Cloud and Linux Team Lead in CERN IT

With a degree in physics and a PhD in Computer Science, Arne joined the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) as a system engineer more than 15 years ago. Initially working on distributed file systems and the low-level tape infrastructure, he moved to the cloud team in 2014 and eventually became responsible for the operation of CERN IT’s OpenStack based private cloud infrastructure. Currently, he acts as the lead for the Cloud and Linux teams in CERN IT. He contributed upstream to various projects over the years (such as Cinder, Manila, or Ironic), is a regular speaker at OpenInfra events and an Ironic core member,  has joined the Technical Committee and acts as the chair of the OpenStack Bare Metal SIG.
