VM-Friendly Networking on Kubernetes: Customizable Networks, Live Migration, and Best Practices - Surya Seetharaman & Miguel Barroso, Red Hat

Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST

G001-002

Bringing virtual machines into Kubernetes introduces unique networking challenges, especially in public cloud environments. Traditional Kubernetes Networking plugins, designed for ephemeral containers, fall short in supporting virtualization-specific needs like stable IPs during live migrations and network segmentation. This talk explores how the CNCF projects OVN-Kubernetes and KubeVirt work together to provide networking that supports the needs of virtual machines on Kubernetes.

OVN-Kubernetes is a robust network plugin for Kubernetes clusters. KubeVirt is a virtualization plugin that manages the lifecycles of VMs on Kubernetes. In this session, we will introduce these projects and walk you through:

- How to set up multiple, customizable networks in Kubernetes

- How to connect your applications and VMs to separate, isolated networks

- How to perform live VM migration across Layer 2 networks without downtime

- Best practices for configuring your networking setup based on your platform—whether you're running in the cloud or on-prem

Join us to learn how to build flexible, VM-friendly networking on Kubernetes.

Quantum Curious? Your Cloud Native Launchpad for K8s-based Quantum Simulations - Anmol Krishan Sachdeva & Samrat Priyadarshi, Google

Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST

G109

Intrigued by quantum computing but unsure where to begin? This beginner-friendly session charts a practical path using accessible, open-source tools. Discover how open-source Python libraries like Cirq and Qiskit makes defining your first quantum circuits for simulation surprisingly straightforward. We'll then explore how to take these Python-based simulations, package them into standard containers, and run them directly on Kubernetes – the ubiquitous platform for modern applications.

See a live demo running a basic containerized Python-based quantum simulation as a standard Kubernetes Job, showcasing deployment in this powerful environment.

We'll also map the road ahead: as needs scale, understand how the open Kubernetes ecosystem could support advanced management via CNCF tools (like Kueue) for K8s-native queueing and HPC scheduler integrations (like Slurm) for larger batch workloads.

Get a clear roadmap from your first Python script to running Quantum Simulations on K8s, understanding the path towards tackling larger challenges using open, cloud-native approaches.

Rebooting the Republic: OS Operating Systems for Governments - Alexander Smolianitski, Zentrum Digitale Souveränität

Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST

G105

What does it take to switch an entire public sector workspace to open source, including backend services and operating system? Backend services are deeply integrated with the IT architecture of the German public sector, making them challenging to replace. A recent feasibility study undertaken by the German Centre for Digital Sovereignty (ZenDiS) has investigated the legal, economic, and technical viability of replacing proprietary operating systems and backend services with open source alternatives in government agencies. Additionally, the study has explored the possibility of adopting an "ultramobile-first" strategy, where smartphones and tablets with OS operating systems, such as Android, are used as primary devices, and specialised applications are accessed through web browsers. The talk will discuss the findings of the study and the potential implications for the introduction of OS operating systems in the German public sector.
