DevOpsDays London 2026
September 17th, 2026
London, UKDevOpsDays London returns for a one-day event on September 17, 2026. What to expect from the UK's community DevOps gathering, and how it connects to container image security.
DevOpsDays London 2026: what to expect
DevOpsDays London is a single-day, community-organized event built around the same Open Spaces format as every other devopsdays: practitioner talks in the morning, attendee-driven discussion for the rest of the day.
Themes to watch
- Platform engineering and internal developer platforms, a dominant theme across the 2025-2026 devopsdays circuit.
- Security and DevOps collaboration ('shifting left' in practice, not just in slide decks).
- Incident response and reliability, told through real post-mortems.
- Career growth and community for engineers at every level.
Where container security fits into the conversation
Platform engineering talks tend to circle back to the same question: what should be a golden path, and what should be a guardrail? Base container images are one of the clearest answers - when the image itself is already CVE-free and hardened, teams building on the platform inherit security by default instead of bolting it on later.
That's the model behind Echo: images that are CVE-free, FIPS-validated, and pre-hardened against DISA STIG requirements, with signed provenance via cosign and sigstore built in from the start.
Building an internal platform in London?
Get in touch - happy to talk through where hardened base images fit into your golden path.
