Evolving Ext4 for Shingled Disks [E] - Theodore Ts'o, Google

Drive-Managed Shingled Magentic Recording (SMR) disks offer a higher capacity alternative to traditional disk drives. However, non-sequential workloads can show bi-modal behaviour. After a short period of high performance they enter a continuous period of low performance. We were able to make a small change (600 LOC) to ext4 that significantly improves the throughput in both modes, resulting in 2-13x improvements on metadata-heavy workloads, and 1.7-4.9x improvements on a file server benchmark. The changes also resulted in performance improvements on conventional disk drives.

Is There Still Room for Innovation in Container Orchestration and Scheduling? [E] - Sheng Liang, Rancher Labs

In the container ecosystem, there is perhaps no technology that has received more focus and attention than orchestration and scheduling. Mesos, Kubernetes, and Swarm have established themselves as the leading technology choices in this space.

In this talk, Sheng will discuss what he learned from working directly with hundreds of users who have deployed one of these frameworks. He will look at how these frameworks will continue to evolve and if there’re any gaps and opportunities in container orchestration and scheduling. Sheng will make a case that there are still room for innovation and new orchestration and scheduling frameworks will be created in the future. He will discuss what new frameworks might look like--the features, functionalities, and attributes that differentiate them from the mainstream frameworks today.

Secure Containers With EPT Isolation [E] - Chunyan Liu, Huawei & Jixing Gu, Intel

Secure Container solution is to enhance container security by isolating memory between Docker containers inside one VM with Intel VT-x EPT HW, which is highly effective to protect container’s memory and at the meantime defends ret2user privilege escalation attack that exploits kernel vulnerabilities (eg. CVE-2017-6074 UAF (use-after-free) vulnerability). It extends KVM interfaces which the guest OS can leverage to isolate container memory from other containers, and the interfaces rely on Intel VT-x EPT hardware extension and provide memory access protection for the container which sits in an isolated memory region. Each secure container has a dedicated EPT table rather than sharing one EPT table with guest OS, which enforces the cross-EPT memory access protection. The whole solution is user-friendly to fit in the existing cloud server infrastructure with very limited changes.

Long-term Maintenance Model of Embedded Industrial Linux Distribution [E] - SZ Lin, MOXA

To introduce a robust, secure and reliable platform for the industrial environments is a key challenge; moreover, the platform needs to survive for a long time (more than 10+ years). There are many good solutions aiming to meet these requirements, such as LTSI (Long Term Support Initiative) and CIP (Civil Infrastructure Platform). However, it still needs a high amount of maintenance and development costs in handling SoC/ hardware board in-house patch, non-upstream driver and keep source code consistent with different SoC and platform afterwards.

In this presentation, SZ Lin will introduce how to operate long-term maintenance model of embedded industrial Linux distribution. In addition, he will also address the building, deploying and testing architecture and workflow for producing a robust, secure and reliable platform.

Rethinking the OS: A Travel Journal [E] - Simona Arsene, SUSE

A new wave of Operating Systems optimized for containers appeared on the horizon making us excited and puzzeled at the same time.

"Why do we need anything different for containers when traditional OSs served us well in the last 25+ years?" "Isn't Kubernetes just another package to install on top of my favorite distro?"" Will this obsolete my whole infrastructure?" are some of the questions this talk will shed some light on.

Explore the journey SUSE made in rethinking the OS: From a conservative linux distribution to a platform that goes hand in hand with the needs of Microservices.

You will get an insight at what lessons were learned during the intense development effort that lead to SUSE Containers as a Service Platform, how the obstacles along the way were lifted and why "Upstream first" is - and should always be - the rule.

That's Not a Metric! Data for Cloud-Native Success [E] - Gordon Haff, Red Hat

“Without data, you’re just another person with an opinion.” W. Edwards Deming was talking about statistical quality control in manufacturing but he could equally have been referring to managing modern iterative and automated software deployment pipelines and cloud-native infrastructure. Certainly there's a wealth of open source tools to capture and visualize data. However, a data strategy isn’t solely or even mostly about drawing up a long list of technical measurements and instrumenting software to capture everything. It's crucial to distinguish between metrics that relate software initiatives to positive business outcomes, the alerts needed to respond to problems now, and the data required for root cause analysis or to optimize processes over time. All data is not equal. And most data is not a metric for measuring success.

The Business Reality of Building Open Source: What We Learned from OVS and OVN [E] - Justin Pettit, VMware & Ben Pfaff, Open vSwitch Project

A number of questions commonly arise in supporting open source projects within companies that primarily develop closed source software. Such as:

* How many resources should we allocate?
* Are we just enabling our competitors?
* What, if anything, should we keep proprietary?
* What are the implications of the license being used?
* What should we expect in terms of community contributions?
* How do we balance the needs of the community versus the company?

As founding members of the Open vSwitch and OVN projects, the presenters have had to help answer these questions at both an early stage startup as well as a large established company. In this presentation, we will discuss how we've navigated the often conflicting goals of open source projects and our companies.

Migrating Legacy Monoliths to Cloud Native Microservices Architectures on Kubernetes [E] - Dan Kohn, CNCF

Cloud Native architectures, like those built on Kubernetes, are envied for their ability to segment different parts of an application into microservices to be separately containerized, so that each microservice can be written in its own language, with its own framework & unique set of libraries. This has been shown to significantly increase developer & team productivity by decoupling dependencies between different parts of a team. However, most legacy code consists of a large monolithic code base, not microservices applications. In this talk, Dan Kohn, executive director of CNCF, will walk through how monoliths evolve into modern cloud native architectures by taking advantage of the DevOps revolution & result in developer productivity gains.

Make Accelerator Pluggable for Container Engine [C] - Jiuyue Ma, Huawei

Containers are widely used to deploy applications. In the meantime, more and more applications (e.g. big data processing, deep learning) are trying to use specialized hardware accelerators to improve performance (including lots of CT products in Huawei). However, the lack of accelerator support in containers make it hard to achieve both easier deployment and better performance. In this presentation, Jiuyue will introduce a plugin mechanism for container to bridge this gap. In this mechanism, accelerator plugins are shipped with drivers by vendors, users do not need to install drivers or libraries inside container, which make the images portable. The users only need to specify the required accelerator runtime environment when build the image. The container engine will take care of all the rest things. The detailed design and a Docker based prototype will be discussed in this presentation.
