In this talk, we will explore what metrics are available to look at communities. By leveraging these metrics, participants will gain insights into community health, engagement levels, and the overall effectiveness of support strategies. Join us to discover how data-driven approaches can enhance our efforts in building and sustaining vibrant open-source ecosystems. We will take a look at metrics from the OpenInfra communities and have an open conversation with the audience about what we’re seeing. We will field questions live and dive into the data together.
Open-access communications platforms on the Internet have made building social capital more critical than ever for connected digital citizens. Focusing on the Discord platform, this presentation explains the effectiveness of its features in making community building and social capital accessible for users. As online communities continue to rise in popularity and usage, digital leadership becomes ever more important and valuable. Join Alex Moral to learn more about key principles in building social capital online, starting a community from scratch and becoming a digital leader.
Nix is a powerful build system that enhances and simplifies software development workflows. 'Linux from Scratch' is a well-known guide to building a customized Linux operating system from source, designed for gaining a deeper understanding Linux system internals. In this talk, we will share the journey of using Nix to build Linux from Scratch, as well as the challenges faced, insights gained, and epiphanies discovered along the way.
With explosive growth of data and micro services, Observability has become expensive, complicated, and slow. This talks explores why it's expensive and has become hard to debug issues quickly.
This talk explores both the legacy and state of the art approaches to handle cost, and performance in observability systems. It also explains why this is complicated to get it right, why people end up choosing one over the other. Finally, explores with all the recent innovations, if we can achieve both fast and cheap observability.
Delve into the often-overlooked aspect of open source hiring: the candidate experience. Discover how open source companies can elevate candidate experience to drive reputation, community advocacy, and future hires. This talk covers key strategies in automation, transparency, and policy, giving hiring teams actionable steps to create a standout candidate experience.
This workshop will address the toughest issues. Do you freeze up during interviews? How do you know when a job offer is the right one? What do you do if you have been out of work for a long time? Need help understanding how to negotiate? This training is in a group environment to offer maximum support and feedback.
A behind-the-scenes look at how our small systems engineering team manages our infrastructure. This is centered around MySQL and MongoDB.
We'll go through real-world implementation with code examples, showing how we:
- Built a flexible automation framework that adapts to new technologies
- Created a sustainable way for a small team to manage enterprise-scale infrastructure
- Turned "those #@$% servers" into well-behaved, predictable systems
Ceph is an open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability. It runs on commodity hardware, has no single point of failure, and is supported in the Linux kernel.
This tutorial will describe the Ceph architecture, share its design principles, and discuss how it can be part of a cost-effective, reliable cloud stack.
Explore the evolving integration of CephFS with OpenStack Manila in this session, where we’ll delve into the unique features CephFS brings to cloud file systems. We’ll cover the trade-offs of CephFS Native and CephFS NFS, highlighting practical reasons why each might not fit all use cases. Wrapping up, we’ll look at future innovations, like the SMB driver and VirtIOFS, that promise to expand functionality and use cases for OpenStack file sharing. Join us for a deep dive into these powerful tools and their future in cloud architecture.
In this talk, you will learn how to use Sunbeam – a cloud-native OpenStack powered by Kubernetes – and Charmed HPC to streamline the deployment and management of modern HPC clusters. You will learn how to use Sunbeam to set up OpenStack, and how to dpeloy Charmed HPC on top of OpenStack. Lastly, you will learn how to set up Kubernetes next to your HPC system to provide services such as identity management and observability metrics.
Setting up a modern HPC system does not need to be a dark and stormy process - it can be as clear as day with Sunbeam!
