Welcome to the landing of the first OpenStack Summit in Hong Kong in the coming November 5-8. It is the first time that the Summit leaves the US and it has chosen Hong Kong as its destination. The OpenStack Summit is a signature event that gathers world-class and local leaders and experts in the open source community under one roof to discuss all things OpenStack.

Riding on this remarkable occasion and the launch of the first community cloud in Hong Kong – the Cyberport Community Cloud – an OpenStack User Group Meet-up will be held by the China and Hong Kong OpenStack User Group prior to the Summit.

The meet-up will see renowned cloud technology pioneers and OpenStack experts discussing the latest in OpenStack. Topics include the architectural design of OpenStack, case studies on deploying OpenStack solutions, upgrade orchestrations, and the best approaches to identifying user requirements, profiling the user community and supporting ongoing user activities. You will learn the ins and outs of deploying cloud solutions on the open source cloud platform, and see what the future holds for them and for you.

Cyberport Community Cloud is the first HK community cloud, offering easy-to-use and self-provisioning Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to all Cyberport tenants, start-ups and local ICT companies for them to execute their own IT-enabled business change initiatives in a more agile, cost-effective and joined-up manner. It will be officially launched by Hong Kong Cyberport on the same day of the Meet-up.
