We will review the main features of CloudStack, discuss it's adoption, community and development model. We will show how the Apache Software Foundation hosts most of the projects needed to build cloud offerings: from IaaS, PaaS, clients and Big Data.

10:30-11:10   A Swiss Cloud Provider: Exoscale -Antoine Coetsier, Exoscale

                    Abstract: Exoscale is a public cloud supported by the Veltigroup. It offers a managed cloud service based on vcloud and an open cloud based on Apache CloudStack. This presentation will show how the choice of CloudStack was made and how the Cloud was architected to provide an easy to use service ala EC2. The presentation will also present the exoscale roadmap for integrating CloudStack with an object store and bring an S3 service live.

11:10-11:50   The Slipstream multi-cloud broker -Marc Elian Begin, Sixsq

                    Abstract: The IaaS cloud provides increased agility at the infrastructure level, however, to reap full benefit users need the ability to automate application deployment, configuration and service coordination.  This is the job of a PaaS, such that users can reason in terms of application workload, deploying fully ready multi-tier and parameterised applications in single action. SlipStream, an open source and multi-cloud solution developed by SixSq provides this functionality.  During this session, we will explore the capability of this open source platform, showing how it can interface concurrently with several IaaS clouds in order to provide deployment and image creation automation, independently from the underlying IaaS provider.

11:50-12:20    Swiss Academic Cloud -Sergio Maffioletti, University of Zurich

                     Abstract: The Swiss Academic Compute Cloud (SwissACC) aims to establish a Swiss-wide “computational science” platform composed of resources and services of various type as well as high quality know-how for user and application support. The presentation will illustrate approaches and experiences in supporting usecases from a large variety of scientific disciplines and the roadmap for a cloud-based academic research infrastructure."
