This talk explores the pivotal concepts of immutability and atomicity and their potential to shape a more resilient future for operating systems. We delve into how these principles, exemplified in distributions like Micro OS, Vanilla OS, and Silverblue, are driving a paradigm shift in the world of Linux. The adoption of immutability and atomicity is shown to enhance the robustness, security, and maintainability of Linux systems, with a focus on the crucial aspects of consistency and reproducibility for heightened security and reliability.

This workshop explores the integration and impact of generative AI tools in DevOps and DevSecOps. We aim to comprehensively understand how tools like Large Language Models (LLMs), LangChain, LangSmith, and vector databases (RAGS) can be effectively utilized in modern software delivery and security practices.

Inspektor Gadget is a CNCF Sandbox project that empowers developers to easily build custom system inspection pipelines to debug low level issues. This presentation will introduce the process of creating, packaging, and distributing 'Gadgets' (OCI Images combining eBPF programs, wasm modules, and metadata). We will show how Gadgets and Inspektor Gadget framework can be used to collect, enrich, and export data to tools like Prometheus or expose data via an API all based on a simple config file.

If you’ve been on the Internet, you almost certainly know what an IP address is. Hint: No, it’s not “Internet Position”. But it’s not that simple is it? IPv4 is widely understood, and IPv6 is scary! Network addresses are also factored into how IP addresses are used and managed. We subnet, supernet, delegate prefixes, route networks, track aggregates, assign IP addresses, and so on! How should you properly parse network addresses and IPs? What’s the difference anyhow? Which tools are best and how do I know which to choose?

Dive into the insights and lessons learned from my personal venture in building a distributed infrastructure with commodity hardware. Discover the alternatives to conventional cloud providers, the magic of ZFS, the importance of backups, automation and alerting for an enriched personal cloud storage experience. Explore this feedback on my project, utilizing exclusively FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) tools.

We want it to be fast, reliable and flexible. We want JSON and we want OLTP with ACID. Can all it work together or we need to choose 2 out of three of our wishes again? What technology can help to speed up the JSON queries? A couple of different approaches for JSON data analytics.
Kubernetes once favored etcd for metadata, as earlier relational databases fell short in scalability and availability characteristics. Over time, as k8s workloads came across several etcd limitations, relational databases continued to advance.
This session shows how Kine integrates into the Kubernetes architecture, enabling distributed relational databases for cluster metadata storage.
