Anil Inamdar, NetApp Instaclustr, Global Head of Data Services

Platform engineering has become one of the hottest topics in software development, and with good reason. It bridges the gap between pie-in-the-sky claims about accelerating application development (and ROI), and the boots-on-the-ground reality of most software teams, which are often already stretched thin while being asked to support increasingly ambitious business goals. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to platform engineering, it’s becoming increasingly clear that open-source software and projects are absolutely vital to its success.

This CloudX session will dig into how open source can fuel platform engineering success, with discussion around:

- How open source gives you the means to start small. You can identify key gaps in your platform and developer experience and look for reliable open-source options to deliver those needs.

- How open source technologies can help you make adoption, testing, experimentation, and exploration easier for developers—a must for a successful platform approach.

- Specific advantages that open source can deliver to platform engineering, including portability, dev talent recruitment security, and pluggability.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (DataWeek): Leveraging Open Source AI Securely and Privately
Wednesday September 10, 2025 1:00pm - 1:50pm PDT
JJ Asghar, IBM, Developer Advocate

Honestly, you're probably jealous of those people saying "ChatGPT" is making their lives easier. You may think that leveraging AI is this generation's adoption of the calculator. I'm here to say yes, you are right, but let's be honest: we have no idea how the ChatGPTs of the world are trained or if they are secure.
If you run a technology company, your data is your secret sauce; if your boss found out you were leveraging ChatGPT to do your job, would they be happy? Probably not.
In this presentation, we will explore how LLMs work locally through hands-on activities, such as setting up some local open-source private and free LLMs to help you get closer to the promise of generative AI.
Overall, this presentation will start with some basic installation leveraging Ollama and VS Code or any of the JetBrains platforms (and you'll learn what that means and what the differences are!), then pull in AnythingLLM and/or OpenWebUI to help give you a straightforward chat-like interface to your LLM. We will provide you with the knowledge, tools, some generic prompts, and use cases to gain more confidence in your daily life by leveraging LLMs.
You'll walk out of the workshop with a working LLM that you can engage with no fees or usage, all locally and securely.
