Jose Miguel Parrella – The Future of Linux Distros in the Cloud (Introductory)

Linux is everywhere today, thanks in no small part to its ability to change as computing evolves. There are new applications, new architectural patterns, new ways of distributing software and an unprecedented scale at which systems engineers work with Linux today. In this talk, Jose Miguel points to some of the trends to watch for as we prepare for the future of Linux in a cloud world.

Peter Zaitsev – Using eBPF for Linux Performance Analyses (Introductory)

eBPF is one of the most powerful instrumentation frameworks in modern Linux Kernel. In this presentation we will cover eBPF basics as well as usage of Interactive eBPF tools, showing practical examples when and how they can help to resolve performance problems. Finally we will look into Cloudflare’s ebpf_exporter and show how you can integrate eBPF with Prometheus for Long Term Monitoring
