Keynote: Collaboration Beyond Code - Jilayne Lovejoy, Principal Open Source Counsel, ARM
Software is involved in all of today’s products. We all know that where there’s software, there is usually open source software. Gone are the days when one company could solely make a product itself. This results in an environment in which the same players are both competitors and allies dependent on each other.  Such dependence works best when it is based on trust and does not need to rely on information from behind  closed doors. OpenChain is an example of how collaborative models can be applied to create trust in the software supply chain and improve business practices. Jilayne will introduce OpenChain and show how collaboration goes beyond code.

Keynote: Blurring the Lines: The Continuum Between Containers and VMs - Graham Whaley, Sr. Software Engineer, Intel

We all use containers and VMs, even if implicitly through the cloud, but so far the implementers choice has been 'VM or container?'. But it does not have to be that way, and it should not be that way - there is a continuum of features and benefits across the container/VM spectrum, and you should be able to choose which point on that continuum best suits you.

Projects such as Intel's Clear Containers are enabling this continuum and bringing the ability to choose the best of both worlds to the container ecosystem.

Flotilla – Containerized Network Function Deployment at Enterprise Branch Offices - Sumanth Mysore Sathyanarayana, Deutsche Telekom
Traditionally network functions were getting deployed on specialized hardware appliances. But with the advent of Network Function Virtualization, these infrastructure services are now getting deployed as software inside VMs. This talk is about how Flotilla’s framework could be used to deploy these Network Functions inside containers and in doing so, understanding the benefits and challenges. Flotilla primarily provides three important features which are:
1. It acts as a self-service network function portal connecting multiple branch offices to the cloud.
2. It helps to establish dynamic vpn tunnels between the cloud and the branch offices.
3. It acts as a containerized network function deployer at the branch office, thereby bringing down the capital and operational expenses as well as decreasing the time for deployment and modifications required for the network functions.

Putting the Parts Together: Building a Secure Container Platform - Matthew Garrett, CoreOS
General purpose operating systems have to solve many problems, and that means they make compromises. You need to be able to install, upgrade and configure individual components, which means having a large surface area vulnerable to attack. More specialised products (such as phones and Chromebooks) benefit from being able to reduce that surface area. Can we do the same with containers?

Security technologies can be overly restrictive in general purpose operating systems. This presentation covers a range of technologies that can be used unobtrusively and effectively in container-focused designs. It will describe how features like dm-verity can provide filesystem-level assurance that binaries are unmodified, how the kernel keyring can be used to provide immutable trusted key stores, how secure boot can root all of this trust in firmware and how container introspection can stop attacks.

Firefighting Linux Kernel Regressions - Thorsten Leemhuis, Heise Medien GmbH
Learn how to improve Linux by testing new kernels and fighting regressions. Both is easy and in your own interest, as the kernel (which is at the heart of any Linux system) constantly changes. Those changes sometimes break things that used to work; in other cases the performance suffers. These regressions are annoying, but can be fixed easily – however only when noticed and investigated early enough, as it gets way harder to revert a change once it makes it into a new kernel release.

This talk and its live demo will show you how to quickly test upcoming kernel releases without messing up your system. It will also explain how to report problems in case you find any. While covering those areas Thorsten will share some insights he learned while tracking regressions for the Linux kernel versions 4.7 and 4.8.

Why You Hate Security, and What You Can do About It - Casey Schaufler, The Smack Project
Why you hate security, and what you can do about it (Casey Schaufler, Intel) - Regardless of the level at which you're doing your programming, security is going to get in the way. No amount of application abstraction or modern development process seems capable of shielding you from the barriers raised by security.
Let a deep security insider guide you through the reasons we have the security that drives you nuts. Then, with the aid of real world examples, you'll learn how to identify situations where security mechanisms are unnecessary, and the jargon needed to explain this to the people who insist on using them. There are lots of ways to make your life easier beyond turning off SELinux. The things that a developer can do up front to reduce exposure to security mechanisms will be explored. Finally, the issues around security and development process will be exposed.

Kubernetes 101 and Fun - Mario-Leander Reimer, QAware GmbH
Cloud native applications are popular these days – applications that run in the cloud reliably und scale almost arbitrarily. They follow three key principles: they are built and composed as micro services. They are packaged and distributed in containers. The containers are executed dynamically in the cloud. Kubernetes is an open-source cluster manager for the automated deployment, scaling and management of cloud native applications. In this hands-on session we will introduce the core concepts of Kubernetes and then show how to build, package and operate a cloud native showcase application on top of Kubernetes step-by-step. Throughout this session we will be using an off-the-shelf MIDI controller to demonstrate and visualize the concepts and to remote control Kubernetes.

Taming Container Fears - Scott McCarty, Red Hat
Container technology promises greater agility and efficiency when it comes to building and deploying applications—a critical ability in this age of zero tolerance for downtime and great expectations for capabilities on demand. Indeed, containers can provide a technological edge that translates into significant business advantage, but some companies have been leery about adopting the technology because of (very valid) security fears stemming from the way in which containers interact with the OS: Containers share system resources for access to compute, networking and storage, but, unlike virtual machines, all containers on the same host share the same OS kernel. If the kernel is compromised, containers will be compromised--and vice versa.

Tuning Linux to Get the Best Performance from Varnish Cache - Per Buer, Varnish Software
Varnish Cache is used by 2.2 million websites including Pinterest, Vimeo and Tesla to cache web content, maximize web performance and reduce origin-server load. People often want to know how they can squeeze more performance from their Varnish Cache infrastructures. In most cases, the Linux configuration needs some fine tuning as its default configuration is not optimised for a high web performance web server like Varnish Cache.
Googling for tuning advice about Linux when it comes to Varnish Cache does not always yield helpful advice. Much of what comes back is either outdated or not quite right and the tuning advice could have a detrimental effect of your site’s availability.
This practical session aimed at sysadmins will explain how to tune both: your Varnish Cache and Linux. It will run through all Linux’s default values that need to be changed to achieve high web performance..

