Steven is an Architect and Open Source Technology Evangelist at Red Hat. In the last 30+ years he worked as a developer and transitioned to an infrastructure and operations architect across a broad range of Unix and Linux technologies. For most of that period he’s used Open Source technologies to solve business problems, and on many occasions recover lost data. His "Dwarf Axe" of a home lab has evolved over the last 20+ years, and currently tries to strike the balance been features and an ever increasing power bill.
In his spare time he still hacks on the MythTV project and debugs Open Source on random bits of hardware that really should know better.

Abstract
We're at the point where the vast majority of services we need day 2 day are available online, either via Google or Microsoft, or a variety of 3rd party providers. They've made it easy to consume these services across a range of devices providing a seamless experience. As concerns rise around Data Sovereignty, and who really owns your data when you're using these cloud services , do we need to look again at what we can self host.
I'll look at the different personas from the individual, families, small businesses and large scale organisations. What are your options today from the "traditional" approach of virtualised environments versus utilising container based services for better efficiency of resources. When should(n't) you consider SaaS options, and always remember the importance of an off-site backup.
I've been through this journey personally and evolved my own environment over many years. In addition I’ve worked with large organisations who've migrated from on-premesis to cloud based solutions and are now re-considering their strategy. Along the way there will be some war stories, with names changed to protect the "innocent", and some pointers and tips to help your own journey.
