Learn how to run your data centre like a cloud at our March after-work event


We’re excited to invite you to our in-person Infra Masters event, an informal post-work event to be held at our London office at the end of March.

At this in-person event, you’ll have the chance to rub shoulders with your colleagues in the cloud space, learn first-hand how open source infrastructure can have colossal impacts on your operating costs and business growth, and unwind with coffee, cocktails, and light refreshments. In the last year, we’ve rolled out several remarkable successes in infrastructure deployments: our systems are doing everything from helping space agencies double their number of space missions, to helping organizations slash their total cloud costs by nearly a quarter of a million dollars, to becoming the backbone of 5G access to over 75% of the UK population – and this event is the perfect place to share our lessons with you.

Where: 5th Floor, 3 More London Riverside, 3 More London Pl, London SE1 2RE

When: March 31, 2025 at 15:30 GMT

Here’s a sneak peek at what a few of our customers have to say about us:

“Whenever we came across a problem, Canonical was absolutely front and centre. The attitude was always ‘let’s work on this together’. It was a real collaborative exercise”.

Gary Roberts, Director, Network Cloud, BT Group

“We wanted one partner for the whole on-premise cloud because we’re not just supporting Kubernetes but also our Ceph clusters and managed Postgres. These were all the services that were needed and with this we could have one nice, easy joined-up approach.”

Michael Hawkshaw, Mission Operations Infrastructure IT Service Manager, ESA

So, whether you’re looking to migrate from proprietary solutions (like VMware), repatriate your workloads, or modernize your infrastructure with a cloud-native approach, join us at our Infra Masters event this March. It’s the perfect place to learn how Canonical’s open source infrastructure solutions give you efficiency and choice, no matter what your infrastructure challenges or business goals are.
