3 ways to make your life easier with Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka is one of the most popular messaging platforms. It is suitable for many different use-cases. It can be used as a publish-subscribe messaging system, as a data streaming platform or for example as a distributed commit log.

Apache Kafka is more than just another messaging system. It has some features which make it unique and distinguish it from most other messaging systems. Regardless whether you are using microservices or monoliths, or whether you are a developer, architect, tester or work for operations - Apache Kafka can make your life easier. This talk will show you 3 patterns commonly used with Apache Kafka which can improve your architecture and make your life easier. It will also include live demo of these patterns.

Fine-Grained Authorization with Keycloak SSO

Keycloak is an open source identity and access management for modern applications and services.

In this session, we'll provide an introduction to Keycloak and we will see how to use Keycloak for the authentication to your web application. We will take a deeper look at how to use Keycloak capabilities to enable fine-grained centrally managed authorization based on OAuth 2 and UMA 2.0 standards, in your Spring Boot web application. With the example photo album application, we will demonstrate how users can share their photos with the other users.

Attendees are not required to have knowledge about Keycloak as we will briefly explain it.

Running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes and OpenShift

Apache Kafka has emerged as a leading platform for building real-time data pipelines and for high-throughput/low-latency messaging. With its scalable and distributed design, Apache Kafka is very good fit for platforms like Kubernetes and OpenShift.

But deploying and running stateful apps like Apache Kafka on Kubernetes or OpenShift can be complex and tedious. Open source project Strimzi makes it easy using the operator pattern. It addresses the whole lifecycle from creating and managing Apache Kafka clusters to managing Apache Kafka topics or users. This talk will go through the main challenges and explain how they are solved in the Strimzi project, and show a demo of deploying and running Apache Kafka on OpenShift.

This talk expects at least a basic knowledge of Kubernetes or OpenShift.

A Greybeard's Worst Nightmare

Containers and Kubernetes with the concepts of application-centric packaging, process isolation through Linux containers, and immutable infrastructure are shaking up the core traditions of today's GNU/Linux operating systems. We are challenging assumptions and approaches derived from the past 40+ years of UNIX tradition. The Linux distribution as we know it, is morphing into new concept of containerized, multi-instance, multi-user applications, which can be deployed in scale-out environments. In this session, we'll assess this new OS environment and take a deep look at the consequences this new OS model has for both developers and operators.

Benchmark testing

Over the years we've accumulated in-depth knowledge about what to test, how to test it, and especially on how to interpret the results we see from various benchmark testings. These tests range from classic (software-defined) storage throughput over latency to VM density testing and all the little bits and pieces that come with it.
Since we've jumped through all those unavoidable loops, we want to share what we learned and prevent others from making the same mistakes we did.
We will cover system metrics, gluster metrics as well as an approach to test how many VMs a virtualization environment can actually run.

Intro to Ceph, the Distributed Storage System

Ceph is an open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability. With an advanced placement algorithm, active storage nodes, and peer-to-peer gossip protocols, Ceph is software-defined storage for scaling from terabytes to exabytes with no single point of failure. Powerful features like instantaneous snapshotting and copy-on-write clones, along with self-management and automatic healing, make Ceph friendly to administrators and users. This talk describes the Ceph architecture, from its bottom-level RADOS object store to the CephFS distributed filesystem, RADOS Block device, and S3- and Swift-compatible RADOS Gateway, and will also discuss major new and upcoming features.

Ceph data services in a hybrid cloud world

IT organizations are faced with managing infrastructure that spans multiple private data centers and public clouds. Emerging tools and operational patterns like kubernetes and microservices are easing the process of deploying across multiple environments, but the problem with such efforts remains that most applications require lots of state in databases, object stores, or file systems. Unlike stateless microservices, state is hard to move.

Ceph is known for scale-out file, block, and object within a single cluster, but it also includes multi-cluster federation capabilities. This talk will cover how Ceph's underlying multi-site capabilities complement and enable portability across clouds and how a multi-cloud perspective has shifted our roadmap, especially for Ceph object storage.

Ceph Management and Monitoring with the Dashboard

The Ceph Manager Dashboard gives Ceph Administrators an easy to use interface to manage and monitor various aspects of their cluster without having to use the CLI or any third-party utilities.

