4 Proposing a Public Cloud infrastructure and using it to heat a residential neighborhood

In a first part we will detail some challenges we face on a daily basis in offering a public cloud infrastructure built on Openstack. Then in a second part, how we use this infrastructure to heat a residential area with our new datacenter.

Speakers: Axel Jacquet (Infomaniak), Siméon Gourlin (Infomaniak)

7 How can I give virtual GPU resources to my endusers seamlessly?

While OpenStack Nova supports virtual GPU and GPU passthrough for a while now, we recently improved a few things and we provided support for the recent nVidia SR-IOV architectures. During this presentation, we'll cover the recent additions that were made and we'll show how to manage your GPU resources in order to provide them to end users, including an experimental feature that will provide GPU quotas to your users.

Speaker: Sylvain Bauza (Red Hat)

8 Introduction to ovn-bgp-agent

As data centres grow to hyper-scale, the limitations of traditional Layer 2 networking architectures are becoming apparent on scalability and performance, and there is a growing interest for pure Layer 3 deployments.
To allow that feature on OpenStack, we have been working on a new OVN based agent that can expose workloads through BGP, which we will present in this talk.

Speaker: Bernard Cafarelli (Red Hat)
