+
+
+We're revealing the full agenda for [the upcoming CloudStack European User
Group in
London](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/autumn-edition-cloudstack-european-user-group-2025-tickets-1366848914899?aff=oddtdtcreator),
a must-attend event for anyone working with or interested in open-source cloud
infrastructure. This year's agenda brings together leading experts from across
the CloudStack ecosystem to share real-world use cases, technical deep dives,
and community discussions.
+From building Tier 1 infrastructure and exploring the future of orchestration,
to enabling scientific research and rethinking performance metrics—there’s
something for everyone. Whether you're a developer, architect, or
decision-maker, this event is your opportunity to connect, learn, and shape the
future of Apache CloudStack.

+
+###### 10:00 - 10:30 Registration and Morning Coffee
+
+###### 10:30 - 11:15 Welcome, Community, News and CloudStack 101 – [Steve
Roles](https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveroles/), COO,
[ShapeBlue](https://www.linkedin.com/company/shapeblue/)
+
+Steve will talk about this group and the community, and will also provide an
introductory overview of CloudStack, covering its core features, architecture,
and practical use cases. Attendees will gain insights into how CloudStack
simplifies cloud orchestration, supports multiple hypervisors, and integrates
seamlessly with existing IT infrastructure. He will also present the CloudStack
news, talking through recent releases and new features.
+
+###### 11:25 - 11:55 Apache Cloudstack: Powering research in Apiculture,
Aquaponics, and advanced networking, [Mike
Hinsley](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-hinsley-b29b5234/),
[Objectway](https://objectway.com/)
+
+Exploring how Apache CloudStack serves as a versatile infrastructure
foundation for innovative research in apiculture, aquaponics, and advanced
networking. The practical implementations including IoT sensor networks for bee
colony monitoring, automated aquaponics control systems, and complex network
testbeds using EVE-NG Pro with SONiC virtual switches. How open-source cloud
infrastructure can power cutting-edge agricultural research while providing the
scalability, flexibility, and cost [...]
+
+###### 12:05 - 12:35 Design and Build a Tier 1 Infrastructure for Your
CloudStack Cloud – [Nikolay Tenev](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ntenev/),
Solutions Architect, [StorPool](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storpool/)
+
+With more cloud options available to your customers, you need an edge to stay
ahead. In today’s service economy, the biggest differentiating factors are the
services you offer, and the reliability of those services. To provide the best
services, you need the best infrastructure. In this session we’ll discuss how
to build infrastructure that will make it easy to offer – and meet – service
level agreements (SLAs) for:
+* Uptime – 5 nines uptime plus eliminating the need for maintenance windows
+* Performance – as measured in IOPS, throughput, and latency
+* Scalability – scale up or scale out quickly as needed
+* Disaster Recovery – offer a premium service tier
+* Cost Savings – Linux KVM with CloudStack is a far more cost-effective
alternative to ESXi with VMware Cloud Director
+
+We’ll show how you can offer all of this while simplifying your operations,
automating your daily workflows, and reducing staff bottlenecks.
+
+###### 12:45 - 13:15 Double the Savings on Repatriation with an Ampere
Combination – [Pete Logan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/petelogan/), Principal
FAE – EMEA, [Ampere]( https://www.linkedin.com/company/amperecomp/)
+
+It’s established now that moving workloads off hyperscalers will reduce TCO,
but you can offer more when dropping that onto Ampere CPU based systems through
better efficiency and high utilisation. Pete Logan from Ampere describes how,
using the joint architecture with CloudStack & Shape Blue. Bonus: you can port
your Graviton and other Arm workloads directly too!
+
+###### 13:15 - 14:15 Lunch
+
+###### 14:15 - 14:40 Latency is all that matters, not bandwidth – [Wido
den Hollander]( https://www.linkedin.com/in/widodh/), CTO, [Your.
Online](https://www.linkedin.com/company/youronline/)
+
+Everyone talks about increasing bandwidth, faster download and upload speeds,
NVMe PCIe 5.0 devices pushing gigabytes per se
+cond. But what if bandwidth isn’t the real bottleneck? Latency is far more
important. I’ll explore why latency matters more than raw speed and why it
matters in CloudStack.
+
+###### 14:50 - 15:35 CloudStack Extensions Framework (XaaS) - Enabling
Orchestrate Anything + Demo - Lucian Burlacu, Cloud Architect,
[ShapeBlue](https://www.linkedin.com/company/shapeblue/)
+
+This session will demonstrate the flexibility of the new Extensions Framework,
allowing cloud builders to integrate custom services, orchestrators, and even
third-party hypervisors directly into CloudStack’s lifecycle. A game-changer
for extensibility and vendor-neutral operations.
+
+###### 15:45 - 16:20 CloudStack Community Forum: Embracing Open-Source for
True Independence – [Ivet Petrova]( https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivpetrova/) –
Facilitator
+
+An open discussion, where we will highlight the power of open-source
collaboration. As cloud builders seek freedom from vendor lock-in and greater
control over their infrastructure, CloudStack offers a mature, production-ready
platform backed by a vibrant global community. This will be an open discussion,
where everybody can ask for advice, shared experience and good practices.
