Times and further information will follow soon. We look forward to meeting you and exchanging ideas with you.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201eMaking cloud sovereignty measurable: The quantification in practice test\u201c<\/h3>\n<p>Digital sovereignty has long been an integral part of strategic risk management for businesses, including when selecting a cloud provider. In practice, however, there is no independent and effective basis for assessment: how can I determine a provider\u2019s level of sovereignty without falling prey to \u2018sovereign washing\u2019?<\/p>\n<p>We present a practical application of quantifying digital sovereignty within a cloud stack. The DISQU quantification serves as a standard for measuring digital dependencies. Based on the results, potential users of the cloud infrastructure gain a detailed insight into the existing dependency structures.<\/p>\n<p>Methodology: We present our quantification method and the associated dashboard. This serves as a strategic cockpit that visualises lock-in risks and highlights options for action to ensure a resilient IT strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Practical example: Together with Cloud&amp;Heat, we\u2019ll demonstrate how a robust cloud infrastructure can be set up in practice. As well as the specific setup, we\u2019ll also discuss the challenges and opportunities involved.<br \/>\nDigital sovereignty in the Cloudstack \u2013 Which specific dimensions of sovereignty need to be analysed? Quantification in a practical test \u2013 Where do the practical hurdles lie, and which dependencies pose the greatest challenges in terms of diagnosis and resolution? Strategic implementation of sovereignty \u2013 How can a cloud provider such as Cloud&amp;Heat use the results to offer users increasingly resilient, transparent and future-proof products and services?<\/p>\n<p>Benefits for participants: You will receive a tried-and-tested framework to objectively assess your own cloud strategy, enabling modern risk management and strategic independence.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc6 Thursday 10 December 2026<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd54 4.00 pm \u2013 4.45 pm<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f Maria Vaquero (Cloud&amp;Heat Technologies), together with Marcel Beyer and Anastasia V\u00f6hringer (Disqu)<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd Session to be announced<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>\u201eOpen source from infrastructure to end users: A sovereign stack on SCS standards\u201c<\/h3>\n<p>The Sovereign Cloud Stack (SCS) initiative is creating an open cloud ecosystem that is independent of individual cloud providers, with the aims of freedom of choice and digital sovereignty. A growing number of SCS-certified offerings is making the ability to switch between cloud providers a reality.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to work with software providers to extend the freedom of choice and autonomy from SCS right through to end users. After all, it is only at that point that the true value of the entire stack becomes apparent.<\/p>\n<p>In our talk, we would like to present such a holistic open-source stack: building on Cloud&amp;Heat\u2019s SCS-certified OpenStack infrastructure, the Cloudogu EcoSystem \u2013 as an operating platform for tool stacks \u2013 extends control right through to end users. Together, we enable the use of modular, integrated tool stacks (such as project management and software development) on any infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it possible to switch between tool providers and infrastructure operators \u2013 as called for, for example, by the Deutschland-Stack \u2013 a reality.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc6 Thursday 10 December 2026<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd54 2.00 pm \u2013 2.45 pm<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f Felix A. Goebel (Cloud&amp;Heat Technologies) together with Johannes Schnatterer (Cloudogu)<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd Session to be announced<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>\u201eAutomagical GitOps deployments of Proxmox Virtual Environments\u201c<\/h3>\n<p>When operating PVE clusters, traditional approaches to \u201eDay 1\u201c and \u201eDay 2\u201c can be time-consuming and prone to human error.<\/p>\n<p>This presentation focuses on how hypervisor infrastructure can be managed using a declarative approach. It demonstrates how Git can be used as a \u201esingle source of truth\u201c to manage Proxmox VE clusters and automate deployment using YAML and Ansible.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc6 Wednesday 9 December 2026<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd54 5.00 pm \u2013 5.45 pm<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f Lucas Trilken (Cloud&amp;Heat Cloud&amp;Heat Technologies)<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd Session to be announced<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>\u201eSustainable software needs energy-efficient data centres\u201c<\/h3>\n<p>The foundation for energy-efficient IT applications lies in a sustainable supply infrastructure. This article examines the factors that influence the energy efficiency of IT infrastructures and the legal requirements arising from the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and the Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG) for data centre operators in Germany. In doing so, we examine key energy efficiency indicators and provide an overview of the current status of the data collected under the EED.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we offer an in-depth look at server cooling methods and compare them in terms of energy efficiency and their potential for waste heat recovery. Given the sharp rise in energy demand from data centres, sustainable operation will only be possible through the consistent use of waste heat. Data centres offer previously untapped potential to drive the \u2018heat transition\u2019 and make a significant contribution to achieving Germany\u2019s climate targets.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc6 Wednesday 9 December 2026<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd54 10:00 \u2013 10:45<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f Stefan Kuitunen (Cloud&amp;Heat Technologies)<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd Session to be announced<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to the discussions during the presentations, as well as before and after the IT Days.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IT Days is a four-day German-language IT conference held in Frankfurt am Main and has been a key platform for knowledge exchange, networking and shaping future IT strategies for over ten years now.
