hello everyone
i'm glad to see like uh welcome we are
all all here and uh this is the third
year of cloud village and uh we could
have we could not have been here with
all you folks
so
yeah we decided to to go virtual this
year as well we will like we have folks
like our crew members everyone is just
uh scattered across different places and
we just thought it would be the best
idea to to do this virtual this year and
make it seamless and probably next year
we'll be on site
so with that let me uh start uh
i like i have a quick little
presentation for you which basically
covers uh what are we going to cover
with
with cloud village uh what do we have in
they can store for you for next three
days
uh
and again welcome to cloud village let's
get started
so uh while we're doing virtual coverage
like last year uh
we are still covering talks we are still
covering tool demos we're still covering
workshop ctf is there and uh the most
beautiful part about virtual is there is
no limit to number of attendees and we
enjoyed that privilege last year and i'm
glad this year we were able to do that
along with defcon's blessing and
let's hope we have fun doing all of this
so uh the schedule looks like this uh we
have streamlined it like a little better
as compared to last year uh we're gonna
be there for all three days we start at
10 a.m uh all the times our pacific time
uh we want to make sure that people who
are attending uh
uh
the club uh like the other villages and
def con at the same uh like timeline so
we aligned our timeline to yours
we have uh
our our ctf is again there uh we've uh
we've had immense privilege to to host
this
last two years and uh
we've got some neat feedback and i hope
uh this year also folks uh enjoy it
so ctf registration is on uh so like
anyone who wants to go and register just
go ahead i'll like i'm gonna show you
the ctf link in a while uh thus the
challenges would be live uh at 11 am pt
uh which uh uh today
the ctf stage on all the challenges
stays on uh uh till 12 a.m uh like 12
p.m uh 8th of august and
the winners would be announced on 8th of
august
at the closing note which is 1305
so we're doing like last year we are
streaming everything on our youtube
channel while we have discarded
everything up the ch the live streaming
would be that like would be done on
youtube channel only is the channel link
make sure you subscribe to it so that
you get notification uh either way you
can just tap into the channel and get
going with the like with the live stream
which is the which is there um obviously
you guys are here as well
uh one quick change we have done is uh
like adhering to defcon's code of
conduct we have this year we've uh like
we've learned like it'll be good to keep
the chat close so like last year you
cannot
post questions you have regarding any
specific talk on the youtube chat but
what we have done is we have like we've
created a google form for it you will
find that in the chat you would have
seen that in twitter tweet as well you
can use that form to to post the
questions you have you just have to add
your name or handle if you like to and
just post the question one quick uh
request is that make sure the questions
which you are posting on a google form
they are in that duration of time when
you have your talk uh like when the
respective talk is going on otherwise it
will get a pretty like you'll get a
little cumbersome for the moderator team
to really uh like align the question to
the respective talk so please make sure
you're posting those questions at the
respective talks timeline for any other
details anything you want to know about
the schedule about the ctf about where
the stream is all of those details you
can you can find out on our cloud
village website the link is there
uh cdf portal is the link for cdf portal
uh this year we've kind of streamlined
it a little better this now you just
have to do ctf.cloudhypenvillage.org
and you'll be greeted with the portal
register yourself register your teams
and have fun playing
you have any queries you can uh tweeted
us to us
like tweet to us on cloud village
channel uh like uh twitter channel and
you have like the discord channel as of
now is open as well you can go to defcon
discord channel go to cloud village
general text
and uh you can post your queries there
as well
so a little about the talk little
details uh we have 13 talks this year uh
40 minutes each uh with five minutes of
q a time we have two lightning talks uh
15 minutes all these stocks obviously
like we've tried our best to to make a
uh like a setup where we have a decent
like we we just don't have aws we have
aws azure uh gcp all the other cloud
technologies which are there and and i
have like i have a good feeling about
this you might really like us uh like
our uh
like lineup of talks
uh we have uh four tool demos in place
uh
four speakers are using their tools so
that's pretty neat and
these five minute break time is
basically for q a if there is no q a
then we will see the break uh screen
come up and uh will tap in again at the
exact time for the next talk
we have two workshop uh like every year
uh we
we generally try our best to have
workshop at the end of every day so
fridays and saturdays you have two and a
half hour workshop what uh the end of
the day workshop also helps uh the
speakers and the attendees to extend it
if it if it's really required so that
you make them make the best out of the
workshop the first one is about
kubernetes 101 you would
like really enjoy it and the other one
on the saturdays onions and cloud
communication as your channel as i said
uh feel free to tweet
like on cloud village underscore dc
channel or defcon discard channel you
can find cloud village there
sponsors where would we be without our
sponsors they help us
make our logistics work seamless they
help us get everyone together they
obviously take care of a lot of uh uh
back and forth which we have to do to to
make this whole event uh
as a reality and uh
i would like to thank our sponsor which
is clouded here cloud link
so far see those updates we have so the
city of registration portal got open at
7am we already have around 150 players
registered into it we have 41 teams
which are registered already i know a
lot of you are
attending def con
in person as well i would obviously
request you to stay safe out there
we
the thing about virtual
like coming to the third point thing
about virtual uh
villages that we have our crew members
in different time zones you guys like
attendees are in different time zone
we try our best that we learn from the
past we learn from the current and fixed
things but ensure sometimes here and
there things do not work as expected we
do fix them as soon as possible we learn
from it and we make sure we don't do
that in future but one request i have is
you bear with us in this whole process
and the last point which i would want to
mention is uh
we are very confident that next year you
you guys would not have to just uh do
the virtual cloud village we'll be on
site next year and we look forward to
looking uh to meeting all of you in
person
at the last i would like to thank uh
defcon to give us this opportunity to be
here our speakers you here and here
again you bring quality talks to us and
uh
we've always received really good
feedback from attendees who are coming
in
and the workshops the talks the tool
demos the lightning talks the whole nine
yards they're just fun to be at i
personally enjoy them a lot as well uh
speaker ops team
the like
you would right now see joffrey as the
face last year sharon was there but
there are a bunch of people who are just
working in the background the work
started a few months back on this and
they
they regularly sync up with speakers and
and make sure everyone is comfortable
with the environment and they do a lot
of heavy lifting for us
ctf team you guys have been there uh the
challenges are there for you uh built by
ctf team they've been working hard on uh
for past few months i hope you guys uh
attendees enjoy uh like playing the game
uh the challenges they're pretty neat
challenges out there and obviously we'll
have winners uh the first second and the
third team so uh have fun playing it
social media team uh all the all the
movement you see on twitter that's all
done by social media team and review
team we have very good review team which
makes sure that we get all these decent
uh set of talks uh coming in and
shortlisted and last but not least
attendees we we really love the uh the
exposure and the support we got last
year with the virtual village and we
thoroughly enjoyed it and this
this basically gave us confidence to do
it virtual this year as well
and
we look forward to having fun
with it and i hope you enjoy what we
have in store for you for next three
days
that's it from my end
