OSDC 2017 – How it went on!

After the talks on Wednesday were finished, two OSDC-VIP buses stood in front of the MOA Hotel. After all attendees found their seats, we drove threw the whole city and finally reached the Umspannwerk Ost.
Bright Sunshine, perfect. As in the last year, there was a huge variety of culinary delights. Due to the bright sunshine till the evening hours, most of us sat outside the listed building, which is the oldest substation in Berlin. With some soft drinks and yummy food (look at the pictures), the evening ran its course.
As a little surprise for the attendees, we organised a kicker. Not a standard kicker, but a kicker for more than four persons. It was really funny!
And so the hours passed until the third shuttle VIP-Bus brought all of us back to the conference hotel. After a very short night, the talks for today started on time. What the talks are about, you can find out in Michi’s Blogpost after the conference has been finished.
For our events team, it’s now the final spurt, before the post processing may start tomorrow. We hope, all attendees have an interesting second conference day and a save journey home!

OSDC 2017 – How it all began

On Monday evening, there was a group of some very excited NETWAYS guys, who arrived in Berlin to prepare the OSDC. After the rooms were ready for the workshops on Tuesday, the pizza for our busy bees was definetely rewarded. Then it was still very late and so they all fell into a deep deep sleep before the bewitched bell was ringing again. Then at 10 o‘ clock, our Workshops started. There were „Graylog – Centralized Log Management“ by Jan Doberstein and Bernd Ahlers, „Terraform – Infrastructure as Code“ by Seth Vargo and „Mesos Marathon – Orchestrating DOcker Containers“ by Gabriel Hartmann. The attendees learned a lot and we hope theres a little space left for the talks on Wednesday are Thursday! Then the NETWAYS – Crew started with the last preparations for Wednesday and then the first conference day was already gone! After a joyful night with our beloved Tele-Inder (classic Berlin Späti), the conference started with Bernd’s Opening and talks. What the talks are about, you can read in Dirks Blogpost! But we’ll only say this much: It was equally interesting new things and fun! ? The pictures will follow!

OSDC – News compact

We hereby proudly present our new OSDC-App! Everything that you need to know can be found in it. The program, the evening event, the workshops, directions and information on the speakers. In the OSDC- App you will find everything an attendee may desire. Except from food, but you will get that in the hotel.
Apart from the great new App we have loads of OSDC-news for you! The conference takes place soon, so it is definitely about time that we explain why you should come to Berlin, and what makes the OSDC so special.
The first day launches off with three workshops:

Graylog – Centralized Log Management | Terraform – Infrastructure as Code | Mesos Marathon – Orchestrating Docker Containers

We emphasize the importance of small groups, limited to 12 persons, to ensure an optimal learning atmosphere. Thereby the coaches are able to react to individual needs and requests.
The second and third conference- day are fully packed with top-notch talks. Among others the companies Elastic, Chef, CoreOS, RedHat, Hashi Corp and Travis CL will be represented. Here a small taste of our program:

Seth Vargo (Hashi Corp)| Modern Secrets Management with Vault
Mandi Walls (Chef)| Building Security Into Your Workflow with InSpec
Casey Callendrello (CoreOS) | The evolution oft he Container Network Interface
Monica Sarbu (Elastic) | Collecting the right Data to monitor your infrastructure
James Shubin (RedHat) | Mgmt Config: Autonomous systems
Mathias Meyer (Travis Cl) | Build the Home of Open Source Testing, Without the Datacenter

In the evening of the second conference day, there will take place a special evening event , which gives a special charm to the conference. There will be enough time to review the day and meet each other for interesting discussions.
And of course many many more! The other speakers can be found on www.osdc.de and of course in our fabulous app!
