href="https://www.cloudstackcollab.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CloudStack Collaboration Conference
2023</a> took place on 23-24th November. The
annual event is the largest get-together for the global Apache CloudStack
community. The hybrid event is aimed at developers, operators and users to
discuss and evolve the open-source software, its functionality and real-world
operability. It introduces attendees to the CloudStack family, community
leaders, project members and contributors.</p><p>The conference, arranged by a group of volunteers from the Apache CloudStack
Community, took place in the voco hotel, in Porte de Clichy, Paris. It hosted
over 350 attendees from 30+ countries, with 47 speakers holding sessions and
workshops.</p><p>The Apache CloudStack community would like to express their gratitude to the
sponsors of the conference, whose support made the event a reality – <a href="https://www.shapeblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ShapeBlue</a>,

adoption, functionality and community size. In the project’s annual State of The

activity. He sets out how he sees the project developing over the next few
years.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCNCmJxxEPA&amp;si=4gDlygRMvxFkKtpf9" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" src="/assets/images/01-StateOfTheUnion-6caaa0a37a00540629a3dc2fb3b096d6.png" title="State of the Union" width="1152" height="542" class="img_ev3q"></a></p><iframe src="https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/hH2CO8kHcQaCQo?hostedIn=slideshare&amp;page=upload" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"> </iframe><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="whats-new-in-cloudstack-419-abhishek-kumar">What’s New in CloudStack 4.19, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shwstppr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Abhishek Kumar</a><a href="#whats-new-in-cloudstack-419-abhishek-kumar" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to whats-new-in-cloudstack-419-abhishek-kumar" title="Direct link to whats-new-in-cloudstack-419-abhishek-kumar"></a></h3><p>This session gives a brief introduction of the new and exciting feature in the

the details on the timeline of the CloudStack 4.19.0 release, overview of some
of the marquee, new feature of the release – Object storage framework, KVM
ingestion, Hypervisor agnostic simple DRS, CAPC aware CKS, OAuth2, DRaaS with

source license they were distributing their software on. More and more it feels
like Open Source is just a marketing buzzword designed to lure customers to a
particular solution. On the regulatory front, the EU is implementing the CRA and
handling software as it were trucks manufacturing. Is there any hope left for
Open Source? Has it failed in delivering its premise? Fear not. Open Source’s
not dead. It has already won and it will prevail again.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEWBox97qG4&amp;si=cJ7ZVRnaSBK5l9k9&amp;controls=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" src="/assets/images/03-keynote-68b465264433a765f594be0ed983122b.png" title="Open Source is Not Dead" width="1152" height="536" class="img_ev3q"></a></p><iframe src="https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/8AqGBCIdZV8jFe?hostedIn=slideshare&amp;page=upload" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"> </iframe><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="why-and-how-cloudstack-at-wesystems-stephan-bienek">Why and How CloudStack at weSystems, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephan-bienek-66aa69206/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stephan Bienek</a><a href="#why-and-how-cloudstack-at-wesystems-stephan-bienek" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to why-and-how-cloudstack-at-wesystems-stephan-bienek" title="Direct link to why-and-how-cloudstack-at-wesystems-stephan-bienek"></a></h3><p>Why?

providing resources in terms of tools and infrastructure. In a university, a
makerspace provides students with an opportunity to build a portfolio. Students
experiment through an entire development life cycle by creating prototypes for
each stage of a cycle. It has been shown to be a productive method for learning.</p><p>To the best of our knowledge, software development is yet to be included in the
makerspace concept. In the case of our software makerspace, it is following the
same principles as a traditional makerspace for device and mechanical
prototyping, but instead provides software development tools. One such
indispensable tool is cloud-based infrastructure. A cloud facilitates rapid
prototyping of machine learning tools, microservices, IoT data mining, etc. </p><p>This talk presents their approach to extend the concept of a makerspace to
software development using a student developed private cloud. They present the
method they used to gather requirements from various researchers and students.
They also present the final design and the current implementation of the cloud
using Apache CloudStack. Finally, they discuss how other universities could
implement their own software makerspace and its benefits.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYT1HA6krU4&amp;si=2OD0flTkxgZvRV9x&amp;controls=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" src="/assets/images/19-makerspace-13de1016967333e4b68b1faeb3865270.png" title="Building a Software Makerspace with CloudStack" width="1576" height="724" class="img_ev3q"></a></p><iframe src="https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/ghw7Vj1Kvco7t?hostedIn=slideshare&amp;page=upload" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="drbd-deep-dive-philipp-reisner">DRBD Deep Dive, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipp-reisner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Philipp Reisner</a><a href="#drbd-deep-dive-philipp-reisner" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to drbd-deep-dive-philipp-reisner" title="Direct link to drbd-deep-dive-philipp-reisner"></a></h3><p>LINSTOR/DRBD became a primary storage option for Apache CloudStack nearly two years ago.

storage and networking. The hardware that the VMs access is implemented in
software and/or by passing through a dedicated hardware device. Software-based
solutions consume extra CPU cycles, thus resulting in poor performance. Also,
these require to expose a device-model to the guest, thus increasing the attack
surface. Conversely, hardware passthrough provides better performance and
security but can be expensive in terms of the number of physical resources,
since each device is dedicated to a single VM. This talk focuses on how Vates is
working on sharing hardware resources among VMs by relying on dedicated
processors named Data Processing Units (DPU). More precisely, Vates work on
offloading Xen hypervisor of storage emulation by relying on Kalray K200 DPU
PCIe controllers, a hardware accelerator based on MPPA architecture.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZQ2_f4FC6o&amp;si=P7rsd8zjrN24i8JL&amp;controls=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" src="/assets/images/30-DPU-d3dfdd5beb8c9248c31696481327db22.png" title="Enabling DPU Hardware Accelerators in XCP-ng" width="1152" height="535" class="img_ev3q"></a></p><iframe src="https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/toAUvWJuD5HvnH?hostedIn=slideshare&amp;page=upload" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="cloudstack-object-storage---an-introduction-vladimir-petrov">CloudStack Object Storage - An Introduction, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladimir" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Vladimir Petrov</a><a href="#cloudstack-object-storage---an-introduction-vladimir-petrov" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to cloudstack-object-storage---an-introduction-vladimir-petrov" title="Direct link to cloudstack-object-storage---an-introduction-vladimir-petrov"></a></h3><p>CloudStack 4.19 introduces a new framework for object storage.
