Unlocking the Power of Open-source: CloudStack Collaboration Conference Agenda Unveiled

The global CloudStack community and open-source enthusiasts are gearing up for an exhilarating 2-day hybrid conference that promises to be an educational and insightful look into Apache CloudStack and cloud technology.

Apache CloudStack is an open-source software, designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a hybrid cloud solution.

The CloudStack Collaboration Conference is set to take place both in Paris and virtually on November 23-24, 2023. Today, we are thrilled to announce the release of the conference agenda, offering a sneak peek into what promises to be an insightful and collaborative event.

Featuring a rich array of sessions and workshops, there's a wealth of knowledge to be gained. Here are some standouts from the event schedule:

State of the Union, Rohit Yadav

In this session, Rohit will reflect on the last year of project collaboration, developments in CloudStack and community activity. He will set out how he sees the project developing over the next few years.

Keynote Talk: Open Source is Not Dead, Charles Schulz

Successful open-source companies change their business models and then the open source license they were distributing their software on. More and more it feels like Open Source is just a marketing buzzword designed to lure customers to a particular solution. On the regulatory front, the EU is implementing the CRA and handling software as it were trucks manufacturing. Is there any hope left for Open Source? Has it failed in delivering its premise? Fear not. Open Source is not dead. It has already won and it will prevail again

What's New in CloudStack 4.19, Abhishek Kumar

Abhishek will give a brief introduction to the new and exciting features in the upcoming Apache CloudStack 4.19 release.

How to Re-use Old Hardware with CloudStack. Saving Money and the Environment, Wido den Hollander

Wido will share how using older hardware for a longer time can save money and the environment by not producing new hardware.

Migrating VMware Infra to KVM Using CloudStack, Nicolas Vazquez

In this session, Nicolas will present a new feature, targeted for CloudStack 4.19, which allows administrators to migrate Instances from a VMware environment (external or connected to CloudStack) and import them into a KVM CloudStack-managed environment.

The CloudStack Collaboration Conference is an entirely community-driven gathering orchestrated by passionate volunteers from within our community. We express our deep appreciation to the sponsors of the CloudStack Collaboration Conference - ShapeBlue, StorPool, LINBIT, DIMSI, Vates, mitteldeutsche IT, Leaseweb, proIO, and Your.Online - for their invaluable support in making this event accessible to the global community.

Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a hybrid cloud solution.

CloudStack is a turnkey solution that includes the entire "stack" of features most organizations want with an IaaS cloud: compute orchestration, Network-as-a-Service, user and account management, a full and open native API, resource accounting, and a first-class User Interface (UI).
