CentOS Dojo at London, 13th Sept 2013
A one day sysadmin centric learning and sharing experience
The CentOS Dojo's are a one day event, organised around the world, that bring together people from the CentOS Communities to talk about systems administration, best practises in linux centric activities and emerging technologies of note. The emphasis is to find local speakers and tutors to come together and talk about things that they care about most, and to share stories from their experiences working with CentOS in various scenarios. |

With a Eucalyptus private cloud, you can shorten delivery cycles and accelerate time to market by providing a standardized and consistent environment that spans both private and public clouds. Lester will provide an overview of Eucalyptus and its AWS compatible services, giving examples of how customers and users are benefiting from this compatibility with their private clouds. Lester will give a technical overview of the Eucalyptus cloud platform and its components, discuss the roadmap for the next year and give a demonstration of the autoscaling and load balancing features. |

Xen and XenServer Storage Performance: The low latency characteristics of modern SSDs bring new challenges to virtualisation platforms. With response times that small, the CPU time spent while processing VM's requests play an important role on the I/O throughput. This talk will review the storage subsystem architecture in Xen and XenServer, presenting numbers for a variety of storage types and discussing how new software techniques can help to mitigate the problem. |
