The OpenInfra Summit Berlin Schedule is Live!

The schedule for the 2022 OpenInfra Summit, released yesterday, features keynotes and sessions from users like Volvo, Adobe, Bloomberg and China Mobile. The event, held in person for the first time since November 2019, takes place June 7-9, 2022, at the Berlin Congress Center. Other notable speakers include AWS, Canonical, Red Hat, Workday, OVHCloud, SovereignCloudStack and many more.

Register before prices increase on March 18!

The full event agenda is organized by use cases, including AI, CI/CD, containers, edge computing, hardware enablement, HPC, hybrid cloud, NFV, security and public and private cloud.

Featured sessions include:

  • Learn how Bloomberg scaled multiple single-cell OpenStack clouds to now support over 10,000 virtual machines.
  • Started by Meta (formerly Facebook), Magma is an open source platform for building carrier-grade networks. This talk will demonstrate how to set up a Magma 5G virtual lab on OpenStack with automation. Setting up this lab with Ansible will help private cloud operators with no prior knowledge in the telecom domain to enter into the 5G world.
  • Workday has built one of the largest OpenStack-based private clouds in the world, hosting a workload of over a million physical cores on over 16,000 compute nodes in 5 data centers for over ten years. We would like to share our new architecture and deployment approach as well as lessons learned from our experience including how they migrated from Jenkins to Zuul. 
  • Learn how OVHCloud integrated L3 services into one of the biggest OpenStack Public Clouds.
  • Adobe has been using Kata Containers in production for two years on Ethos Adobe’s internal container platform system. Kata has been integral in meeting their isolation and security requirements but there have been some areas that we had to work around to meet internal customer requirements when it comes to storage and network performance. 
  • Zuul is now the default CI chain at Volvo Cars Corporation, and last year’s expansion has been extensive. We will show how Zuul features are used as the first line of integration for all modules in the core computer.
  • Learn about the state of support for DPUs in OpenStack and what using DPUs in your cloud entails.
