Meet Canonical at OpenSearchCon 2024 in San Francisco


OpenSearchCon, the annual conference that brings the OpenSearch community together to learn, connect, and collaborate, is happening in San Francisco on 24-26 September. The three-day event will give users, developers, and technologists across the OpenSearch Project a chance to explore real-world successes and dive deeper into search, analytics, security, and observability – the primary use cases for OpenSearch.

Canonical is a proud member of the OpenSearch community, and our team is delighted to join the conference for the 3rd time in a row. This year, we’ve prepared insightful keynotes and a special announcement to share at the conference. 

Don’t miss out our talks

Gustavo Sanchez, Field AI Engineer at Canonical, will present on “Future-proof AI applications with OpenSearch as vector database”.  The vector database is a new and unique database that is gaining immense popularity in the LLM space. This database effectively stores and manipulates vector data for large datasets used in machine learning use cases. Join the talk to explore how OpenSearch, as a vector database, can be a strong foundation for GenAI applications. Learn more about the talk. 

Our second talk, delivered by Mehdi Bendriss and Michelle Tabirao, is all about simplifying OpenSearch operations in hybrid clouds –“Deploy, Manage, Observe: An OpenSearch Operator for easier hybrid cloud operations, at scale”.

Managing OpenSearch at scale across hybrid cloud environments poses significant challenges. It requires manual effort, advanced administrative knowledge, and familiarity with various cloud platforms. In this session, we will introduce an open-source IaaS operator designed to simplify the deployment and management of OpenSearch for high availability, scalability, and observability. Don’t miss the live demo illustrating the operator’s capabilities with a mixed deployment fleet. Learn more about the talk
