Marius Zaharia

From the late 2000s, when the cloud computing took off, Marius Zaharia followed up closely the evolution of cloud technologies, with focus on IaaS, PaaS or hybrid architectures, and particularly in Azure, Microsoft's cloud, and Amazon AWS. At Société Générale, an European leading financial company, Marius works as a Principal Engineer and Cloud Tech Lead, implementing cloud-based infrastructure and application solutions, and operating landing zone capacities for the internal custopers. As Azure MVP, Marius works closely with Microsoft product teams on giving feedback and insights on various Azure services and technologies. Marius is a passionate and proactive organizer and member of the global and French Azure community, speaker at cloud-related events and conferences, and - in his limited spare time left - guitar player and singer.

CONFERENCE DAY ONE

11:30 AM Presentation: Cloud Intelligence at Scale: How AI Agents Are Redefining SRE in Modern Platforms

Cloud environments now generate volumes of telemetry far beyond what traditional SRE practices were built to handle, pushing teams to rethink how reliability is maintained at scale. Drawing on hands on experience with cloud native operations, Marius Zaharia explores how AI powered assistants and agents are being embedded directly into cloud platforms to interpret signals, accelerate diagnosis and automate safe responses. Using concrete examples from Azure based SRE tooling, this session shows how intelligent agents help teams reduce operational noise, respond faster to incidents and evolve toward human in the loop automation without losing control.
• Embedding AI driven agents into cloud monitoring and incident workflows to speed up detection and diagnosis
• Reducing alert noise by correlating logs, metrics and events across complex cloud services
• Advancing cloud reliability practices through safe, governed automation that keeps humans in control

12:00 PM Panel Discussion - What Does SRE Mean Now? The Enterprise Interpretation

Most organisations adopt SRE principles without adopting the "classic" model - and that's often the right call. The challenge is avoiding confusion, bottlenecks, and "SRE as the dumping ground" by agreeing what SRE is there to enable.

• Agreeing SRE's purpose: enablement, shared ownership, or embedded support
• Using SLOs to prioritise work without turning reliability into politics
• Designing on-call boundaries so accountability is clear and scalable


CONFERENCE DAY TWO

10:00 AM Panel Discussion - Reliability Under Constraints: Legacy, Regulation, and Global Complexity

Enterprise reliability is shaped by constraints: legacy systems, privacy requirements, regional rules, and shared services. The winning teams design for these realities rather than treating them as exceptions after incidents happen.
• Modernising safely by proving equivalence and catching regressions early
• Designing observability with privacy, retention, and residency by default
• Avoiding surveillance culture while still enabling rapid incident response
