T2: KEYNOTE CLOUD
- "Cloud-first" Is No Longer Enough: Moving Toward an Optimized AI Infrastructure
“Cloud-first” has long been the rule. But when it comes to AI workloads and constraints related to cost, latency, sovereignty, compliance, and energy consumption, this principle is reaching its limits. Should AI be run in the public cloud, in a multi-cloud environment, in a hybrid setup, at the edge, or on-premises? The choice of infrastructure has become a strategic decision, where performance, cost control, and vendor dependency must now be balanced.Speaker(s) -
T3: CLOUD AND CYBER IN ACTION
- "Cloud-first" Is No Longer Enough: Moving Toward an Optimized AI Infrastructure
As the cloud expands into industrial environments, security can no longer be an afterthought. Access, data, monitoring, technical dependencies, business continuity: every architectural choice can create a point of vulnerability or strengthen resilience. Should we wait to make corrections after systems are deployed, or should we build security in from the design phase? A discussion on the trade-offs that must be made early on to protect industrial environments before an incident occurs. -

- Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
Where is data hosted, who has access to it, and under which jurisdictions? These questions are now at the heart of organizations’ digital strategies. This workshop will provide an in-depth analysis of the links between data governance and cloud sovereignty, the growing role of the SecNumCloud framework, and organizations’ expectations regarding trusted cloud services. The discussions will be illustrated by the Ministry of the Interior’s experience and a sharing of its vision and commitments … Read More -

- Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
In any cloud architecture, the majority of actual dependencies are concentrated in five critical layers: orchestration, identity, execution, data, and governance. For each of these, the question is strategic: do you control this component, or is someone else controlling it on your behalf? SUPERPHENIX is a Kubernetes-native, open-source, and industrialized cloud platform that enables operators and organizations to build and operate their own cloud, without relying on proprietary stacks … Read MoreSpeaker(s) -

- "Cloud-first" Is No Longer Enough: Moving Toward an Optimized AI Infrastructure
Discover how AIOps transforms infrastructure management by anticipating outages before they affect your users. Through real-world use cases, we’ll explore how to combine proactive monitoring with comprehensive control to automate incident resolution. Join us to regain the edge and take your network performance to the next level. -
T2: KEYNOTE CLOUDFor fifteen years, the cloud has transformed the way we think about infrastructure. But the rise of AI, vendor consolidation, changing costs, sovereignty issues, and the resurgence of hybrid infrastructure are once again changing the rules of the game. The challenge is no longer to choose between the cloud and on-premises solutions, but to build an infrastructure capable of combining the two, scaling as needed, and—above all—preserving our freedom of choice. And what if reversibility… Read More

T3: CLOUD AND CYBER IN ACTIONSponsored by:
When a cyberattack occurs, tools alone are no longer enough. You have to make quick decisions, communicate under pressure, coordinate teams, and manage information that is sometimes contradictory. And it’s rarely the best time to figure out everyone’s roles. Drawing on the experience of HeyCyber, a startup specializing in cyber crisis management exercises, this presentation explores a critical issue: how to practically prepare an organization to face a cyber crisis … Read MoreSpeaker(s) -

- Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
The sovereign cloud has become a stated imperative. But behind the rhetoric, dependencies remain strong. Multi-cloud is often presented as a solution for regaining control, but does it truly reduce exposure? Between legal constraints, infrastructure choices, energy consumption, and cost trade-offs, decisions are becoming more complex. A practical look at the trade-offs that shape cloud strategies. -

- Control vs. Freedom in a Multi-Cloud Environment
For twenty years, managed services have been based on a simple model: billing people to monitor screens, escalate tickets, and execute runbooks. This model is collapsing in the face of environments that have become too complex, too fast, and too critical for human intervention. Alexandre Pereira, founder of 2501, introduces a paradigm shift: agent-based AIOps. Not a co-pilot that makes suggestions, but autonomous agents that diagnose, decide, and remediate in production, through environments… Read MoreSpeaker(s) -

- Cost and energy are reshaping AI strategy
The choice of infrastructure is no longer based solely on performance, cost, or sovereignty. As energy needs skyrocket, energy is emerging as a key constraint in cloud and AI architectures. Where to deploy, how to scale, and what trade-offs to accept? A discussion on the growing role of energy in technical decisions.

- Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act are imposing more obligations on organizations and software vendors. But is this simply an additional layer of red tape, or a fundamental shift in how systems are designed? Traceability, security by design, product liability: do these regulations truly redefine system architectures? A discussion on the structural impact of the new European requirements.Speaker(s) -

- Cost and energy are reshaping AI strategy
AI investments are on the rise, but funding models remain unclear. Should costs be absorbed as CAPEX, should OPEX be prioritized through the cloud, or should decisions be made based on usage and the criticality of workloads? In an uncertain economic climate, these choices have a lasting impact on technology strategy. Here’s a look at the financial trade-offs that shape the industrialization of AI.Speaker(s) -

- Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
Digital sovereignty is at the heart of the European political and regulatory debate. The AI Act, NIS2, the Draghi report—everything points to the same urgent need: to regain control of critical infrastructure. But in reality, most organizations cannot answer a simple question: Can you migrate out of your current cloud in less than six months, without data loss or service disruption? If no one can answer that, then sovereignty is just rhetoric, not reality. This … Read More -

- Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
Reversibility is often discussed but rarely built into the architecture from the design phase. Proprietary formats, specific APIs, and technical dependencies: switching away from a provider quickly becomes complex and costly. We offer an alternative to proprietary solutions for the AI data lifecycle. The goal is to help any company or government agency that wants to design AI systems that are reliable, robust, sovereign, and reversible from the very start. Inria has developed a solution based on … Read More -

- Sovereignty and exit are becoming design choices
Reversibility is often mentioned in contracts but rarely incorporated into the architecture. Proprietary formats, technical dependencies, and integration debt: switching away from a vendor quickly becomes complex and costly. Planning for an exit from the outset requires fundamental decisions regarding standards, data, and interfaces. A strategic discussion on reversibility as a full-fledged engineering discipline.
