Agenda for OpenStack Summit Berlin Is Now Live
Open infrastructure builders and users from a diverse swath of
industries and open source technologies will meet in Berlin November
13-15 at the OpenStack
Summit where they will share their work on integration of open
infrastructure technologies and offer an inside look at their
deployments and use cases. The agenda for the event is now live and
features 100+ sessions addressing more than 35 open source projects,
including new projects hosted at the OpenStack Foundation: Kata
Containers, Zuul, Airship and StarlingX.
The Summit
agenda is organized into nine tracks covering open infrastructure
use cases including container infrastructure, private and hybrid cloud,
continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD), edge computing,
artificial intelligence (AI) and NFV.
Sessions and topics of note include:
-
Oerlikon ManMade Fibers, a machine manufacturer for the textile
industry, will detail its OpenStack-based edge computing architecture
and how it enables their customers to output millions of tons of
fibers from geotextiles to fibers so thin that one 15kg bobbin can
stretch from Earth to the moon and back.
-
Driven by the demand of rapid customer growth and increased security
needs, the team at Workday, a leading human resources
software-as-a-service solution, scaled its OpenStack deployment from
50,000 cores to 300,000.
-
CERN has spent significant time making sure the integration of
containers with its storage systems enables them to scale easily while
maintaining high performance. Their Berlin session will discuss the
configuration that provides their users auto provisioning of volumes
on Kubernetes, and is just one of 45 sessions discussing Kubernetes
strategy and implementation. If you want to get started in Berlin,
there is a hands-on workshop led by City Network that will show
attendees how to deploy a Kubernetes cluster template and a Kubernetes
cluster, to an OpenStack Magnum environment.
-
eBay (News - Alert) Classifieds Group will discuss how they updated their
80,000-core private cloud for Spectre and Meltdown with an automated
process using Ansible Playbooks and OpenStack APIs. Additional
OpenStack users discussing security include NASA Goddard's NASA
Center for Climate Simulation and the awsey Supercomputing
Centre.
-
Volkswagen Financial Group and Verizon (News - Alert) will join
an industry panel to discuss data protection and their strategy for
leveraging OpenStack and container technologies to serve both
persistent and non-persistent workloads.
-
BMW will discuss the CI requirements for software projects at
BMW like autonomous driving and how they use Zuul to develop software
at scale.
-
Oath will guide a hands-on workshop around upgrading your
OpenStack environment based on their experience upgrading at massive
scale. Adobe (News - Alert) Advertising Cloud and the UK's Science and
Technology Facilities Council, which provides around 4,000 vCPU
cores and supports thousands of scientists, will share their upgrade
case studies.
-
Interested in how Kata Containers compares to Google's gVisor? Xu
Wang, a member of the Kata Containers Architecture Committee, will
provide an overview of both projects and discuss the performance
tradeoffs of the various methods of workload isolation.
The agenda includes project updates and onboarding sessions around the
newest projects at the OpenStack Foundation-Airship,
Kata
Containers, StarlingX
and Zuul-as
well as an update on the Foundation strategy.
A number of collaborative sessions will be offered at the Forum,
where open infrastructure operators and upstream developers will gather
to jointly chart the long-term future of the OpenStack project and
discuss topics ranging from fast-forward upgrades to networking models
and how to contribute.
The Berlin Summit is the first OpenStack Summit to be held in Germany, a
Top 10 country in terms of OpenStack community membership that ranks
third by number of OpenStack User Survey respondents. The OpenStack
ecosystem in Germany ranges from independent consultants like B1
Systems to major service providers such as Deutsche Telekom (News - Alert)
and large enterprise users like BMW and Volkswagen Financial
Group. Data sovereignty and regulations such as GDPR are driving
growth in the German OpenStack public cloud market, where there are six
public cloud availability zones operated by City Network, Deutsche
Telekom, Enter.IT, teutoStack, Cloud&Heat
and vScaler.
Headline
sponsors for the Berlin Summit are:
-
Canonical
-
Deutsche Telekom
-
Huawei (News - Alert)
-
Intel
-
Red Hat
Sponsorships are available until early October. Early
Bird registration ends on August 21. Analysts and members of the
media can contact [email protected]
for information about event registration.
