Open Cloudification - The Beacon information session

In collaboration with Imec and LSEC, The Beacon will run the research, development and dissemination program called "COOCK Open Cloudification". This objective of this government-backed programs is to provide knowledge, experience, examples, tools and guidance related to the use of open cloud technology, to accelerate the adoption of these technologies.

By organizing a series of inspiration sessions and workshops, but also by developing whitepapers, a knowledge database, a toolkit and a sandbox environment, COOCK Open Cloudification will contribute to the adoption of open cloud technologies in Flanders.

PROGRAM

The objective of this session is to assess the maturity, the interest, the questions and the opportunities of a limited number of companies, with respect to open cloud technologies. In this small, focused and online workshop, the COOCK Open Cloudification team will address the questions of the participants, and co-create joint activities to increase the knowledge of open cloud technology (or specific aspects thereof), and to define and support tests and POCs.

The webinar will address the following topics:

• Challenges and opportunities of Open Cloud Technologies
• Open Cloud for Edge Computing
• How to experiment with Kubernetes using Tengu Labs

To prepare for this session, we would recommend filling out the Maturity Assessment Tool (5 min. work) on the website (https://www.opencloudification.com/opencloudification-project/opencloudification-asks/opencloudification-open-cloud-maturity-assessment/). The website contains valuable information regarding open cloud components, logic and use cases.

FOR WHOM

This will be a technical seminar, so we're aiming to gather senior technical profiles (e.g. senior engineer) that have an understanding of the general business of their company, but also a thorough understanding of (open/proprietary) cloud, serverless, on-prem or similar disciplines.
