Dependency Analytics

  • Presented by Shubham Mathur & Darshan Vandra from Red Hat
  • What can you expect to learn?
    • Via this session, we want to educate all the developers how they can enhance their programming capabilities by using this extension. It would be a great learning curve for students or those who are just out of college as they get to know or learn about aspects of selecting a package in their project, which they usually are not aware of.

Digital Sovereignty – Why Open Infrastructure Matters

  • Presented by Marius Feldmann from Cloud & Heat Technologies, Kurt Garloff
  • What can you expect to learn?
    • In 2019 the term “digital sovereignty” gained momentum in Europe. The first time in history, several ministries such as the German or French ministry for Economic Affairs, pushed forward initiatives to establish digital sovereignty. In this talk, we will give an interpretation of this important term. Additionally, we will provide an overview of the European initiative GAIA-X. Last but not least, we will point out, why in our opinion neither digital sovereignty nor the goals of the GAIA-X initiative can be achieved without open infrastructures.

Improvements to Identity Federation in Keystone

  • Presented by Kristi Nikolla from Mass Open Cloud
  • What can you expect to learn?
    • Previous and current state of identity federation in keystone
    • Expiring group memberships and how to carry permissions through mapping rules
    • Operations on the federated attributes of a user through the API
    • What identity federation is, why you would use it, and how to set it up

Introducing Open Enclave

  • Presented by Aeva Black from Microsoft,
  • What can you expect to learn?
    • In this talk, attendees will learn about the work happening in the Confidential Computing Consortium to secure public cloud workloads using hardware trusted execution enclaves (HW TEE’s), a new CPU capability introduced recently by Intel, AMD, and ARM.
    • More specifically, attendees will learn about the Open Enclave SDK project which can be used to write “enclave aware” applications across multiple CPU architectures, and will be given either a tour of the code or a demo of a running application (depending on the luck of the day).
    • Attendees will leave this talk with enough knowledge to write their own Hello World application using Open Enclave.

Physical tenant separation: evaluation of concepts and proposed implementations

  • Presented by Laura Geisler from secustack GmbH.
  • What can you expect to learn?
    • Listeners will learn about possible approaches of integrating physical separation concepts into OpenStack and the corresponding advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Furthermore, attendees will get an understanding about how the seemingly contradicting approach of introducing physical exclusivity can still fit into the cloud paradigm.
