ADLS Workshops 24.5.2022
The Austrian DataLAB and Services Project invites you to a training and workshop day in the context of an Austrian wide science cloud. We offer Kubernetes (Beginner/Intermediate) and Docker (building and working with docker) trainings, as well as the following talks (with a lot of demos) on „Security in the cloud and compliance“, „virtual HPC“ and „Openstack vs. public cloud providers“. The meeting will take place face to face in Vienna on the 24th of May and registration is required. We would also ask you to bring your own Laptop (see prerequisites below). Please register here. Due to room limitations we can not guarantee a spot for everybody, thus we ask for a small motivational statement at the registration why you are interested and where you see your own skill level.
Prerequisites for Training:
- Please bring a recent laptop and a Smartphone with the Microsoft Authenticator App installed, you will receive an invite from Azure Active Directory in your email-inbox, please follow the instructions therein to configure MFA.
