Free Software Cloud Workshop

'Build a Free Software cloud from ground up:

Virtualization, Containerization and Automation' Workshop

ICFOSS is organising a workshop namely 'Build a Free Software cloud from ground up: Virtualization, Containerization and Automation' during 10th and 11th of October, 2017 at ICFOSS office. Considering the increasing adoption of cloud based solutions, it is important that Free Software based cloud computing capabilities are developed within important IT service providers in the Government. Moreover, policy level understanding of the technology is also necessary. The programme will cover issues in cloud computing, virtual machine technologies, container architecture and automation. The first day first half of the programme is more on policy and is suitable for people involved in policy making and system architecting. The remaining session will be hands-on.

The sessions will be handled by Mr.Abhas Abhinav, Founder, Deeproot Linux and consultant to various organisations including Indian Defence Establishments. The key institutions relating to IT infrastructure may nominate their representative for the event by sending mail to programs@icfoss.in
