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!

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

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.
