ShapeBlue will once again be supporting the Apache CloudStack project exhibiting at CloudFest 2026. Members of the ShapeBlue team will be present throughout the event, working alongside other CloudStack community contributors at the Apache CloudStack booth (R36).
From March 23–26, 2026, CloudFest returns to Europa-Park in Rust, Germany, bringing together the global internet infrastructure and cloud community for four days of discussion, collaboration, and technology exchange.
CloudFest provides an important opportunity for CloudStack users, operators, and contributors to connect in person. The event attracts service providers, infrastructure architects, and cloud builders who are actively designing and operating large-scale platforms, making it an ideal setting for open technical discussions and knowledge sharing.

Supporting the CloudStack Community
At CloudFest 2026, ShapeBlue team members will be available at the CloudStack booth to hold conversations around real-world CloudStack deployments, architectural design, and ongoing project development. This includes sharing experience from production environments, answering technical questions, and helping attendees better understand how CloudStack can be used to build flexible, open cloud infrastructure.
The booth also serves as a central point for community interaction, where attendees can meet contributors, discuss current challenges, and explore how the CloudStack ecosystem continues to evolve.
Why CloudFest Matters for CloudStack
CloudFest has become a key event for infrastructure professionals looking beyond proprietary platforms. As organisations reassess long-term technology choices, open-source cloud management solutions such as Apache CloudStack play an increasingly important role in delivering control, transparency, and flexibility.
By supporting the CloudStack project at CloudFest, ShapeBlue continues its long-standing commitment to the open-source community and to helping operators make informed decisions about their cloud infrastructure.
If you’re attending CloudFest 2026, be sure to stop by the Apache CloudStack booth at R36 to meet contributors, ask questions, and learn more about the project.
