Printed programmes and the person introducing me

Rushabh Shah is a DevOps engineer at Orocorp Technologies Private Limited in Ahmedabad, India, where he runs Kubernetes workloads for a lending business: Helm charts and GitOps delivery through Argo CD, infrastructure as code in Terraform, CI/CD on GitHub Actions, and observability built on Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo and OpenTelemetry. He is a Docker Captain and a Grafana Champion, both selected in 2026, in the community programmes run by Docker and Grafana Labs. He organizes Grafana & Friends Ahmedabad, a community meetup focused on observability and the LGTM stack, and he represented KodeKloud at the inaugural KubeCon India in Delhi in 2024. Before Orocorp he cut AWS spend by 59 percent, built delivery pipelines that brought release time to about ten minutes, and led a zero downtime migration from AWS to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure against a fixed deadline. Earlier he built hands on cloud labs at KodeKloud and delivered Azure certification training to enterprise teams at Koenig Solutions. A large part of his open source work is localization. He contributed the Hindi localization of ebpf.io, translated the Kusion README into Hindi, and has an ongoing series of Hindi localization pull requests against the Kubernetes documentation. The reasoning is simple: most cloud native documentation assumes fluent English, which quietly excludes a large share of the engineers who most need it. He writes at rushabhshah.dev about Kubernetes, observability and the parts of running infrastructure that only show up during an incident, including postmortems of failures he has debugged himself.

Talks I can give

Each one has been given or accepted somewhere. Any of them works as a lightning talk, a full session or a hands-on workshop.

  1. 01Kubernetes disaster recovery that survives a real restoreWhat Git can and cannot bring back, and how Flux and Velero cover the rest. Live failure, live recovery.
  2. 02Migrating to Prometheus native histogramsRunning classic and native histograms side by side, proving the queries agree, and the dashboards that break on the way.
  3. 03Observability for AI agentsTracing every model turn and tool call with OpenTelemetry so an agent's decisions can be debugged like any other service.
  4. 04Containers for agentsCompose for agents, MCP and sandboxed runtimes, shown as a working demo rather than a roadmap slide.
  5. 05Supply chain evidence an auditor can trustWhy a mutable tag is not an approval, and what to enforce in policy instead.
  6. 06Cloud native from zero, for studentsOne app from laptop to container to Kubernetes, with the failure each step fixes shown live.
  7. 07Observability from zero, for beginnersGrafana or OpenSearch, from an empty install to a dashboard people actually use, in one session.

Stage and AV

What I need on the day, so nothing surprises your AV team.

Microphone
Lavalier or headset preferred. Handheld works, but not for a live terminal demo where both hands are on the keyboard.
Display
16:9, 1920x1080. Demos run at a raised terminal font size and are legible from the back of the room.
Connection
HDMI. I carry USB-C to HDMI adapters, but a spare on site is always welcome.
Machine
I present from my own laptop (macOS, Apple silicon). Happy to load slides onto a conference machine if the deck is static.
Network
Live demos hit a real cluster. If the venue network is unreliable, tell me in advance and I will switch to a recorded fallback rather than risk dead air.
Remote
Can present live by video call or send a pre-recorded segment when travel is not possible.
