Cyber threats consistently rank as a high priority for data center operators and their reliability teams. As increasingly sophisticated attacks mount, the risk associated with a zero-day attack is significant. Traditional responses include perimeter monitoring and anti-malware agents. Unfortunately, those techniques introduce performance and management challenges when used at large VM densities, and may not work well with containerized applications.
Fortunately, the Xen Project community has collaborated to create a solution which reduces the potential of success associated with rootkit attack vectors. When combined with recent advancements in processor capabilities, and secure development models for container deployment, it’s possible to both protect against and be proactively alerted to potential zero-day attacks. In this session, we’ll cover models to limit the scope of compromise should an attack be mounted against your infrastructure. Two attack vectors will be illustrated, and we’ll see how it’s possible to be proactively alerted to potential zero-day actions without requiring significant reconfiguration of your datacenter environment.
We'd like to invite all of our women attendees to join each other for a networking lunch at LinuxCon + ContainerCon. This is a chance to connect with each other onsite. We will begin with a brief introduction and then guests will be free to enjoy lunch and mingle with one another. All attendees must identify as a woman and will need to register to attend.
Register to attend today! Spots are limited and available on a first come, first serve basis.
Microsoft has been involved in open source initiatives by enabling, integrating, releasing and contributing to the ecosystem for well over a decade. But how are we applying the learnings from our journey into the Linux ecosystem? Join us to learn what our approach to open source is, and what it means for Linux users. In this keynote, Wim Coekaerts, CVP Microsoft Enterprise Open Source Group, will take you through this (arguably unusual!) journey into the cloud - and how we plan to take it to the next level with Linux.
Systems of engagement and control in distributed computing environments, are changing Linux system administration strategies. These next-gen applications, potentially based on cloud services at or close to the edge of the network, will be largely container-based microservices that may be deployed to dozens or hundreds of distributed sites. These applications will create opportunities for greater innovation today than at any recent time in the past. This session will outline a vision for Linux in cloud-based distributed computing environments and some of the challenges to deliver on that vision.
Product Management Group Vice President - Oracle Linux and Virtualization
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has undertaken a large-scale development effort called "The Machine" which represents a radical departure – what HPE calls “Memory-Driven Computing” -- from traditional computer architectures. The software that makes The Machine possible includes open source projects and HPE is committed to develop this new enabling software as open source.
We don’t want to do it alone. That means that YOU are a critical part of what will make The Machine and Memory-Driven Computing possible.
In this session Grant Likely, Distinguished Technologist, Hewlett Packard Linux at Hewlett Packard Enterprise will explain why he joined HPE, offer his insights on the software that drives The Machine and how you can get started bringing this game-changing platform to life. This keynote is intended to be a continuation of the “Hardware and Software Architecture of ‘The Machine’” keynote that was presented at LinuxCon NA 2015 by Keith Packard.
Olaf will take a look at where Linux came from, and what he thinks made it successful. He will also take a peek into the future and venture some opinions on how Linux will continue to evolve successfully.
Arjan van de Ven, Sr. Principal Engineer & Director of the Open Source Technology Center at Intel, will talk about what it takes to push boundaries and battle assumptions in open source; featuring the Clear Linux OS Linux distribution, containers, cloud orchestration and pictures of cute kittens.
In this session, we will show you how to set up an automated CI/CD process within your workloads in just a couple of hours using the Virtuozzo DevOps platform. We’ll demonstrate how you can build continuous and automated flow from your source code, both to the build system and to the staging/testing environment. You’ll also find out how Virtuozzo DevOps can help you be more efficient in production—thanks to zero downtime deployment, high availability across regions, and smart traffic distributor. With Virtuozzo DevOps, you will achieve complete automation of your application lifecycle with no service interruption for your customers.
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. When things go wrong, and our services are impacted, we need to tell the story of our failures so that we can grow and learn as team. Postmortems offer us an opportunity to share this knowledge, so that we can build on our successes and avoid repeating our mistakes in the future. In this session we will discuss how Datadog runs our internal postmortems from data collection to building timelines to the blameless review. Attendees will leave with a framework they can apply right away to make postmortems more impactful in their own organizations.

FOSSology is an open source license compliance software system and toolkit. As a toolkit, you can run license, copyright and export control cans from the command line. As a system, a database and Web user interface provide you with a compliance workflow. License, copyright and export scanners are tools used in the workflow.
Analyzing open source license compliance requires expert knowledge. As a consequence the use of the tool requires understanding of license analysis porblems and how they are covered by FOSSology. This training will therefore provide the following elements:
The course allows and encourages to perform the presented functionality in a hands on manner. Attendees use their computers to directly perform presented tasks on their own FOSSology application. As an open source project, anyone can easily install FOSSology using a pre-built docker image from docker hub or vagrant / virtualbox on most platforms.
This course will be valuable to anyone concerned with and involved in Open Source Management, including operational and legal executives, software development managers, open source program managers and developers. It requires basic understanding of software licensing. If not, itis recommended to have performed the training Compliance Training for Developers (LFC191) available here.
About the Instructors:
The FOSSology Steering Team will administer the course.
Additional fee of $600 required.
When Open Source Software is critical to the success of your organization, it requires Professional Open Source Management. This full-day course, taught by Greg Olson and Bill Weinberg of the Linux Foundation Open Source Consulting team, will cover fundamental concepts of Professional Open Source Management, illustrated with real-world examples.
This survey course is organized around the key phases of developing an Open Source Management program:
Within these phases, the following topics will be covered:
This course will be valuable to anyone concerned with and involved in Open Source Management, including operational and legal executives, software development managers, open source program managers and developers.
