The OpenNebula Project is proud to announce the final agenda and line-up of keynote speakers for the fourth OpenNebula Conference to be held in Barcelona from the 24 to the 26 of October. Guided by your feedback from previous editions, we have changed the traditional format of our conference this year and have included more community sessions to learn and network.

Keynotes

The agenda includes four keynote speakers:

• Jack Wadden from Akamai will give a keynote about how they use OpenNebula in their system for saving and cloning multi-node integration test environments on-demand.
• Alfonso Aurelio Carrillo Aspiazu, David Artuñedo Guillén and Maria Luisa García Osma from Telefonica will give a keynote about how they use OpenNebula and ON.Lab’s ONOS to prototype a new generation of Central Offices
• Matteo Lanati from LRZ will will give a keynote about how Leibniz Supercomputing Centre is reconsidering the usage model of its cloud infrastructure based on OpenNebula.
• Daniel Dehennin from EOLE will will give a keynote about how they use to smooth the development and test of a turn key GNU/Linux distribution for the Ministère de l’Éducation nationale (France).

Community Sessions 

We had a big response to the call for presentations. Thanks for submitting a talk proposal!. Although all submissions were of very high quality and merit, only a small amount of abstracts will be presented. Unlike previous editions, we will have a single track with 10-minutes talks, to keep all the audience focused and interested. We have given our very best to get the perfect balance of topics. We will have talks by Unity Technologies, StorPool, LINBIT, NetWays…

Hands-on Workshops 

We will have four 90-minute hands-on workshops, where some of the key contributors to OpenNebula will walk attendees through the configuration and integration aspects of the main subsystems in OpenNebula:

• Networking, NFVs and SDNs
• Storage
• Hypervisors and Containers
• Security, Federation & Hybrid Hands-on Workshop

These hans-on sessions will also include 5-minute lightning talks focusing on one key point. If you would like to talk in these sessions, please contact us!

• Introductory Hands-on Tutorial
