CALL FOR SPEAKERS
In the era of cloud-native breed and digital, self-healing, auto-scalable infrastructures governed by AI, we’re looking for speakers for OpenInfra Days Italy 2019, to be held in Milan on the 2nd of October and in Rome on 3rd of October.
Cloud Native strategy is about scale and resilience. According to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), it is about designing and implementing distributed systems capable of scaling to tens of thousands of self healing multi-tenant nodes.
The Open Source platform OpenStack, is a vendor-neutral home for building sustainable cloud ecosystems based on a constellation of market-leading modular projects. With the new emphasis given to the concept of Open Infrastructure, the OpenStack foundation further lowered barriers to participation and inclusion of heterogeneous infrastructures and projects.
OpenInfra Day Italy 2019 will provide a 360-degrees view of Open Infrastructure – from computing, networking, and storage, through hands-on workshops and sessions focussing on real-world stories, more and more focusing on container orchestration and microservices architecture.

JOIN LEADING PROFESSIONALS FROM THE CLOUD INDUSTRY AND RESEARCH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE HOTTEST TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS!
Binario Etico, Irideos and Politecnico di Milano have been actively involved in the development, diffusion and management of OpenStack since early years.
