About us
GOALS. The goal of Cloud Nirvana is to create a Central Ohio CCOE to uplift the capabilities of practitioners and their companies to thrive in a multi-cloud world. VALUES. Cloud Nirvana is built on a few key values; when tough decisions need to be made, these values will serve as our “North Star”... COMMUNITY ABOVE ALL: We are here for the community, to give, and pay forward, without worry about what we will get back in return. Cloud computing is a broad ecosystem with many layers and overlapping concerns with other disciplines and forums. Cloud Nirvana will enhance and amplify the various stakeholders and forums to strengthen our collective impact. OPEN-SOURCE: Cloud Nirvana aspires to create a Community Cloud Center of Excellence (CCOE) based on open-source principles. The hallmarks of the open-source movement are community and transparency. We believe in the power of transparently working with our community to harvest the best ideas, solutions, and patterns, and making them available for all. FOCUS ON THE JOURNEY: Cloud Nirvana acknowledges that the journey is as important as the destination; collectively succeeding, failing, and learning with a sense of innovation and experimentation are the key to success. #STAYFOOLISHSTAYHUNGRY

🌟 The Silicon Heartland Just Got Stronger: Cloud Nirvana Launches in Cincinnati Thursday was a huge milestone for Cloud Nirvana - our inaugural Cloud Nirvana Cincinnati - and Cincinnati absolutely delivered! A huge thank you to CBTS for hosting us with such tremendous hospitality. Your team made the day seamless, warm, and welcoming, and we couldn’t have asked for a better home for our inaugural Cincinnati event. 🔥 Three Big Insights from the Day 🎤 From Todd James, CEO, Aurora Insights: Pilots don’t win - scale does. Todd challenged all of us to stop celebrating experiments and start building AI capabilities that deliver real enterprise value. His four-E framework - Explore → Experiment → Expand → Embed - makes one point abundantly clear: the graveyard sits between experiment and expand. 🎤 From Bharath Prabhakaran, VP & Chief Digital Officer, University of Cincinnati: Student success is the ultimate use case. Bharath showed how the University of Cincinnati is using AI to deliver real outcomes for students - not theory, not hype, but tangible impact. From operational improvements to academic support, UC is applying AI where it matters most: improving the student journey. And yes, BearcatGPT was a highlight - a fantastic example of practical, human-centered innovation. 🎤 From the Panel (Moderated by Tracy Ruberg): AI can’t live on the side of the desk. Greg Adams, VP of IT, Drees Homes and Ryan Kean, CIO, Total Quality Logistics made something very clear: transformation only happens when AI is aligned to core business outcomes. If AI remains a “nice-to-have” buried under daily pressures, it will never scale. But when it’s tied directly to growth, operations, and customer experience, momentum builds - and teams rally. 🙌 Thank You to the Cloud Nirvana Cincinnati Expansion Team! Rackspace Technology | Advanced Technology Consulting (ATC) | Callibrity | CBTS | Expedient | Glean | Presidio | The Circuit Thank you for helping bring Cloud Nirvana to Cincinnati and for embracing our practitioner-led, vendor-free movement with such enthusiasm and support. 💙 Shoutout to the Cloud Nirvana Team 💙 Cloud Nirvana exists because of the dedication of our amazing team who selflessly made the trip to Cincinnati to make this event happen: Jonathan Erikson, Ben Blanquera, Trent Taylor, Michael Fulton Thank you all for pouring your heart into this movement. 🚀 Cincinnati - this is just the beginning Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, asked thoughtful questions, and helped make Cloud Nirvana Cincinnati such a meaningful moment. We’re excited for everything ahead - in Cincinnati, across Ohio, and throughout the Silicon Heartland. Let’s keep building.
