Every month, the OVHcloud Developer Advocate team creates content, shares knowledge, and connects with the tech community. Here’s a look at what we did in May 2026. 🚀
🎙️ “Tranches de Tech” – Our monthly podcast
A new episode of our French-language podcast Tranches de Tech 🥑 just dropped!
🎧 Episode 28: La dream team au complet
In this episode of Tranche de Tech, Stephane and Aurelie welcome former team member Thierry for a wide-ranging conversation on tech, conferences, and community.
They reflect on recent events like Devoxx France and MiXiT, sharing highlights from talks, trends, and the growing role of AI in today’s software landscape.
The discussion explores how AI is evolving from pure model innovation toward software patterns, developer tooling, and more practical, structured usage.
Thierry also introduces CALM, his weekly Twitch show, and revisits the inspiring story behind Mixtine, a kids’ tech initiative that brings programming and digital culture to younger generations.
More than a tech recap, this episode is a celebration of curiosity, knowledge sharing, and the importance of building inclusive communities around technology.

📝 Our latest blog posts
Here are the articles our team published on the OVHcloud Blog this month.
📝 Devoxx France 2026: feedback and highlights – by Aurélie Vache
This blog post explains what stood out at Devoxx France 2026, from major conference highlights to the key technology trends shaping the developer ecosystem.
It shows how AI dominated the event, with strong attention on agentic systems, governance, production use cases, and the broader impact of AI on software engineering.
The article also highlights OVHcloud’s strong presence through its booth, community engagement, and a large number of accepted talks and speakers.
Beyond AI, it captures wider themes such as platform engineering, security, cloud resilience, developer experience, open source, and digital sovereignty.
Overall, it offers both a conference recap and a clear snapshot of where the industry is heading in 2026.
📝 Navigating OVHcloud Enterprise File Storage (EFS) with Trident CSI On Kubernetes clusters (MKS) – by Aurélie Vache
This blog post explains how to connect OVHcloud Enterprise File Storage (EFS) to Managed Kubernetes Service (MKS) clusters using NetApp Trident CSI.
It walks readers through provisioning the required OVHcloud resources with Terraform, including EFS, OAuth2 credentials, IAM policies, and vRack Services networking.
The article then shows how to install Trident, configure the backend securely, and integrate EFS as dynamic shared storage for Kubernetes workloads.
It highlights key capabilities such as high availability, predictable performance, and ReadWriteMany access for production-ready persistent storage.
Overall, it serves as a practical step-by-step guide for teams that need scalable shared file storage in OVHcloud Kubernetes environments.
📝 Copy.Fail (CVE-2026-31431): How to Rapidly Protect OVHcloud MKS Clusters from the Linux Kernel Zero-Day – by Aurélie Vache
This blog post explains how the Copy.Fail (CVE-2026-31431) Linux kernel zero-day can rapidly compromise systems through reliable privilege escalation.
It shows how the flaw abuses the algif_aead crypto module to hijack trusted binaries in memory without changing files on disk, making detection harder.
The article highlights the risks for Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD runners, shared environments, and multi-tenant infrastructure.
It also provides an immediate DaemonSet-based mitigation that OVHcloud MKS users can deploy while waiting for patched cluster versions.
Overall, it serves as a practical guide to reducing exposure quickly, while reminding readers that the official security patch is the proper long-term fix.
🎙️ Podcasts / Videos 📺
Aurélie was invited in the podcast “Biztrot Café #2 – IA Gen or not IA Gen ?“.
During this second episode of the podcast, Marian, Julien, Jean-Phi and Aurélie discussed about a recurring question: “AI Gen or not AI Gen?” and the growing use of generative AI in the tech community. Together, they discuss how AI is being used to create conference talks, presentation slides, blog posts, and even sketchnotes. They share both the benefits and the limitations of these tools, highlighting how generative AI can accelerate content creation while still requiring careful review, creativity, and significant iteration to achieve high-quality results.

See you next month! 👋
Once a developer, always a developer!
Java developer for many years, I have the joy of knowing JDK 1.1, JEE, Struts, ... and now Spring, Quarkus, (core, boot, batch), Angular, Groovy, Golang, ...
For more than ten years I was a Software Architect, a job that allowed me to face many problems inherent to the complex information systems in large groups.
I also had other lives, notably in automation and delivery with the implementation of CI/CD chains based on Jenkins pipelines.
I particularly like sharing and relationships with developers and I became a Developer Relation at OVHcloud.
This new adventure allows me to continue to use technologies that I like such as Kubernetes or AI for example but also to continue to learn and discover a lot of new things.
All the while keeping in mind one of my main motivations as a Developer Relation: making developers happy.
Always sharing, I am the co-creator of the TADx Meetup in Tours, allowing discovery and sharing around different tech topics.
Developer Advocate at OVHcloud, specialized in Cloud Native, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Developer eXperience (DX).
She is recognized as a Docker Captain, CNCF ambassador, GDE & Women techmakers Ambassador.
She has been working as a Developer and Ops for over 20 years. Cloud enthusiast and advocates DevOps/Cloud/Golang best practices.
Technical writer, a sketchnoter and a speaker at international conferences.
Book author, she created a new visual way for people to learn and understand Cloud technologies: "Understanding Kubernetes / Docker / Istio in a visual way" in sketchnotes, books and videos.
