We will have speakers from a variety of projects and solutions. From disruptive technologies like Unikernels to new projects which run containers on VMs like Hyper, we'll have a full day of the newest and best technologies which will shape the next generation of cloud. Embedded hypervisors, the Internet of Things, new cloud orchestration solutions... they will all shape your future. The time to understand these things is now. And the place to understand these things is here.

* Unikernels: VMs that are smaller and faster than Docker, but are much more secure
* OpenStack in a hurry: From zero to cloud in minutes, not weeks
* Graphics processor virtualization: Bringing high-speed graphics applications to VMs
* Docker enablement: A new engine to deploy VMs just like containers
* Security: New ways to make JVM payloads secure in the cloud
* Embedded hypervisors: Taking virtualization and cloud capabilities to places they've never gone before
* and more!

You don't need to be a user of the Xen Project Hypervisor to attend this event. You just need to have an interest in the future of the IT industry. Unlike some one-day seminars provided by commercial hypervisor vendors, this is no sales pitch disguised as a technical offering. This is a FREE FOSS conference organized by an established project to provide excellent technical value without the sales nonsense or marketing drivel. We won't have big banners, dancing bears, or endless trinkets, but we will have excellent techical content which will shape tomorrow's technology.

What New Things Are Coming for the Cloud?

It's not enough to know what today's cloud looks like. You need to develop an eye toward the future of the cloud as well.

The Xen Project is proud to organize this conference for architects and users of clouds and virtualization of all types. Across the Free Software and Open Source world, there are many new technologies in the works which will alter the nature of the cloud forever. We are happy to bring a number of representatives together from these projects to give you a taste of the future of virtualization and the cloud.

We at the Xen Project recognize that the future of the hypervisor rests in the new technologies which will use it in new ways. Yesterday's workloads are already addressed; it's tomorrow's workloads which will determine the future. We are constantly working to facilitate those next generation workloads so our hypervisor will remain a top candidate in the cloud and beyond.

We will have speakers discussing a variety of projects and solutions, including:

  • Unikernels: VMs that are smaller and faster than Docker, but are much more secure
  • OpenStack in a hurry: From zero to cloud in minutes, not weeks
  • Graphics processor virtualization: Bringing high-speed graphics applications to VMs
  • Docker enablement: A new engine to deploy VMs just like containers
  • Security: New ways to make JVM payloads secure in the cloud
  • Embedded hypervisors: Taking virtualization and cloud capabilities to places they've never gone before
  • and more!

We'll have a full day of the newest and best technologies which will shape the next generation of cloud. These technologies will shape your future. The time to understand these things is now. And the place to understand these things is here.

You don't need to be a user of the Xen Project Hypervisor to attend this event. You just need to have an interest in the future of the IT industry. Unlike some one-day seminars provided by commercial hypervisor vendors, this is no sales pitch disguised as a technical offering. This is a FREE FOSS conference organized by an established project to provide excellent technical value without the sales nonsense or marketing drivel. We won't have big banners, dancing bears, or endless trinkets, but we will have excellent techical content which will shape tomorrow's technology.

If the future of the IT industry matters to you, you'll benefit from this conference.

Registration is now open via Eventbrite. Please register early so we can reserve a seat for you!
