Title: Open Infrastructure: What's behind the $8.8 trillion USD Market.

Description: Infrastructure lays the foundation for every daily function and open source drives innovation, cost savings, and adaptability. Together, open infrastructure has adapted to global and regional trends to disrupt proprietary market holds and drive human progress. In the face of recent trends, like licensing changes and redefining infrastructure for AI, open source communities are continuing to collaborate to evolve the projects behind an $8.8 trillion USD market. Hear how these communities have been responding over the past decade.

Title: Playing Openstack "Jenga" - how many of those support blocks do you actually need?

Description: Running Openstack is not a very easy endeavor and what if you want to run it in a disposable manner with randomly rented servers as cheaply as possible? I'll talk about my experience running a very basic OpenStack cluster for the first time as a complete newbie - the challenges, the pitfalls and the eventual wins! This talk is intended to share my experiences and solutions on running a cluster for lab/school use, not as a tutorial. As well as laugh along with me at the hilariously frustrating road I've set for myself!

Speaker: Jonas Liepuonius, first time OpenStack administrator.

Bio: Been working with Linux since forever, have pretty good backgrounds in general IT, networking, infrastructure, cloud and data warehousing. Currently working at my consulting/hosting business called "Zetabitas", previously worked at Nasdaq for almost 6 years in different positions: application support, software development and security. Enjoy talking about various topics and sharing crazy ideas, so feel free to say hi if you see me!

Title: "How to build a confidential cloud."

Description: Since 2018, the Bavarian ministry of health has invested 27 million euros in the DigiMed Bayern project with the ambition to create the lighthouse that will guide Germany towards the medicine of the future.

We will present the DigiMed Secure Cloud which is the cornerstone of the project. Architected around confidential computing technologies and hosted at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in Munich, we will present how the Big Data and Artificial Intelligence team has engineered the OpenStack based Trusted Research Environment with security and performance in mind.

Since a confidential cloud needs confidential data handling we will have a look at the storage infrastructure used and start from that to get the overall architectural picture of a sovereign cloud solution to handle and protect sensitive data.

With the DigiMed Secure Cloud, over one hundred researchers, clinicians, lawyers, and tinkerers from academia and industry across 14 institutions have found a sovereign computing environment to collaborate on sensitive multi-omic medical data.

Speaker: Florent Dufour, research associate at Leibniz Supercomputing Centre and Ph.D. student in AI for medicine at the Technical University of Munich.

Bio: As a researcher at the intersection of cloud computing, genomics, and AI, Florent is developing secure and trustworthy AI systems to enable collaborative health research on sensitive data. His work focuses on designing cloud-based AI systems with confidential computing and differential privacy, aiming to improve patient outcomes and accelerate medical discoveries while ensuring patient data privacy.

Speaker: Jan Peschke, Field CTO at Quobyte.

Bio: Jan has been working with storage mostly from a user perspective: Starting his career at a small web hosting company it took him to work at a supercomputer facility, later building highly available and scalable web hosting scenarios and then being accountable for a cloud engineering team to provide public cloud service infrastructure. His interest was always not only in technology but in what humans do with it. Today Jan is accountable to take over that perspective as a Field CTO at Quobyte.

Title: Q&A about GDPR with legal expert, ask your questions!
