across different domains including counting large populations of penguins to monitor the influence of climate change, counting buildings from satellite images, and counting seals for conservation.

About the Speaker

Niki Amini-Naieni is a DPhil student focusing on developing foundation model capabilities for visual understanding of the open world at the Visual Geometry Group (VGG), Oxford supervised by Andrew Zisserman. In the past, Niki has consulted with Amazon and other companies in robotics and computer vision, interned at SpaceX, and studied computer science and engineering at Cornell.

GorillaWatch: Advancing Gorilla Re-Identification and Population Monitoring with AI

CountGD: Multi-Modal Open-World Counting

We propose CountGD, the first open-world counting model that can count any object specified by text only, visual examples only, or both together. CountGD extends the Grounding DINO architecture and adds components to enable specifying the object with visual examples. This new capability – being able to specify the target object by multi-modalites (text and exemplars) – lead to an improvement in counting accuracy. CountGD is powering multiple products and has been applied to problems across different domains including counting large populations of penguins to monitor the influence of climate change, counting buildings from satellite images, and counting seals for conservation.

This Gets Under Your Skin – The Art of Skin Type Classification

Skin analysis is deceptively hard: inconsistent portrait quality, lighting variations, and the presence of sunscreen or makeup often obscure what’s truly “under the skin.” In this talk, I’ll share how we built an AI pipeline for skin type classification that tackles these real-world challenges with a combination of vision models. The architecture includes image quality control, facial segmentation, and a final classifier trained on curated dermatological features.

Saving Time and CO₂ - Using a Design System and Collaboration between Designers and Devs - Anton Borries

At the start of 2024, we set out to create a Design System for our company. We decided early on to let our Design Team drive decisions about structure and components, while our tech teams adapted their setups to support this approach.

This led to the creation of Harmonized, a design system now powering 8 (and counting) projects across our company.

In this talk, we’ll share: - Getting C-level and stakeholder buy in to tokenize & componetize. - Our custom pipeline from Figma to Flutter. - How we enhanced collaboration between Design and Development. - The story of migrating an app to an entirely new visual style behind a feature flag. - How we dramatically improved our delivery speed — adding Dark Mode\, in less than a week.
