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 March:
ALASCA Tech-Talk #37
Introducing Cyberus Hypervisor: an open-source, BSI-accredited hypervisor for European cloud sovereignty.
Tor Lund-Larsen (CEO at Cyberus Technology GmbH)
There are too many hypervisors “out there” to count. Why do we need another one and what is so special about the Cyberus Hypervisor?
In this talk, we introduce the Cyberus Hypervisor: a lean, BSI-in-accreditation virtualisation layer built on Linux KVM/Cloud Hypervisor, written in Rust, co-developed and supported in Germany. We compare our hypervisor with other open-source alternatives such as QEMU and explain why Linux KVM/Cloud Hypervisor is the right foundation for workloads requiring VS-NfD accreditation; a security level for classified documents in the public sector by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
We will share the status of the project, walk through real-world deployment scenarios and use-cases, share benchmark data, and show how Cyberus works within the open-source community.
We will talk about our technical and accreditation roadmap touching on topics such as Confidential Computing and block-storage crypto - asking, in closing, what requirements for virtualisation features and accreditations that you, the ALASCA community, have?
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.
