[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (CloudX): Achieve Your Platform Engineering Goals with an Open Source Strategy
Wednesday September 10, 2025 12:00pm - 12:50pm PDT
VIRTUAL CloudX -- Main Stage
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.
