OpenNebula Systems is excited to participate in EGI2026, taking place September 22–24 in Ghent, Belgium. The annual EGI Conference brings together digital and research infrastructure providers, data scientists, policymakers, and innovators to explore the technologies and strategies shaping the future of data-intensive science.
This year, OpenNebula Systems will contribute to the program with a dedicated workshop on building AI Factories across hybrid HPC-cloud environments. The session will explore how organizations can combine distributed cloud and HPC resources to deliver scalable AI services, with a particular focus on GPU-as-a-Service and LLM-as-a-Service.
The workshop will also examine how Kubernetes and Slurm can work alongside cloud orchestration to support AI and HPC workloads across heterogeneous infrastructures. From Kubernetes-based AI platforms and containerized workloads to Slurm-managed HPC clusters, participants will see how different resource and workload managers can be brought together as part of a flexible AI Factory architecture.
The session will highlight how open technologies can help research infrastructures and AI Factories make better use of GPUs and other accelerated computing resources, bridge cloud, Kubernetes, and HPC environments, and deliver AI capabilities across distributed infrastructure without locking organizations into a single platform or location.
Join the OpenNebula Workshop
On September 22 from 14:00 to 15:30, OpenNebula Systems will host the open workshop “Building an AI Factory: Delivering GPUaaS and LLMaaS for Hybrid HPC-Cloud Environments.”
The session will look at how organizations can build and operate flexible AI infrastructure across hybrid HPC and cloud environments, while making GPU capacity and LLM services available efficiently and at scale.
Participants will learn more about OpenNebula’s approach to AI infrastructure and how cloud orchestration can help research organizations and infrastructure providers coordinate heterogeneous resources, integrate existing HPC environments, and support demanding AI workloads from a unified infrastructure layer.
The workshop will also provide a practical opportunity to discuss how technologies such as Kubernetes and Slurm can coexist within an AI Factory, allowing organizations to combine cloud-native AI platforms with established HPC environments rather than replacing one with the other.
How to Register
To attend the OpenNebula workshop, participants need to complete two steps:
- Purchase an EGI2026 ticket that includes access to September 22 here.
- Register for the OpenNebula workshop after purchasing the ticket here.
Space is limited, so we encourage interested attendees to register in advance.
Meet OpenNebula at EGI2026
EGI2026 is a key meeting point for the European research and scientific computing community, bringing together experts working across advanced computing, AI, data infrastructure, and digital sovereignty.
OpenNebula Systems’ participation reflects our commitment to supporting open, flexible, and interoperable infrastructure for the next generation of AI and scientific computing.
During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to meet the OpenNebula team and discuss how our open source cloud platform can help organizations integrate cloud, HPC, Kubernetes, Slurm, and accelerated computing resources into a common infrastructure for modern AI workloads.
We look forward to exchanging ideas with the EGI community and discussing how organizations can build the infrastructure needed to take AI workloads from experimentation to production.
Join us at EGI2026 where you can take part in the OpenNebula workshop and book a meeting with our team.