Secure Application Development in the Age of Continuous Delivery - Tim Mackey, Black Duck Software
Traditionally, when datacenter operators talk about application security, they've tended to focus on issues related to key management, firewalls and data access. By contrast, application developers have a security focus which is more aligned with code analysis and fuzzing techniques. The reality is, secure application deployment principles extend from the infrastructure layer through the application and include how the application is deployed. With the prevalence of continuous deployment of micro-services, it’s imperative to focus efforts on what attackers’ view as vulnerable; particularly in an environment where new exploits are being disclosed almost daily.
In this session we’ll present:
• How known vulnerabilities can make their way into production deployments
• How deployment of vulnerable code can be minimized
• How to determine the vulnerability status of a container

Test-driven Infrastructure with Puppet, Docker, Test Kitchen and Serverspec - Yury Tsarev, GoodData
In this talk Yury Tsarev will go through practical example of building infrastructure-as-code with a strong test-driven approach. While having opinionated tools selection the audience will be provided with generic framework to build on where the components are fully replaceable. Yury strongly believes that infrastructure code should be treated like any other code. This means apply a test driven development model, storing it in a source control system and building a regression test suite. He suggests doing this with Test Kitchen, a pluggable and extensible test orchestrator that originated in the Chef community. Using Test Kitchen’s docker driver, a docker container can be used to simulate a machine under test. Then Serverspec can verify that the configuration code properly setup the machine. Shell mocking is used to bypass external dependencies and docker limitations.

Deploying pNFS over Distributed File Storage - Jiffin Tony Thottan & Niels de Vos, Red Hat
pNFS is the clustered solution provided by standard NFS protocol which allow NFS clients to access directly and parallelly the Storage device. This is achieved by the separation of metadata from the datapath. Therefore pNFS solution provides better bandwidth utilization, loading balancing across storage devices and significant performance improvement for I/O's. Now consider applying the pNFS over a Distributed Storage instead of native NFS. Here instead of talking to single server, pNFS client can interact directly with all the Storage Servers , i.e I/O distribution become much more effective and also avoids performance bottleneck with in a single server. In this session, Jiffin Tony Thottan is planning to give an overview about pNFS, deploying simple pNFS solution on a Distribute File Storage by taking example of glusterfs + NFS-ganesha and challenges involved in while doing so.

Minimizing downtime is at the heart of every IT manager because end users are more satisfied if their work isn't blocked by an system outage. However, downtime is unaviodable if a mandatory system updates must be applied in order to fix a critical security hole. But what if there is a technology that can solve this paradox by updating the system without downtime? The upstream project "livepatch", fed with the best from the distributor specific implementations kGraft from SUSE and kpatch from Red Hat, is about to make that happen for the Linux Kernel itself - the core component of every system, where patching would always require a reboot.

21st Century DNSBLs - Amanda Folson, GitLab
Spammers have been using computers to send unsolicited messages since 1978. However, the first DNS-based blacklist (DNSBL) wasn't created until 1997 -- almost 20 years later. Since then, the practice of spamming has grown at an alarming rate. The mechanics of creating and
managing a DNSBL haven't changed all that much, but the tooling around them has changed drastically. In this talk, we'll discuss how to create a DNSBL, what tools are available to do so, and how to manage the DNSBL once it's set up. Additionally, we'll discuss how to easily migrate and scale a legacy DNSBL system using Docker.

PM Infrastructure in the Linux Kernel - Current Status and Future - Rafael J. Wysocki, Intel OTC
Multiple subsystems in the Linux kernel are concerned with various aspects of energy efficiency. Some of them act on the system as a whole while the others focus on individual CPUs or IO devices. The majority of them have been developed in isolation and they work reasonably well individually, but that is often insufficient to address problems related to contemporary trends in hardware design and growing user expectations. Thus they have to be made work more closely with one another and with core kernel code like the CPU scheduler. Efforts to make that happen are under way and I will describe them. However, in the meantime the existing Linux PM infrastructure has to respond to the users' needs, so I will discuss its current status, the most important problems it is facing and some possible ways to address them.

Container Orchestration: Swarm, Mesos, Kubernetes - Which Conductor? - Mike Bright, HPE
Oh my, as if we didn’t have enough container choices with LXC, Docker, rkt, LXD, we still have to choose a container orchestrator and there are lots of them !

Worse - the choice of orchestrator is the new industry battleground.
Feature sets increase rapidly and industry players are making acquisitions and investments.

It’s still early days in container orchestration and so existing solutions partially overlap meaning that combinations of orchestrators may be needed.

So how should you choose for your use case?

In this talk we’ll take a look at what is orchestration and why you need it.
We’ll look at the main contenders amongst Docker Swarm, Google’s Kubernetes, Apache Mesos as well as Fleet, Rancher/cattle and Juju.

We’ll compare and contrast the existing solutions, look at where they are heading and how you can use them in your solution today and tomorrow.

An Introduction to Linux Control Groups (cgroups) - Michael Kerrisk, man7.org
Control groups (cgroups) are a method of grouping processes for the purpose of monitoring, management, and control. Using cgroups, we can: limit CPU and memory consumption; freeze and resume execution of a group; limit device access; limit the number of processes in a group; and much more. Cgroups are a key building block in modern container systems and are also used in systemd. This tutorial provides an introduction to cgroups, covering both v1 and the recently released v2. The focus is on understanding the operation of the cgroup system itself, rather than going into details of individual controllers. So we'll look at how to create and populate cgroups using shell commands that operate on the cgroup filesystem, and look at topics such as notification, inheritance, and delegation. Bring a laptop so you can walk through some of the examples. No previous cgroups knowledge is assumed.

User Namespace and Seccomp Support in Docker Engine - Paul Novarese, Docker
Isolation in Docker is mainly accomplished via cgroups and namespaces. User namespaces are the newest namespace to be supported by the Docker engine, and allow users to run containers as without elevated privileges, which has been a longstanding shortcoming and frequent target of both user frustration and feature requests. In addition, Seccomp support adds a new method of containment for running containers by providing both whitelist and blacklist based controls of system calls that are permitted and/or forbidden for containerized processes. In this session, we’ll look at these new features, examine basics of configuration, and do some live demos to see them in action.

Efficient Kernel Backporting - Alex Shi, Linaro
In computer/mobile product world, due to the stability, project timeline, etc considerations, latest upstream kernel isn't their preference. The long term stable kernel is. But if you want to some latest features which only is in upstream kernel. You have to backport them to old stable kernel.

