Learn about the establishment of an experimental open cloud infrastructure for researchers, staff, and students through this 13-minute conference talk from DevConf.CZ 2025. Discover how Red Hat Waterford and the Walton Institute at SETU collaborated to create the first European extension of the Mass Open Cloud Alliance (MOC-A), inspired by the Mass Open Cloud model. Explore the innovative approach of recycling a supercomputer in a liquid-cooled data center to provide OpenShift and RHEL access with bare metal capabilities. Understand the public-private partnership model that enables SETU to handle operations while Red Hat provides technical support and the RH-OCTO team conducts initial testing. Examine the project's growth trajectory, including additional storage infrastructure funding and the integration of an IBM Z LinuxONE mainframe. Gain insights into the current configuration, user management approaches, identity systems, virtual machine deployment, fine-tuning strategies, and future expansion plans for funding and growth in this collaborative cloud computing initiative.
