Presentations
The on-premises operator -- tasked with running elastic, virtual infrastructure on brittle hardware in their own datacenters -- has been broadly ignored, told by the industry that they don't exist at all. In this talk, we'll discuss the forgotten operator: how they have been failed by the industry, why they persist despite it -- and why the problems that they have historically faced alone are more important than ever.
systemd (with lowercase S and D) remains up until this day, both one of the most critical pieces of a system, and the least understood one.
This workshop is designed to go in detail and explains how you can harness the power of systemd to solve common problems, including some that you didn't even know you had. What problems do you ask? You’ll have to come and see.
As companies and products scale, so does their complexity, susceptibility to cascading failures, and value as targets for adversarial entities. This is a talk about the difficulties and dangers of running an application at global scale, and why it takes so many people to do it safely.
This talk will go into some of the challenges faced in overhauling Linux's resource isolation and control capabilities, and how we've gone about fixing them. This will include some of the most complex and counter-intuitive practical effects we've seen in production, with details of how our expectations and knowledge have developed over the last 5 years using this on over a million machines in production, with insights that are immediately applicable to anyone who runs Linux at scale.
The Fediverse is a collection of communities that is a bit of a throwback to a smaller, more personal time on the internet. There are services for short messaging, audio and video sharing, and event organizing, among other things. Explore how you might wish to join into the rich, new world that has more of a resemblance of the internet as it was envisioned to be.
Most organizations opt to run multiple environments and use configuration data to drive the behavior of their applications in them. In K8s, secrets are used to accomplish this for sensitive data. As a result, the usage of secrets is a very common pattern. However, there are many known vulnerabilities that exist around secrets. This talk is aimed at helping teams create a secure lifecycle for storing, sharing, and consuming secrets
On a long enough timeline, every system will eventually go down. This then creates a situation where an organization experiences an incident. In this session, we will discuss a Ceph incident we experienced, the timeline of events, how it was triggered, what we've learned, and how we've made decisions to improve.
PostgreSQL 16 is slowly approaching feature freeze state, and at this point we have at least some ideas of what features will be included. This talk will take a quick look at what's in there already, and what's in the queue!
Join two Presto Committers, Beinan and Chunxu to learn how to accelerate distributed SQL workloads for big data in the cloud. They will introduce the core concepts of Presto, Alluxio, Iceberg and how this combined stack brings performance, scalability, and reliability to a variety of use cases, including real-time dashboards, A/B testing, ad-hoc analytics, and warehouse ETL jobs. As part of the talk, they will also discuss the challenges and the lessons learned when migrating Presto and Alluxio to the cloud.