This presentation will share the kernel feature backport experience with audience, help them understand how to do backports quickly and effectively without detailed knowledge of the target feature, thus giving more flexibility and Improving productivity when making products.

It will talk by some examples, to discuss how to get info from backport request, how to find necessary commits, how to get dependency, how to resolve conflicts, and finally how to test it.

Building Efficient Parallel Testing Platforms with Docker - Laura Frank, Codeship
Fast and efficient software testing is easy with Docker. We often use containers to maintain parity across development, testing, and production environments, but we can also use containerization to significantly reduce time needed for testing by spinning up multiple instances of fully isolated testing environments and executing tests in parallel. This strategy also helps you maximize the utilization of infrastructure resources. The enhanced toolset provided by Docker makes this process simple and unobtrusive, and you’ll see how Docker Engine, Registry, and Compose can work together to make your tests fast.

How To Write A Linux Security Module That Makes Sense For You - Casey Schaufler, The Smack Project
The traditional Linux security model traces it's fundamentals to the mini-computers of the 1970's. It makes a lot of sense for a machine without a network connection, shared by a handful of friendly collaborators. Linux security modules (LSM) were introduced to address the needs of high security environments. This talk will teach you what you can do with a Linux security module, and what you can't, the difference between a major module and a minor one. Techniques for implementing access controls on files, IPC and sockets will be covered, as will the underlying mechanisms required to maintain the data needed. The difference between inode based schemes and path name based ones will be made clear. In the end you'll have the tools you need to create a module that protects what you care about instead of what seemed like a good idea to a government researcher during the Cold War.

Keynote: Shut Your Laptop and Go to Sleep! - Colin McNamara, DevOps Expert
A discussion on the effect sleep deprivation has on real world DevOps and Agile development teams. This talk will revolve around a real world experience that the SDN Development and DevOps teams encountered over the winter of 2015. We will cover the causes and effects, the points of measurement, how and why we resolved the issue as well as the results from the changes that were made.

In the end the hope is that you leave with a better understanding of the multiple dimensions sleep deprivation and burnout can affect your organization and / or project, and inspire you to make specific positive changes in yourself and your organization.

Keynote: VM Security and Container Workflows, A Case Study - Brandon Philips, CTO, CoreOS

There are many great duos: peanut butter & jelly, movies & popcorn, Batman & Robin. Together we will explore a new emerging one: containers and virtual machines. And how this combination will enable new performant multi-tenant systems.

Virtual machines are an accepted best-practice for multi-tenant systems executing arbitrary user code. And Kubernetes is a trusted platform for managing application infrastructure in containers; enabling speedy scaling and consistent deployments. What emerges when these two technologies come together?

At CoreOS we have combined these two technologies to build the world’s best container build platform. Learn the motivation, architecture, and how we have brought an enhanced experience to our customers using this combination.

One Year of Deploying Applications with Docker, CoreOS, Kubernetes and Co. - Thomas Fricke, Endocode AG
The talk gives summary on one year of experience with containers in production. Rolling out distributed, heterogeneous applications was a difficult task. We present results from real customer projects, using Docker to deploy applications in a rapidly changing environment by Kubernetes and CoreOS.

Following a very strict approach, separating persistent and stateless applications, running everything in small units orchestrated by Kubernetes we could create descriptions of environments very rapidly, deploying complex environments with a single command. Examples in Java, Python and Ruby are shown. Security has been addressed to pass an extensive security audit.

The talk covers also operational challenges as implementing a deployment pipeline. logging under load, monitoring, distribution of passwords and configurations as limits to the containers resource management.

Clang: Much More than Just a C/C++ Compiler - Tilmann Scheller, Samsung Electronics
With the Clang C/C++ frontend built on top of LLVM, Linux developers get a powerful optimizing compiler.
While compiling source code is the core task of Clang, it can also be used for much more than just compiling code: the built-in static analyzer detects bugs at compile time, clang-format allows for automatic source code formatting, clang-tidy enables heavier checks which go beyond traditional compiler warnings, the AddressSanitizer/MemorySanitizer tools help to detect memory corruption bugs early and with LibFuzzer there is an integrated solution for fuzz testing as well.
Various Clang-based source code navigators allow for accurate browsing through even the most complex C++ codebases, where traditional tools like Ctags are struggling heavily.
This talk will introduce the various different tools available as part of Clang and highlight the benefits they provide to Linux developers.

Linux-Kernel Memory Ordering: Help Arrives At Last! - Paul E. McKenney, IBM
It has been said that Documentation/memory-barriers.txt can be used to frighten small children, and perhaps this is true. But even if it is true, it is woefully inefficient. After all, there is a huge number of children in this world, so a correspondingly huge amount of time and effort would be required in order to read it to them all.

This situation clearly calls for an automated tool, which is the topic of this talk, and which is now available in prototype form. This tool takes short fragments of concurrent C code as input, and exhaustively analyzes the possible results. In other words, instead of perusing memory-barriers.txt to find the answer to a memory-ordering question, you can get your answer by writing a small test case and feeding it to the tool. This talk will give an introduction to this tool, describing how to use it and how it works, including a short demo.

entry_*.S: A Carefree Stroll through Kernel Entry Code - Borislav Petkov, SUSE
I have always wondered what happens when we enter the kernel from
userspace: what preparations does the hardware meet when the userspace
to kernel space switch instructions are executed and back, and what does
the kernel do when it executes a system call. There are also a bunch of
things it does before it executes the actual syscall so I try to look at
those too.

This talk is an attempt to demystify some of the aspects of the cryptic
x86 entry code in arch/x86/entry/ written in assembly and how does
that all fit with software-visible architecture of x86, what hardware
features are being used and how.

With the hope to get more people excited about this funky piece of the
kernel and maybe have the same fun we're having.

SFQM & Doctor: Keeping My (Telco) Cloud Afloat - Emma Foley, Intel
Collectd exposes statistics that facilitate more resilient and performant telco/NFV clouds.

It is vital to monitor systems for malfunctions that could lead to users' application service disruption and promptly react to these fault events to facilitate improving overall system performance.

By providing OpenStack with system statistics from collectd, there is more data available, which can be used for monitoring, performance analysis, fault detection, etc. using OPNFV Doctor-prescribed enhancements to OpenStack, action can then be taken to negate the effects of any faults in the deployment.