It is based on the original Ceph Dashboard as well as the concepts and architecture of the standalone open source Ceph management framework openATTIC. The development of this new component is driven and coordinated by the openATTIC team at SUSE as well as engineers from Red Hat and other members of the Ceph community.

Features include monitoring the cluster health status, managing OSDs, Pools, RBDs and the Object Gateway (RGW). Performance graphs for each component and service are provided by embedding Grafana Dashboards into the Ceph Manager Dashboard UI.

Active/Active NFS Serving over CephFS

While there have been NFS gateways over CephFS for a long time, scaling
that service across multiple nodes has always been a challenge. Recently,
a new recovery backend was merged into the nfs-ganesha userland NFS
server that allows a cluster of NFS servers to coordinate their recovery
periods using a shared RADOS object, allowing us to scale out a cluster
of NFS servers in a loosely-coupled fashion on top of CephFS.

This presentation will cover some basics about NFS recovery, how we solved
the problem of coordinating the recovery across a cluster of NFS servers,
and some practical deployment scenarios.

Online disk reencryption with LUKS2

Session will focus on new LUKS2 cryptsetup reencryption designed with goal to provide better resilience when dealing with crash event. LUKS2 implementation also provides option to reencrypt live (mounted) devices and better suits HA systems emphasising minimal downtime. Both requirements were significant milestones on road to get LUKS2 reencryption deployed in future enterprise
environments.

In the talk we'll go through features of new reencryption with
description of data protection methods implemented as
safeguards against data corruption on crash event. We'll
demonstrate new reencryption tool on basic use cases including
example of automatic crash recovery after simulated system crash.

Introducing Storage Instantiation Daemon

Setting up the linux storage stack correctly has never been more complicated! Mirroring, RAID, multipath, thin provisioning, caching, compression, encryption, LVM... Much of the burden of activating devices on a linux system today relies upon udev but today's increasing level of complexity was probably never envisaged.

The new Storage Instantiation Daemon (SID) aims to control and report upon the identification, grouping and activation of the disparate storage layers from a single location. It works in partnership with udev, and tries to improve the handling of awkward configurations.

We will look at the new SID architecture. We will also summarize the problems that led to introduction of this new and modular infrastructure and how it addresses them.

Advanced block storage test devices

Storage tests can involve hard-to-reproduce scenarios involving a complex sequence of events, often complicated by the differing behavior characteristics of different types of block devices. Linux has various block device testing devices: scsi_debug, dm-flakey, dm-delay, and so on. But what if the test requires a scenario not covered by the existing test devices? See examples of test devices created to simulate the behavior of real-world storage devices, in complex support cases, during the development of Virtual Data Optimizer (now in RHEL 7.5).

Multi-Arch FedoraCI container builds with OKD

Multi-Arching Origin Community Distribution of Kubernetes (OKD) is a key step towards allowing Fedora to build Multi-Arch containers. With that goal in mind, we set out to rebase OKD on fedora to support x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x. We've learned a lot along the way, and there is still a lot to do!

We'll discuss:
* Why we needed to rebase OKD Containers on Fedora to support different architectures
* What will be required with OKD 4.0
* How you could start deploying OKD on other Architectures.
* Where you can get involved.

If you're interested in running OKD on Fedora, or multiple architectures then this talk is definitely for you

Eliminating Scriptlets for Fun and Profit

Does your installation, image generation or CI setup take *far too
long*? In this talk, we'll discuss how we analyzed hundreds of
packages in Fedora to identify their use of RPM scriptlets as an
enormous contributing factor to slow installations and complications
around generating stable container and ostree images.

We will discuss the various strategies that we have today to eliminate
many of these scriptlets as well as our plans for eventually removing
most or all of them from Fedora.

This talk is intended for those who are working in packaging or
image-generation on RPM-based systems and have at least a basic
familiarity with rpmbuild and RPM spec file syntax.

Re-Thinking Spec Files

Right now many RPM spec files are in large parts just boiler plate code. In the current development cycle we try to get rid of this clutter by adding templates and automatic packaging features to rpmbuild. This will make packaging easier as it will provide pre-arranged building blocks and offer more control over larger sets of packages.
This will also change the relation between RPM as a multipurpose tool and the single package/packager by adding a layer in between take will take care of common tasks.
We will discuss how these features affect your packages and what you can do to help getting this right and how to get involved in taking ownership of this new intermediate layer.
