The ALASCA Tech-Talks provide a platform to showcase solutions that have the potential to improve the digital sovereignty of cloud infrastructures and services, as well as for use cases that rely on these digital sovereign infrastructures and services.
This is where techies meet techies. They are united by their conviction in open source software for the operation of cloud applications and the common goal of establishing digital sovereignty in Germany and Europe.
The ALASCA Tech-Talks have been held once a month since January 2023 and enjoy a loyal listenership. You too can become part of our ALASCA Tech-Talks - whether as a listener, co-discussant or speaker. We look forward to seeing you!
Look forward to the following tech talk in October:
Abstract Tech-Talk #30
Christian Berendt (23Technologies GmbH)
The NeoNephos Foundation is an open-source initiative of Linux Foundation Europe, officially launched in March 2025. It emerged from the IPCEI-CIS funding programme and promotes a radically open architecture for a multi-provider cloud-edge continuum - eliminating vendor lock-in by design.
The vision: Cloud-native applications should run seamlessly across any environment - from hyperscalers to on-prem to edge. Data is processed locally, reducing latency, energy use, and transfer costs.
At its core is Kubernetes as a universal control plane - not just for containers, but for automating entire infrastructure stacks, down to bare metal. The consistent use of the Kubernetes Resource Model enables a unified API from data centre to edge.
Instead of a monolith, NeoNephos builds a platform mesh - an ecosystem of currently eleven specialised open-source projects, usable individually or as a coordinated whole.
This Tech Talk introduces these eleven projects and shows how they combine to shape the cloud-edge continuum of the future.
We have already enjoyed the following speakers and topics in the past. Of course, you can also watch all the tech talks you missed on our YouTube channel. Just click your way through.
We are always looking for exciting topics for our ALASCA Tech-Talks. Do you have an open source project that you would like to share and discuss with the community? Great, then share your Tech-Talk idea with us and become an active part of the ALASCA Tech-Talk community.
Give us a brief pitch of your Tech Talk idea via our contact form. We will review your proposal internally and get back to you as soon as possible. We are also happy to support you in finding ideas. Just get in touch with us.