Gaps have been identified and work to improve OpenStack to enable a more fault tolerant cloud environment is well underway. A key part of this work includes expanding the amount of data available about the system (e.g. DPDK statistics), and improving alarming functionality in OpenStack Aodh.

Tracking Huge Files with Git LFS - Steve Smith, Atlassian
Developers love Git for its raw speed, powerful history traversal, distributed nature, and (of course) the fact that it was originally built by Linus Torvalds. What we don't love is the fact that, out of the box, Git has poor support for tracking large binary files!

Fortunately, developers from Atlassian and GitHub have teamed up to work on an open source, MIT licensed project to solve this problem: Git LFS (Large File Support). This means researchers, web designers, game or desktop application developers, multimedia producers and any other Linux ecosystem participants who need to version large data, rich media, or binaries, can move off legacy centralized systems and start using modern version control.

In this session I'll cover the computer science behind Git LFS' internals & architecture, CLI usage and how to build an effective Git LFS workflow for an open source team.

Demystifying the Storage Management Challenge Using Industry Wide Collaboration - Steven Tan, Huawei & John Mark Walker, Dell EMC
Cloud computing frameworks like Kubernetes are designed to address containerized application management using "service" level abstraction for delivering smart data center manageability. Storage management intelligence and interfaces need to evolve to support "service" oriented abstraction. Having every computing framework reinvent the storage integration makes the storage management more challenging from end user perspective. Moreover it adds significant burden on storage vendors to write drivers and certify for every orchestration stack which is least desirable. Industry wide collaboration is needed to address storage management in an open way that supports traditional and cloud computing frameworks.

Lunch & Learn: NFV, OPNFV & How To Get Involved (Pre-registration Required)

Add this Lunch & Learn to your existing LinuxCon + ContainerCon Europe registration today! This is complimentary and space is limited and available on a first come, first serve basis. 

Network Functions Virtualization, or NFV for short, is transforming the global communications network. Telecom operators, along with cloud service providers and enterprises alike, are recognizing that scaling up to meet nearly insatiable network demands can only be done in a software-defined infrastructure using general purpose hardware. OpenStack has cited NFV as one of its fastest growing use cases and analyst firm IHS Markit predicts the NFV market will reach $15 Billion by 2020. 

Following the open source software development model that has made Linux the world's largest and most pervasive open source software projects in history, industry-leading telecom providers joined together two years ago to create an open platform for network function virtualization - OPNFV. Since its inception, OPNFV has grown to over 50 member companies and 250 active developers. 

Come grab a lunch on us and learn more about the OPNFV project and the many ways to get involved with the technical community. Space is limited so add this free lunch to your registration today! For more information on OPNFV, visit www.opnfv.org and wiki.opnfv.org

Packaging for Linux Distributions with Docker - Bruno Cornec, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Docker has brought an ease of use without comparison with VMs typically to build native upstream distribution packages. Where before it was needed to launch a complete environment, copy the sources into it, invoke the build tools to create the packages and then copy them back to the host, Docker has made all these steps easier and straight forward, allowing for more rapid package production and automation.

This presentation will show and demo a detailed use case for building packages for both Mageia and Fedora with their respective bm or koji tools encapsulated in Docker containers. It should help any upstream packager adopt a similar approach to make his packaging task a breathe.

Also this presentation will explain how Docker support has been added to project-builder.org in order to ease the build of upstream project packages, which is a preparation step to distribution inclusion.

Flowgrind: A TCP Traffic Generator for Developers - Arnd Hannemann, credativ GmbH
During the last decades TCP and the networks it is used in steadily evolved. To aid further development it is crucial to give researchers and developers measurement tools so they can evaluate and analyze their TCP modifications in real world network environments. In this presentation we show our tool flowgrind. Unlike existing measurement tools, flowgrind's distributed architecture allows for an easy setup of complex scenarios (Fairness measurements with different congestion control mechanisms, cross-traffic, separation of test and control traffic etc.). Besides the usual application perceived metrics it can also measure core variables from the operating system's TCP implementation (tcp_info struct) thus enabling the developers to analyze and understand the interactions between TCP and the underlying network.

IPv6 for Server Admins and Client Developers - Thiago Macieira, Intel
IPv6 is the evolution of the Internet Protocol and was created in the late 1990s when it was clear that the then-current version (IPv4) would run out of available addresses soon. Soon after, software was converted to handle IPv6 and the all service providers began offering IPv6 connectivity. Right? Not really. It's been a chicken-and-the-egg problem: no apps supports it, so services don't support it, so no apps supports it. This session will go over the basics of IPv6, how it differs from IPv4 and what client and server developers should be aware of. It will go over the basic socket API and provide instruction for developers on how to write software capable of both IPv4 and v6, seamlessly. It will then discuss how IPv6 and certain features not available in IPv4 can be used for interesting functionality, but also what admins would want to be aware of to protect their systems.

Reimagining OpenStack - Samuel Ortiz, Intel
OpenStack is an open source alternative to proprietary cloud solutions, but customers struggle with deployment, scalability, and performance problems. Design a Cloud today and you’d approach things in a radically different way. Nova, OpenStack’s core compute component, is described as a "bloated busy kitchen filled with technical debt" by an original author. The open source CIAO project (Cloud Integrated Advanced Orchestrator) reimagines Cloud from scratch in the Go programming language. CIAO seeks to demonstrate how to move the needle on performance and meet the demands of the modern cloud. CIAO is fully TLS based, minimal config, easily updatable and optimized-for-speed. Containers and VMs are equal citizen user workloads, providing a scalable elastic cloud. This presentation will highlight CIAO’s innovative architecture and compare implementation details relative to OpenStack.

How Secure Is Your Container? A Docker Engine Security Update - Phil Estes, IBM
Security has long been a hot discussion topic when modern Linux containers are compared to other isolation technologies such as VMs. Recently at DockerCon 2016 in Seattle, ADP, a large worldwide enterprise, took the keynote stage and made the bold claim that they came to containers because of, not in spite of, their security requirements. This is a company who manage highly sensitive personal information for millions of clients worldwide! With that backdrop, Phil will walk through the core security capabilities available today in Docker and other container runtimes, and how those capabilities have improved in the last 12-18 months for both pure container isolation, but also improvements and capabilities that touch across the whole lifecycle of a container workflow. Phil will demonstrate recent additions to the Docker engine in 2016 such as user namespaces and seccomp and how they continue to enable better container security and isolation.

