The DevOps movement has enabled organizations to leave behind months-long pro
-
curement cycles and instead get the infrastructure they need in a matter of hours, or 
even minutes. While many organizations have benefited from this automation, even 
greater  gains  can  be  realized  when  the  application  development  and  hosting  plat
-
form  provides  capabilities  further  up  the  stack.  Automated  workflows  and  tooling  
help developers access what they need, when they need it. With easy-to-manage pro
-
cesses and integration, developers can improve productivity and deliver apps faster. 
A  shared  multi-tenancy  environment  lets  apps  scale  automatically  to  handle  peak  
workloads.

The Open Cloud Day 2016 is all about promoting open cloud technologies and the interoperability of clouds. We aim to bring together the companies and academic institutions and deepen the understanding of the latest trends and technologies in cloud computing.

On this day we bring together another important event in the area of Cloud Computing: the SDN Workshop! This is a joint activity between the Service Engineering Research Group of the ZHAW and SWITCH. The SDN Switzerland group meets biannually to promote and share knowledge and implement new applications in the area of Software Defined Networking in the cloud. The workshop allows a full picture of ICT approaches, industry solutions, innovations and research results on SDN. The group is mainly represented by Swiss entities however, research labs from around the world are invited and represented.
