The conference, guided by the Open Source Cloud Computing Industry Alliance (OSCAR) and co‑hosted by the GreatOPS community and the Open Operations Alliance (OOPSA), marked the 16th edition of the event, the largest and longest‑running operations industry summit in China, aimed at disseminating advanced technical ideas and best practices to a wide audience of operations and development professionals.