VM-based Secure Container - Zhang Wei & Claudio Fontana, Huawei

Due to sharing the same kernel, native containers may never provide alone enough isolation and security without being run inside virtual infrastructure. Wei & Claudio have been workiing on a new VM-based Secure Container based on “RunV” which is an open source and an OCI-compatible runtime similar to “RunC”.

In the RunV community Wei has been working with developers from hyper.sh to make RunV compatible to the Docker API, so that it can integrate with higher level frameworks like Kubernetes and OpenStack and be deployable as easily as native containers.

Claudio has been optimizing virtualization components for this use case, removing legacy features and employing existing methods (Clear Containers) and new ways to boot quickly, decrease overheads, and improve performance. Novel work in the virtualizer and virtual firmware enables further improvements at the expense of fidelity to PC compatibility.

Networking Containers in an Ultra-Low-Latency Environment - Avi Deitcher, Atomic Inc.
Containers must communicate. Without a method for one container to talk to another, let alone the outside world, the overwhelming majority of containers serve little purpose. Yet the networking stack for containers is not well understood, especially in environments with networking performance requirements, such as high performance computing, financial services, or simply those who cannot just throw hardware at a problem.

We will review how containers internetwork, explore multiple networking options for containers, and evaluate the latency and throughput characteristics of each.

Finally, we will look at an actual analysis of each option and the performance results as compared to bare metal, and what lessons we can learn.

Using Seccomp to Limit the Kernel Attack Surface - Michael Kerrisk, man7.org
Seccomp (secure computing) is a means to limit the system calls a program may make: it can be used to select exactly which system calls are permitted (or denied) and to restrict the arguments that may be passed to those system calls. System call filtering is achieved by writing BPF programs--programs written for a small in-kernel virtual machine that is able to examine system call numbers and arguments. Among other uses, seccomp is by now a key component of various container systems such as Docker and LXC. In this session, I'll provide a bottom-up view of seccomp before going on to examine the BPF virtual machine and some practical examples of filtering programs that restrict the set of permitted system calls. The goal is to give developers and administrators using container frameworks a solid understanding of a tool that has become a fundamental component of container frameworks.

Linux DRM: New Picture Processing API - Marek Szyprowski, Samsung Electronics Polska Sp. z o.o.
Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) framework with Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) became generic API for the graphics display stack for Linux. Recently introduced extensions like atomic mode setting and universal planes allows to expose most of the features of the graphics display subsystem to generic applications, which don't need to use any hardware specific API. The next common part of graphics hardware (especially in the embedded systems) are various picture processing modules (i.e. copying, colour space conversion, scaling, rotation, etc). Such blocks can be used by vendor specific extensions. However this is not the best approach, especially if one want to design some hardware-independent application. This talk will focus on presenting the new proposal for the extension to the DRM subsystem, which provides access to the picture processing hardware blocks in the unified and generic way.

You will see the essential differences between Kubernetes and other projects like Swarm and learn how to make a choice. Today, many developers are not comfortable with Linux containers as an effective boundary, and requires for a stronger degree of isolation, particularly for those running in a multi-tenant environment. We believe HyperContainer with Kubernetes (Hypernetes project) is one of the best answers.

Keynote: A Brief History of the Cloud from Servers to VMs to Buildpacks to Cloud Native Containers - Dan Kohn, Executive Director, Cloud Native Computing Foundation

Over the last two decades, the fundamental building blocks of application delivery has evolved. It started with non-virtualized servers from Sun, moved to virtual machines from VMWare and AWS (on first private and then public clouds, the latter being called Infrastructure-as-a-Service), and then continued to buildpacks on Platform-as-a-Service offerings such as Heroku. We’ll review this evolution, and the subsequent one toward open source approaches to VMs, IaaS, and PaaS like OpenStack and Cloud Foundry.

Cloud Native computing is defined as orchestrated containers of microservices. We’ll bring our history up to the current day by reviewing the extraordinary excitement around containers as the building block for modern applications and discuss some of the advantages of a cloud native architecture, including isolation, avoiding lock-in, scalability, agility and maintainability, efficiency and resiliency.

Dan Kohn is executive director of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

Keynote: 10 Lessons from 10 Years of EC2 - Chris Schlaeger, Director Kernel and Operating Systems, Amazon Development Center Germany
The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006. The Elastic Cloud Computing service EC2 launched just a few months later on August 25. Looking back over the past 10 years, there are hundreds of lessons that we’ve  earned about building and operating services that need to be secure,  reliable, scalable, with predictable performance at the lowest possible cost. Given that AWS is a pioneer in building and operating these services world- wide, these lessons have been of crucial importance to our business. As we’ve said many times before, “There is no compression algorithm for experience.” EC2 is built on Linux and Xen. We have probably pushed these components  further and harder than anybody else. Scaling up is a constant challenge and  often puts us in uncharted territory. In this presentation I'd like to share 10 of the important lessons we have learned about Linux and Xen.

FOSSology: Efficient License Analysis (in HD!) - Michael Jaeger, Siemens AG
The Linux Foundation Collaboration Project FOSSology is an OSS framework and Web application mostly used to identify licenses and copyrights in OSS components. FOSSology involves different scan approaches and with a streamlined UI, it allows for efficient assessment of scanner findings. The output is a clarification of involved licenses in OSS components. The tutorial will show and explain: * How does the license situation of open source software look like? * What does FOSSology find actually? * How to generate results with FOSSology for SPDX and debian-copyright files? * How to do reuse of already analyzed components when scanning a newer version? * How can I handle new license statements? * HD? FOSSology enables identification of licenses at a high precision level - the tutorial explains the pitfalls of license statement interpretation and how to cover that.

Converging QEMU and TCMU for Container Storage - Huamin Chen, Red Hat
Containers storage technologies are changing rapidly. Volume Plugins in Docker and Kubernetes open doors to 3rd party storage provisioning for containers. However, these technologies are all based on bind-mount, volume drivers have to implement storage functionalities on their own.

