Edge ecosystem, sane OpenStack deployments, and CERN scale

We've got a special edition of the OpenInfra London and Manchester Meetup lined up - a virtual event combining both communities with a selection of awesome Open Infrastructure related talks.

We'll be streaming live on YouTube - here's the URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0liqSO0SZ60

6:00pm to 6:30pm - Introductions, OpenStack 10th anniversary retrospective
6:30pm to 7:15pm - Edge ecosystem, use cases and architectures (Ildikó Vancsa, OpenStack Foundation and Gergely Csatari, Nokia)
7:20pm to 8:05pm - Kayobe & Kolla - sane OpenStack deployment (Mark Goddard, StackHPC
8:15pm to 9:00pm - 7 years of CERN Cloud - From 0 to 300k cores (Belmiro Moreira, CERN)

· Edge ecosystem, use cases and architectures - Ildikó Vancsa, OpenStack Foundation and Gergely Csatari, Nokia

As cloud computing is moving to the edge of the network there are a lot of new use cases that require to rethink how the infrastructure is designed and deployed. In other cases the existing systems get to evolve further to support new demands. Distributed systems become the new norm, often on a massive scale. This deployment model is not a fundamentally new concept, but the scale requires to revisit the compromises we made so far to handle challenges like lifecycle management or interoperability.

The OSF Edge Computing Group is collecting use cases to identify and analyze edge specific requirements that we can use to define reference models, architectures and test plans for projects in the ecosystem to use to enhance existing software components and develop missing pieces.

This session will give an overview of the working group’s activities including the current challenges in the edge computing space. The audience will also learn about the latest white paper the group published about the most important edge use cases, the architecture models we discovered and the implementation and testing considerations of edge clouds.

· Kayobe & Kolla - sane OpenStack deployment - Mark Goddard, StackHPC

In this talk we introduce Kayobe, the latest addition to the OpenStack
Kolla project. Learn how Kayobe uses Bifrost to support bare metal
provisioning, and extends Kolla Ansible to offer an end-to-end cloud deployment
tool.

· 7 years of CERN Cloud - From 0 to 300k cores - Belmiro Moreira, CERN
In the year that OpenStack celebrates 10 years we talk about the evolution of the CERN Cloud through the years... the good / bad decisions, how it changed overtime and in what we are working now.
