Annual High Performance Container Workshop @ISC

The High Performance Container Workshop series assembles thought leaders to provide the 'state of containers' and the latest trends since 2015.

For 2024 the 10th Annual High Performance Container Workshop was accepted as a half-day workshop for the ISC24 and was held on Thursday 5/16, 9AM - 6PM.

Friends of HPC Containers Boat Trip

After two years of having the Friends of HPC Containers Boat Trip, we did assemble again on the evening before the workshop (5/16, Wendesday at 6:45PM). We get abord a little ship and cruised on the Alster in Hamburg and - a nice evening with small bites and drinks. Learn more

We were able to get a couple of sponsors to support us! Thank you very much - without that it would be impossible to pull the workshop and boat trip off!

Platinum Sponsors

UberCloud was one of the founding members of the workshop in 2015. UberCloud decided to help sponsor the boat trip. Thank you very much!

Agenda

For our 10y years anniversiry we got back to the roots and had a full day workshop. We had a roundtable on the different workloads and workflows, a roundtable on communication, community updates, a segment on containers as first-class objects, perspectives from sites and vendors, a segment on security and a final panel/Q&A.

Do to our switch from one room to another in the middle of the session and some logistical issues we do not have all recording. Sorry about that. :/