On the other hand, QEMU has a different approach to provide storage for virtual machines. QEMU's block drivers abstracts different backend storage types and thus supports features like multi-tenancy, snapshot, and QoS, which are currently missing in Container storage drivers.

This talk presents a new technology that converges QEMU and TCMU. This allows Containers to use rich storage features that are already available to Virtual Machines. This technology integrates QEMU's block layer with tcmu-runner, and enables Containers to access various storage backends and rich storage features.

Monitoring Microservices: Docker, Mesos and Kubernetes Visibility at Scale - Alessandro Gallotta, Sysdig
Microservices and containers are revolutionizing the way we deploy applications and maintain infrastructure. But as many have found containers still have a key problem: monitoring and troubleshooting them can be impractical, painful, and sometimes impossible. With the rise of microservice based architectures and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes and Mesos, managing this has become even harder.

Using real tools, in live environments, Alessandro Gallotta will walk through various hands-on scenarios including how to:
-visualize physical vs logical architectures of Kubernetes/Mesos deployments
-understand performance at the microservice/app level for orchestrated systems
-identify & surface system activity of individual Docker containers
-extract process & app-level metrics inside containers with non-intrusive methods
-troubleshoot detailed network activity in distributed containers

Orchestrating Linux Containers While Tolerating Failures - Drew Erny, Docker
Although containers are bringing a refreshing flexibility when deploying services in production, the management of those containers in such an environment still requires special care in order to keep the application up and running. In this regard, orchestration platforms like Docker, Kubernetes and Nomad have been trying to alleviate this responsibility, facilitating the task of deploying and maintaining the entire application stack in its desired state. This ensures that a service will be always running, tolerating machine failures, network erratic behavior or software updates and downtime.

The purpose of this talk is to explain the mechanisms used in the core Docker Engine orchestration platform (using a framework called swarmkit) to tolerate failures of services and machines, from cluster state replication and leader-election to container re-scheduling logic when a host goes down.

Efficient Unit Test and Fuzz Tools for Kernel/Libc Porting - Bamvor Jian Zhang, Huawei/Linaro
Bamvor has encountered lots of syscall issues such as wrong number of arguments, different data type in binary interface when working on the ILP32 ABI for ARMv8 in the last two years. He realized that the correctness of argument passing between the C library and core kernel code is a common problem when bringing up new architecture or ABI to kernel and libc. Existing fuzz testing tools such as trinity and skzkaller only generate random or boundary values for syscall parameters and then inject them into kernel, but those tools won't validate if the results of those syscalls are correct or not. Thus they can not act as a unit test for ILP32. Bamvor Jian Zhang would like to share how to improve trinity to serve this purpose.

Persistent Memory Usage within Linux Environment - Maciej Maciejewski & Krzysztof Czurylo, Intel
Byte-addressable Persistent Memory is an emerging technology expected to soon have a dramatic and disruptive impact on software. Usage of persistent memory requires a different approach to data handling within applications.
In this talk we will examine the primary differences between persistent memory, storage devices, and regular DRAM. We shall present how Persistent Memory is exposed to the OS with ACPI extensions, and describe the resulting changes made upstream to the Linux kernel to provide direct access (known as "DAX" in Linux). We shall present how versatility of Persistent Memory can be utilized by the applications, and what impact does it have on the overall system. Finally, an open source library, known as the NVML (http://pmem.io), providing persistent memory allocation, transactions, and other features useful to applications will be shortly described.

Towards Sustainable Systems with the Civil Infrastructure Platform - Urs Gleim, Siemens AG, Corporate Technology & Yoshitake Kobayashi, Toshiba
Linux has become one of the most important software component to run civil infrastructure systems such as power plants, water distributions, traffic controls or healthcare systems. However, there are still gaps to fill regarding domain-specific requirements such as safety, reliability or real-time. At the same time, rapid advances in machine-to-machine connectivity are driving changes in industrial system architectures and
raise the importance of long-term support for security.

The Linux Foundation established "Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP)" as a new collaborative project. CIP aims at developing a super long-term supported open source "base layer" of industrial grade software. This base layer consists of software building blocks that meet requirements of industrial and civil infrastructure systems.

Containers and Logging - Eduardo Silva, Treasure Data
The implementation of Linux Containers provides enough flexibility to isolate applications with restricted access to CPU, memory and networking within others. While this technology is stable and production ready, there are some challenges that still needs to be addressed for the containerized application when deployed at scale: Logging.

While some applications writes their logs to the file system, others use the generic STDOUT and STDERR interfaces; when the application runs on top of a framework or virtual machine (JVM), it may generate some extra information. Since monitoring is a must, handling this data coming from different sources and formats adds an exponential complexity, specially when scaling to thousands of containers.

In this presentation I will describe the Logging challenges for containerized applications and how this is being solved with Fluentd.

Unikernels: When You Should and When You Shouldn't - Amir Chaudhry, Docker
Unikernels, built with library operating systems, reinvent earlier ideas for the modern era, improving the specialisation of apps. In fact, there is a continuum of specialisation, with general purpose OSs at one end, unikernels at the other extreme, & containerised apps in between.

All these options give developers more freedom & choice over how they write & distribute their apps. However, it also presents challenges in terms of understanding which approach is appropriate for a given use-case.

As with all technology, there are trade-offs with unikernels. This talk considers the benefits & drawbacks. By stepping away from hype & clarifying misunderstandings, attendees will appreciate why unikernels exist & where they're going. Attendees will also have a better idea of when they should consider a library OS for their next project, as well as the trade-offs they'll need to consider.

Build Your Own ChromeOS distro and Image Server - Ronald G. Minnich, Google
ChromeOS is a very popular software stack, and Chromebooks have recently passed Macs in market share. But the ChromeOS stack is for more than just end users: ChromeOS is an open source system which lets any user build their own version of the stack and, further, make their Chrome devices use that stack, from their server. In other words, you can buy a Chromebook, flip it to developer mode, and have it run *your* ChromeOS stack, not the one it comes with. Further, you can run your own server so that over the air (OTA) updates come from you, not anyone else, using the same technology that Google uses. If you are good with a screwdriver, you can even rewrite the keys so that you can run your Chromebook in its secure mode, but still use your distro and no other. In this talk, I'll describe how you build/run a ChromeOS OTA server and run your personal ChromeOS on any network-attached device.

