Block Deduplication and Compression with VDO
Limited Capacity seats available
"Deduplication and compression have been core requests for Linux storage, but delivering these at performance and scale has been technologically difficult. The new kvdo device-mapper module, based on more than a decade of development, is a tried and tested solution that meets this need. kvdo provides fast, scalable, inline deduplication, compression, and 4K-granularity thin provisioning for any Linux block device. These benefits transfer to file systems and applications using the underlying storage.

VDO is simple to deploy across many use cases, but a few caveats apply due to the unpredictability of actual space free. This session will provide an overview of VDO and its deployment, a review of usage considerations, and a first-level introduction to its implementation internals."

Container Image Storage Compression and Dedupe
Limited Capacity filling up
"Container images are known to be compressible. But there is no comprehensive evaluation of how much storage space can be saved through storage features such as compression and deduplication.

This talk presents quantitative findings of Container image reduction under different workloads using Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) developed by Permabit and recently acquired by Red Hat. We discovered that storage space savings range between 50% and 85% on different workloads.

Building on these findings, we created an optimized Docker registry service on OpenShift that is capable of reducing storage spaces used by CI/CD by almost a magnitude."

Delivering a host platform at the speed of light
Limited Capacity filling up
"When implementing true CI/CD you can deliver a host platform at a quicker cadence and high quality. This session walks through using Red Hat Opensource products such as Openshift, Jenkins, and Ansible to deliver a faster moving host completely containerized and gates developers/packagers. Every change gets validated and prevents bugs in code to be identified sooner by the person making changes. I will explore how Openshift + Jenkins Pipelines is a simpler comprehensive solution to enable CI/CD in any project based on lessons learned by delivering a host platform.

Improving hyperconverged performance
Limited Capacity seats available
"Gluster storage is integrated with oVirt as file based storage using FUSE, enabling all oVirt features with very little special code. However FUSE is not the most efficient and scalable way to access Gluster storage, resulting in poor virtual machine performance. With newly added native Gluster support a VM can access gluster storage directly in the most efficient way. Decreased storage access latency results in a better IOPS, thus making storage more responsive and improve the VMs performance. Participants will be able to learn more on how file system access works for VMs, review the reason for potential performance issues in hyperconverged setups, and how to improve it."

Minishift: CI/CD in the palm of your hand
Limited Capacity filling up
"Developing a modern CI/CD workflow involves the integration of multiple technologies and applications/services. Openshift helps to simplify the provisioning, management and scaling of applications and, thanks to its tight integration with Jenkins, is a perfect choice for your CI/CD pipeline. This talk will provide an introduction to minishift[1] as a way for developers to have their own easy to implement, manage, and customize Openshift instance on their local development system, and how to use this minishift-based Openshift environment in conjunction with Jenkins to implement a full local CI-Pipeline.

Anatomy of KVM Guest
Limited Capacity filling up
"KVM, kernel based virtualization, turns the Linux kernel into an
hypervisor to provide full virtualization services. There is great
magic that happens in the background to create a guest environment
and provide various services securely.

In this session we'll peek into the background to understand
how a KVM x86 guest environment comes to be, how/where do various
emulated peripherals fit in and how do they interacts with each-other,
the hypervisor and the hardware."

Outcast: Virtualization in a container world?
Limited Capacity filling up
"Containers seem to be like virtualization, just better. Is it just a matter of time until all VMs will have vanished, and their workloads live their life in containers? Well - This depends on the problem you try to solve.
This talk is about looking at why virtualization is still needed in a container world and where it is found. We’ll specifically look at virtualization related projects like ClearContainers, frakti, virtlet, and KubeVirt in the Kubernetes context, their use-cases, commonalities, and differences.

After the talk an attendee should have gained overview over which projects exist in the Kubernetes world, and for what they can be used.

This talk is for everybody who would like to secure their containers, or who would like to run classical VMs on Kubernetes."

One Testing Framework to Rule Them All
Limited Capacity filling up
"Testing your software can be even more complex than developing the software itself. You need a collection of distinct types of tests, like unittests and functional tests for every single layer, from the backend to the public API, from the Database model to the Web Interface, from the Mobile App to the Build Scripts, on local, remote, virtual or container deployments. In this session we will discuss methods and frameworks to reduce the complexity, improve the test coverage and optimize its performance.
You're expected to have some knowledge in Software Development and in Software Testing, but the session will cover the basics of the approached subjects."

Kubernetes Cloud Autoscaler for Isolated Workloads

With the Kubernetes Cloud Autoscaler, scaling on-demand of your GCE and EC2 instances can even be done from within your Kubernetes cluster. This session will introduce the Kubernetes Cloud Autoscaler concept and discuss how it is implemented for GCE and EC2. Finally we will have a look at the Cloud Autoscaler backend for KubeVirt, a drop-in Virtualization add-on for Kubernetes, which brings Virtual Machines to Kubernetes to allow you running isolated workloads on your Bare-Metal Kubernetes installation."

A slightly different nesting: KVM on Hyper-V
Limited Capacity seats available
"This may come as a surprise but it is already possible to run nested KVM inside Hyper-V VMs (and this includes several instance types on Azure). Such workloads, however, may not always perform very well. Some limitations come from x86 architecture and conceptual differences between KVM and Hyper-V, other issues could be dealt with within KVM. In this talk Vitaly will go through different performance bottlenecks of nested KVM-on-Hyper-V deployments. The presentation will mainly be focused on low-level features: hardware support for nested virtualization, clocksources and clockevents, virtual device drivers. Benchmark data and general thoughts on the usefulness of such deployments won't be missing too."

High availability with no split-brains!
Limited Capacity filling up
Highly available virtual machines are restarted automatically when going down unintentionally. Such VMs are often needed for running critical services. However, restarting VMs automatically is a non-trivial task for management systems because it may cause a VM to run on two different machines simultaneously. This scenario, called "split-brain", may lead to data corruption since both instances use the same disk(s). That is especially unfortunate because highly available VMs are typically the most important ones. In this session I will describe the problem we faced and demonstrate our recent solution for this in oVirt (although both are not oVirt-specific).

Slicing a GPU (Virtually!)
Limited Capacity seats available
Several workloads require a GPU acceleration, either for graphics or for computations. There are multiple ways to run these GPU accelerated workloads in KVM guests. This session
will explore many options that are usable today, as well as a few
that are still work in progress, and clarify the options available
for recent products from each of the main GPU vendors. The talk is based on experience from implementing GPU virtualization in SPICE and oVirt projects.

In particular, the session will cover:
- direct GPU assignment with IOMMU, dedicating a GPU for a specific VM
- vfio-mdev, which lets you split a single supported GPU for use in multiple VMs
- VirtIO GPU, which offers more flexibility at the expense of performance
- SPICE streaming for remote 3D rendering

After attending the session, attendees should be able to
1. understand basics of each solution's usage
2. know how to choose a GPU accelerated solution that matches their needs
3. know how to configure a virtual machine in that configuration
4. be aware of performance and quality trade-offs
