Short description(s): What if you could build a secure, scalable private cloud for labs and small environments—without enterprise-level costs? The first talk presents a practical approach to designing and deploying a private cloud using Proxmox VE, combining virtualization, containers, storage, and networking into a unified and manageable system. We focus on high availability, centralized management, and data protection, using affordable, real-world setups. Key topics include infrastructure design, storage strategies, network security, containerized applications, and monitoring. A hands-on, production-ready approach for building reliable and maintainable infrastructure in small-scale environments.

The event is kindly hosted in the Innovation Hub of the Region of Western Greece, powered by the Industrial Systems Institute of Athena RC.
