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.
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.
Thank you to SanDisk/Western Digital for sponsoring this event.
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.

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.
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.
Car hacking continues to be a concern and high profile software bugs are on the rise and in the news at an alarming frequency. The traditional way of developing automotive software is not working. OEMs are starting to adopt an open source approach to change the way software is built for cars.
Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) is a Linux Foundation Collaboration Project that is bringing together OEMs and suppliers to build a shared platform from the ground-up for in-vehicle infotainment. Dan Cauchy will provide an update on the latest AGL activities and discuss how AGL and GENIVI have been collaborating in various areas of open source automotive software, and what lies ahead in the future. He will also discuss how developing a common platform and building an ecosystem and supply chain that all use the same code base will transform the traditional automotive supply chain model, reduce fragmentation, improve time-to-market and enable companies to focus more on rapid innovation and new features.
Guest tickets are available for purchase for US$125.
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.
Danny Phillips' talk will an exploration of Citrix Delivery Networks, and how they are relevant to Microservices and Containerised solutions.
He will give a background on Citrix NetScaler, from a brief history to their current observations in the market around the requirement for Load Balancing within container networking.
Recommened for tutorial: It would be ideal to come prepared with a working minikube configuration and etcd downloaded for your system. Find details in the prerequisites sections found 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:
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.

These are exciting times in the Software Defined Storage space, especially with the rapid innovation in the cloud native space. Open Source projects abound and are working collaboratively to bring community-driven innovation to all areas of technology infrastructure and also provide seamless integration to the cloud. Spend a day with us to understand Software as a Service as it pertains to cloud native technologies and the open source projects that contribute in this space, from REX-Ray and CoprHD to Kubernetes and Mesos, to Spark and data streaming, and to Ceph, GlusterFS and OpenStack Swift. These stacks quickly emerging in this world, and this summit is an opportunity to look at the latest developments.
Some of the topics we'll be covering include software defined storage controllers and API platforms, data persistence for cloud native applications, persistent storage with Docker, storage management with OpenStack, open source storage platforms, and the new heterogeneous open source software stack for storage.
Come and learn how to build open source storage platforms for cloud native and container infrastructure!
