100% uptime for a service is unrealistic, with the cost of marginal improvements becoming exponentially costly. This talk will highlight how Google Cloud uses SLOs and Error Budgets to provide uptime guarantees for our external customers, while also being able to aggressively launch new products/features and remain cost competitive at scale.

As Linux and opensource continue to expand into all areas of IT, sysadmins need consise way to manage patches, deployments, security, and configurations to name just a few. The new Uyuni project intends to answer those questions and more.  
This presenation will introduce Uyuni and give a demo of usecases across several Linux platforms and architectures.

Explore what a totally open source workflow for small game development teams might look like. Video game production requires a cross section of just about every technical and artistic discipline that exists. Drawing, painting, modeling, sound design, game engines, photogrammetry, and so much more, all now have open source tools that run natively on Linux. Let's talk about pros and cons, and how all these tools can fit together.

Virtual filesystems (VFS) are the magic abstraction that makes the "everything is a file" design possible. VFS play an important role in embedded Linux, namely enabling the read-only root filesystems that underly, for example, "live CDs." Linux has a variety of VFS, notably /sys, /proc and /dev. Why so many and what differentiates them? We'll peek at internals of some VFS in order to better understand how they work. Via simple demos, we'll look at how these filesystems are implemented and used. A final VFS-related phenomenon is mount namespaces, which are a major enabler for containers.

Container Storage Interface (CSI) is an open source project that aims to define an industry standard volume plugin interface for exposing storage to containerized workloads. It emerged from a cooperation between Kubernetes, Mesos, Cloud Foundry, and Docker and has the support of major storage vendors.

When you deploy containers in a production setting, a lot can go wrong if you unleash unconstrained container images directly from the Internet. This session will explain how a private registry can allow governance along with security, performance and reliability advantages. We will explain Harbor, an open source container registry – starting with simple use cases and going into advanced topics such as policy driven replication and role based access control, integrated into CI/CD workflow.

Topic: Open Data

Many people live in the UNIX shell as a part of day-to-day activities since the shell is a fundamental interface, and provides lots of facilities to get work done. But when it comes to working with data we usually resort to specialized tools (numpy, R, excel, etc). This is an annoying disconnect. I present some ways to bridge this divide, and to bring data analysis into the shell.

Data science is awesome! However, there's a lot of work that needs to be done before you can automagically make predictions, find unknown patterns, and discover trends in your data. This tutorial will walk you through the entire data science life cycle. We'll start at the end with a look at how developers can easily integrate pre-trained open source deep learning models from the IBM Developer Model Asset Exchange (MAX) into their applications. You will learn how to deploy deep learning models using open source technologies and open standards. Sponsored by IBM.