Documenting Your Software Supply Chain with Linked Data - Yev Bronshteyn, Black Duck Software
What’s in your software other than your code? Most likely, other people’s software. And what’s inside that software? More other people’s software. And each layer of that vast layer cake comes with its own licensing license agreements, copyrights, origin information, and, alas, vulnerabilities. To document all that, you’d need far more than an ingredient label and, preferably, something other than a COPYING file the size of "War and Peace".

In this presentation, we’ll examine the possibilities offered by Linked Data. We’ll talk about the fundamentals of Linked Data and RDF, its incarnations and formats (Turtle, RDF/XML, Thrift, JSON-LD), query language (SPARQL), tooling, and more.

SPDX Bakeoff
In this working session we will do a deeper dive on the various tools (both open source and commercial) for producing and consuming SPDX 2.1.  Bring your tools, bring your ideas for tools, and be prepared to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty with SPDX fields.

In order to facilitate discussion and collaboration we encourage SPDX producers to generate SPDX 2.1 data files (tag:value format) for a selection of open source projects prior to the meeting.  There will be a standard set of packages to be analyzed, which will be documented in the SPDX 2.1 bakeoff folder on Google Docs.   Before the session you may upload your data files to the  folder on Google Docs.  Just create a folder with the name of your organization and deposit whatever files you have.  We will have several projectors in order to facilitate side-by-side comparisons of SPDX data during the meeting.

We hope to accomplish the following in this session:
  • Discuss and resolve different interpretations of the SPDX specification and data fields.

How to Monitor Docker Containers with the Open Source ELK Stack - Asaf Yigal, Logz.io
As Docker becomes more and more popular, the number of deployed containers is increasing rapidly. As a result, the ability to monitor the logs of each container is becoming more and more difficult -- especially when organizations have many containers distributed across many servers. Centralized logging with the open source ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana) is the solution to this problem.

Setting up the ELK Stack to monitor Docker logs might seem like an easy task, but Asaf Yigal of Logz.io went through several iterations in his company's architecture and made mistakes in their deployments that are common in the industry. In this tutorial, he will go through what they did and explain what worked and what failed -- and why. This presentation is for people who use are interested in using open source ELK to perform Docker log analysis in their own environments.

Adding CPU Frequency Scaling for Your ARM Platform to Linux Kernel - Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Samsung Electronics Polska Sp. z o.o.
CPU frequency scaling is one of standard features implemented when adding new ARM platform support to Linux kernel. Most (if not all) recent ARM platforms are making use of the generic Device Tree based CPUfreq driver (cpufreq-dt). During This tutorial Bartlomiej will present the inner workings of the cpufreq-dt driver and will show all the steps (including mandatory Device Tree changes and optional clocks subsystem adjustments) needed to make the driver work on new ARM platform. Off-the-shelf Hardkernel's ODROID-XU3 board (which is Samsung Exynos5422 SoC based) will be used as the example hardware for showing the step-by-step implementation of CPU frequency scaling. The tutorial will end with discussion of advanced topics like how to enable software boost functionality, when to use generic ARM big.LITTLE CPUfreq driver and when there is a need to develop a new CPUfreq driver.

Bringing Android Explicit Fencing to Mainline: A New Era for Graphics - Gustavo Padovan, Collabora Ltd.
The talk will cover the current state of Explicit Fencing on Graphics. It first appeared on Linux as the Android Sync Framework to improve buffer handling between Kernel Drivers and the HWComposer. With explicit fencing userspace is responsible for synchronize between drivers sharing the same DMA buffer. It gets the buffers' fence from the Producer driver(GPU or Camera) and send it to the Consumer one (DRM) and vice-versa. The Consumer then wait the fence to signal before using the buffer. The fence signal when the buffer is ready for use, eg: When the GPU finishes processing it., the fence signal and the DRM driver can show it on screen.

Before only Implicit Fencing existed, where the kernel handles fencing between drivers internally with no userspace interference. There was no generic code, as each driver hacked its own implicit fencing mechanism, leading to hard to debug bugs.

In the advent of a new, persistent memory enabled world, the current software
industry must prepare for the upcoming changes. Looking forward to meet those
new requirements set by the new type of hardware, a new standard API should be
introduced to ease the adoption of this new technology. During the development
of the Linux NVM (Non Volatile Memory) Library, it became apparent, that the C
API is complex and hard to use. To remove some of the pain points, a proposal
of a new C++ API was made. This presentation/talk will explain the design
process and decisions made during the implementation phase, as well as the

Resource Limitations for Your Containers- Stéphane Graber, Canonical
Back in the day, containers were mostly a local development tool, only trusted workloads were run inside them and it was expected that any given container could take all the resources of its host.

Over the past few years, things have changed a lot and containers are now everywhere, from embedded systems all the way to the largest supercomputers. It is not unusual for there to be several hundred containers running on any given system and having one of those bring the whole system down is simply unacceptable.

The Linux kernel offers a variety of features which combined together will let you restrict resource consumption for a given container as well as report resource usage back.

This talk will cover each of those and how to combine them to provide a good user experience, using the recent LXD work on resource limits as an example.

In the talk there will be case study material, e.g. where automatic failure caused Github to go offline, where Facebook doesn’t use fully automated failover but assisted failover, etc. How is the MySQL world making things better, for example by allowing you to use semi-synchronous replication to run fully scalable services. The talk starts off with an even almost stupid example of how a business died due to incorrect MySQL backup procedures. It will go on to talk about security and encryption at rest as well. So a mix of problems from the field, big “fail whales”, and how you should avoid them by properly architecting solutions

Game Changer: Software Defined Storage and Container Schedulers - David vonThenen, EMC {code}
One problem of running Enterprise Applications in container schedulers, like Apache Mesos and Kubernetes, has been making applications and their data highly available. To date, utilizing local disks on compute nodes has given us data persistence, but unfortunately does solve the data mobility problem required to make applications tolerate Agent node failures.

We will discuss what Software Defined Storage (SDS) is, how Software Defined Storage can transform local storage into an external globally accessible pool, how Mesos clusters can overcome this data mobility problem, and more importantly do so in such a way that is simple and easy to consume using an Apache Mesos Framework as a reference model. Will have a demonstration of Mesos Framework that will deploy a scale out software defined storage platform and deploy applications leveraging this new type of storage.

