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.

Networking and after-parties

A single-day event packs its networking into breaks, Open Spaces, and an evening social — a compact but genuinely connective format for the London DevOps community.

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.
