Presentations

Shaun Hopper, Chandan Avdhut
Audience: Everyone

We migrated our Slurm based AI research infrastructure to Kubernetes, focusing on a seamless user experience. This required innovative solutions for managing complex systems, including provisioning, authentication, access control, and host management.
We leveraged Kubernetes features to build a scalable and flexible infrastructure, and developed new approaches to configuration management. Join us to learn about our journey and the lessons we learned along the way.

Topic: Observability

We are used to calling Metrics, Logs, Events, Traces as the 4 pillars of Observability. True Observability is not attainable without being able to jump from one pillar to another. Exemplars promote the same from Metrics to Traces. Over the years, we have found extreme value in being able to use Exemplars for other things such as making tail sampling decisions, enriching alerts with sample traces and finally serving longer term Exemplars out of our tracestore built on top of ClickHouse. In this talk, we discuss how metrics and traces go hand in hand through the concept of Exemplars.

Topic: PostgreSQL

This talk will mention about the world of extensions of PostgreSQL.

Shaun McCance, Justin Flory, Carl George
Audience: Intermediate
Topic: Workshops

Learn about the ecosystems in the Fedora and CentOS projects, and how you can package software for both. We will present an overview of the Fedora project followed by an overview CentOS ecosystem. We'll show how both systems are developed and what the various special interest groups are doing. We will then provide a packaging workshop where you can learn how to package your favorite software, whether you want it in Fedora, EPEL, a CentOS SIG, or just for your own personal use.

Topic: DevOpsDay LA

In DevOps, we often interact with networks via ingress/egress, routers, subnets/IP addresses, and firewalls, but can we learn anything from our experience with these while improving our professional network? In this age of layoffs and AI, ensuring we are authentically connected to our communities is more important than ever. Let’s take what we’ve learned from systems networks and apply it to our professional network.

Alok Ranjan
Audience: Everyone
Topic: Observability

Dropbox’s observability journey showcases the transformation from individual server log-ins to a centralized, open-source solution. In this talk, we’ll explore the deployment of Loki and integration with Grafana to manage terabytes of log data daily. I’ll discuss scaling techniques, optimizing query performance, and unifying logs and metrics to streamline troubleshooting and enhance security.

Topic: Cloud Native

Static environments like staging, qa and dev are major bottlenecks in microservices architecture which slow down the development process. In this talk, we present a tool we've developed and use at GoodRx that automatically creates ephemeral environments from GitHub pull requests managed directly by a comment block in the pull request. This enables developers to quickly test, share and get feedback on their changes in isolated, disposable environments. We will share our journey in building this tool, discuss its integration with existing workflows and its future.

Jimmy McArthur
Audience: Everyone

Join us as we zero in on the virtualization market in North America and hear how OpenStack providers are building cloud-native migration strategies for their customers. Our panel of experts will be moderated by Jimmy McArthur, Director, Business Development at OpenInfra Foundation. 

 

Carlos Eduardo da Silva, Goutham Pacha Ravi, Ashley Rodriguez
Audience: Developer

Attendees will understand how developers identify bugs/features to work on, create contributor accounts, develop the code change, test it against an OpenStack deployment and submit it for community code review. As seasoned core maintainers of OpenStack, we can share strategies we have learned to engage with the community and get these code changes merged. We hope this session will serve as a quickstart to in-person audiences who get to follow along hands-on.

Amy Marrich
Audience: Beginner

Learn more about OpenStack as a whole, the different services and how to get involved.