Using Static Checkers to Find C Language Security Vulnerabilities in the Linux Kernel - Vaishali Thakkar, Linux Foundation
Static code analysis is commonly understood to be an automatic check of source code by a tool. Hundreds of possible fault types have been identified in C code, such as uninitialized variables, buffer overflows, race conditions etc over the years. Since a major part of the Linux kernel is written in C, there is clearly a need for automatic checking for compliance with proper security-related idioms.

The talk will depict the most common security-related coding errors that can arise in the Linux kernel and how current static checkers are helping in finding/fixing them. The talk will give an overview of the available and most commonly used tools, including sparse, coccinelle, smatch, checkpatch, clang, coverity etc. It will also highlight the kind of security vulnerabilities each of these tools is best adapted to handle.

Using the Valgrind Framework to Build a Persistent Memory Error Detector - Krzysztof Czurylo & Tomasz Kapela, Intel
Valgrind is a popular, multi-platform instrumentation framework for building dynamic binary analysis tools. In the Linux community, it is mostly known and valued for a few popular tools: Memcheck - a memory-management error detector, and Helgrind/DRD - two threading bugs detectors.
In this talk, we will present a new tool built on Valgrind - Pmemcheck - yet another memory error detector designed specifically to detect problems with Persistent Memory programming.
First, we will talk about the motivation for creating new error detector and the reasons for which we have chosen Valgrind framework to create Pmemecheck. We will also shed some light on typical issues related to the use of byte-addressable persistent memory. Finally, we will present an in-depth view on the Pmemcheck design and the changes we have made to the core part of Valgrind to support persistent memory.

Cloud Anti-Patterns - Casey West, Pivotal
The value of embracing microservices, containers, and continuous delivery is powerful only when brought together in logical, scalable, and portable ways. When used incorrectly it’s increasingly easy to make things much worse for you and your team, and do it at scale.

For example, while microservices can be used to effectively isolate functionality, increase the speed of delivery, and help scale your team it can also be a way to inefficiently duplicate functionality and create single points of failure.

Owing to the conceivable future of a large number of internet-connected and security-enabled devices (e.g., in the IoT paradigm), the content-providing servers must deliver; (a) high availability, (b) high throughput and (c) high level of security. This talk focuses on how hardware accelerators can help to meet these requirements, specifically on the IBM’s LinuxONE systems. We investigate the impact of hardware-assisted encryption and compression functions. We present deployment recommendation and advantages of using hardware acceleration for end-to-end transaction processing employed by typical web- and application-servers, and different databases.

moja global is a Linux Foundation project that develops and manages software for estimating greenhouse gas emissions from the land sector. Models are used to simulate changes in emissions across all lands, including forests, crops and grasslands. The models are controlled by generic data processing software and can be configured to meet countries specific needs.

moja global provides a generic framework that integrates remote-sensing and ground data to allow countries to estimate their emissions in the land sector. moja global provides for a variety of country-specific configurations and other tools to support inventory development. The software does not rely on any specific remote sensing sensor or method. As the system is customisable, countries are able to use the moja global tool to compare different scenarios for their land-use emissions-transforming a country’s national accounts into a tool that supports policy making and scenario planning.

Tutorial: Heat, cloud-init and cloud-config: OpenStack Orchestration Deep Dive - Florian Haas, hastexo
OpenStack has excellent workload orchestration support — except the information required to use it is not always wonderfully accessible. This workshop helps you navigate the orchestration maze. In this technical workshop, you will be introduced to OpenStack Heat, cloud-init, and the hidden gems in cloud-config. Working on a live OpenStack infrastructure, you will learn how to deploy Heat orchestration templates, optimize instance configuration with cloud-init and cloud-config, and learn how to customize individual instances right from your Heat command line or the OpenStack Dashboard.

Tutorial: Kubernetes Hands-on Lab - Rafael Benevides, Red Hat
Yes, Docker is great! We are all very aware of that but now it’s time to take the next step: wrapping it all and deploying to a production environment. For this scenario we need something more. For that “more” we have Kubernetes by Google - a container platform based on the same technology used to deploy billions of containers per month on Google’s infrastructure.

Ready to leverage your Docker skills? Come to this hands-on lab to see how your current Docker skill set can be easily mapped to Kubernetes concepts and commands. And get ready to deploy your containers in production! You will also learn service discovery, perform rolling update, canary, and roll backs. In addition, we will also explore advanced features such as: - Secrets, Persistent volumes, Health checks and much more.

This is a 3 hour BYOL (Bring your own laptop) hands-on lab. It uses Vagrant+VirtualBox to setup a development environment in your own laptop. The instructor will provide an existing VM image with an existing installation and container images.

Tutorial: Persistent Memory Programming with NVML - Pawel Lebioda & Tomasz Kapela, Intel
Byte-addressable Persistent Memory is an emerging technology expected to soon have a dramatic and disruptive impact on software. Usage of persistent memory requires a different approach to data handling within applications. One of the first attempts to tackle this problem is the open source Linux NVM (Non Volatile Memory) Library. This library tries to address the main issues of persistent memory programming, at the same time trying to provide the developer with tools to ease persistent memory testing. During this workshop, the participants will write a simple, volatile program. Then write the same application in the libpmemobj C API and convert it to the C++ API.

Full-Day Course: FOSSology - Hands On Training (Additional Fee - Pre-registration Required)

To add this to your existing LinuxCon + ContainerCon Europe registration, please click here.

FOSSology is an open source license compliance software system and toolkit. As a toolkit, you can run license, copyright and export control scans 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 problems and how they are covered by FOSSology. This training will therefore provide the following elements:

  • Challenges in real world examples at license analysis of open source components
  • Learning how to cope with license proliferation and custom license texts
  • Efficiently managing large open source components with heterogeneous licensing
  • Saving work with reusing license conclusions of open source packages when analyzing a newer version
  • Getting an overview about an example workflow for component analysis with FOSSology

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, it is recommended to have performed the training Compliance Training for Developers (LFC191) available here.

About the Instructors:
The FOSSology Steering Team will administer the course.
