Openness is a core pillar of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and our commitment to the open source community will be on display next week at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2019 in Barcelona.
Cloud native technologies and methodologies can help startups scale up and enable established enterprises to transform their businesses. But this transformation can create cultural challenges and technical complexity. The keynotes, sessions, and panel discussions that we have planned for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon will tackle these topics and more. Here’s a preview.
How Containers Are Like Cookies
Monday, May 20, 6:30 p.m.

Building a Bigger Cloud Native Tent
Wednesday, May 22, 9:27 a.m.
The two biggest obstacles that organizations face as they adopt cloud native technologies are cultural changes and technical complexity. Cloud native initiatives should make more of an effort to include traditional on-premises applications and their users. In this keynote, Bob Quillin, Vice President of Developer Relations, will discuss opportunities to do just that.
Democratizing HPC and AI
Wednesday, May 22, 2 p.m.
Resource-intensive workloads such as high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) have traditionally been out of the realm of possibility for startups. But the cloud and cloud native technologies are changing that. In this panel discussion moderated by Emily Tanaka-Delgado, Director of Developer Relations Engagement, startups Sauce, iGeolise, Gapsquare, and ELEM Biotech will share their stories of scaling up with the cloud.
