A half‑day of learning, networking, and practical discussion focused on the foundations that matter most in today’s cloud‑first world.
Join the HashiCorp and IBM team and guest speakers to explore why digital sovereignty matters, how organisations can infuse intelligence into business processes and IT operations, and why doing Cloud right is essential to doing AI right.
Through real‑world examples and expert perspectives, you’ll learn how to make every technology investment count from managing risk, compliance, and control, to using automation as the backbone for scalable innovation.
You’ll leave with practical insights, clear takeaways, and trusted connections to help your organisation move faster, operate more securely, and build cloud foundations ready for AI.
Our event brings together IT leaders, practitioners, and industry experts to explore how modern organisations can regain control, confidence, and clarity in increasingly complex cloud environments.
You’ll hear from guest speakers and a keynote delivered by HashiCorp and IBM experts, sharing real‑world perspectives on how leading organisations approach cloud security, digital sovereignty, and automation at scale not as isolated initiatives, but as connected building blocks for long‑term success.
On the agenda are also technical sessions that dive deeper into today’s most pressing challenges: securing AI‑driven applications and agents, and establishing effective cost control across cloud environments. Both sessions highlight how automation, standardised processes, and policy‑driven controls help organisations reduce risk, keep costs transparent, and maintain governance without slowing innovation.
Throughout the day, you’ll see how automation acts as the common thread connecting security, compliance, AI, and cost control and why strong cloud foundations are essential to scale intelligence across IT operations and business processes.
Expect practical insights, honest lessons learned, and open discussion with peers facing similar challenges. You’ll leave with clear takeaways and proven approaches to build secure, efficient, and automation‑ready cloud environments that are prepared for what comes next.
Agentic AI is reshaping how enterprises operate by introducing autonomous agents that act on behalf of users, inherit delegated privileges instantly, and provision access in real time at machine speed. Yet most organisations still rely on human-centric IAM models and static secrets, creating a critical new security gap.
Join industry peers at this thought leadership event as we explore how agentic AI, non-human identities, IAM gaps, and runtime security risks are reshaping real-world deployments. Gain practical insights into securing the agentic runtime and aligning identity, access, and governance models to safely scale AI-driven initiatives.
Building digital health services for the public sector leaves little room for improvisation. Security failures do not stay technical; they erode trust. During a major innovation project around Switzerland’s Electronic Patient Record, Swiss Post Digital Health faced exactly this tension: move fast, stay compliant, and protect highly sensitive data across many teams and environments.
This talk tells the story of how a dedicated platform team emerged as the answer. At its core sits a centralised secrets management platform based on HashiCorp Vault, designed not as a standalone tool but as an enabling layer for DevOps teams. By enforcing clear ownership, consistent policies, and standardised workflows across production and non-production environments, the platform team reduced risk while preserving team autonomy.
Pascal Rudnik shares practical insights into the architectural choices, governance model, and leadership decisions behind this setup. The session focuses on what worked, what did not, and why standardisation and automation turned security and compliance from a bottleneck into a capability. Attendees will leave with ideas on how platform teams can create secure foundations that scale, without slowing innovation.

Discover how organizations can accelerate platform delivery through a scalable self-service approach powered by Terraform Enterprise. This case study implemented and presented by Liebherr IT Services and FULLSTACKS highlights how standardization, automation, and centralized governance enable teams to provision infrastructure faster, reduce operational overhead, and improve developer productivity — ultimately driving faster time-to-market and measurable business value. Drawing on lessons learned from navigating a highly complex enterprise environment, the presentation demonstrates how platform engineering can turn complexity into a scalable and efficient operating model.
Speakers: Manuel Rahm, DevOps and Platform Engineer, Liebherr and Patrick Martins, Senior DevOps and SRE Engineer, FULLSTACKS
As AI agents and non‑human workloads become more autonomous, organisations must answer a foundational question: who is my agent, and can I trust it? Traditional identity models were designed for humans, not for ephemeral, machine‑driven actors operating across dynamic cloud environments.
In this session, we explore how verifiable workload identity for AI agents can be designed, deployed, and governed at enterprise scale using HashiCorp Vault and Red Hat OpenShift.
Through a demonstration and technical deep dive, you’ll see how AI agents can be securely created, run, and authenticated using workload identity principles, enabling strong identity boundaries, least‑privilege access, and auditable interactions without relying on static secrets or shared credentials. The session will show how Vault integrates with OpenShift to issue trusted identities, manage secrets and tokens dynamically, and enforce policy‑driven access for agents operating in hybrid and multi‑cloud environments.
Attendees will gain practical insights into building secure, scalable, and verifiable identities for agents, supporting compliance, operational resilience, and AI‑ready cloud foundations.
This session is ideal for platform engineers, security architects, and cloud teams responsible for identity, secrets management, and governance of non‑human identities in enterprise environments.
Speakers: Lennart Passig, HashiCorp and Manuel Schindler, Red Hat
Infrastructure as Code has transformed how cloud environments are set up — but cost control is often addressed too late. When teams only look at cloud spending after deployment, unexpected costs can quickly become a problem.
In this session, we show how cost governance can be shifted earlier into the delivery process. Instead of reacting to cloud bills after the fact, cost considerations are built directly into planning and deployment workflows. This includes setting guardrails from day one, using clear rules and policies, and estimating costs before changes go live.
Cloud costs are no longer just tracked and reported — they become an active part of decision‑making. Teams gain transparency, accountability, and control, with clear visibility into spending, ownership, and governance across environments.
The result: better financial discipline in the cloud, fewer surprises, and faster innovation with confidence.
