CentOS Dojo at Brussels 2015
by Karanbir Singh 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

hi, We've got venue confirmation for the Dojo in Brussels on the 30th Jan 2015. I'd like to try and change the format of the Dojo's into 2015 to be more around hands on, tutorial like formats and lesser of ( but still have some ) regular talks. For the Dojo @ Brussels, we have 2 rooms and it would make sense to run two independant tracks. Perhaps one around Cloud and the other around traditional onpremise computing. Consider this also to be a Cfp. Event details will get managed on the wiki at http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2015 Note: this runs one day before Fosdem 2015.

Talk proposal for the next Dojo in Brussels (30th January 2015)
by Dario Faggioli 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hi all, I'd be interested in attending the next Dojo in Brussels. I actually wanted to propose a talk for it, titled "Tuning the Xen Hypervisor for Optimal Performance". Something similar to this has been delivered already at previous Dojos, but there is always something new to say about such a topic. :-) Here's a few more info: As we all know, the Xen hypervisor powers some of the largest and most popular public cloud services. Hence, the session could be useful to people wanting to tune and optimise their instances and the workload they're sending to the Cloud. In fact, Xen has several options and different kinds of guests. The talk would describe the various types of guests supported by Xen, give insights about their respective strengths and weaknesses and advise under what circumstances, and with what parameters, one should use each one of them, in order to achieve the best possible performance. Of course, some of what is happening with the CentOS Virt SIG would be mentioned, and I'd be available to try providing insights and answering questions about it, although I'm not directly involved in it. About me, I'm a Citrix employee, paid to work 100% on my time on Xen as an Open Source project. I'm in the same team as Roger, the guy that gave a talk similar to this at previous Dojos. Thanks and Regards, Dario PS. Sorry if I'm sending this as a new message, and not as a reply to the CfP, but I just subscribed to centos-promo! :-) -- <<This happens because I choose it to happen!>> (Raistlin Majere) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D, http://about.me/dario.faggioli Senior Software Engineer, Citrix Systems R&D Ltd., Cambridge (UK)

Talk proposal for the 2015.01.30 Dojo in Brussels
by Felipe Franciosi 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Hi All, I would like to propose a talk to the next Dojo following KB's comments for more hands-on/tutorial style presentations. Title: Optimising Xen Deployments for Storage Performance This would include a review of the available storage backends for Xen (e.g. tapdisk, qemu, blkback) and their characteristics when used on different types of storage (e.g. FC/iSCSI/NFS, HDDs, SSDs). I will follow with available tools for monitoring storage performance and diagnosing problems on various deployments. Provided (reasonable) internet access is available, most of the presentation will be hands-on on live systems using cutting edge storage platforms. If not, I will use a laptop to run the tutorial and compare storage types such as a local SSD and an external (slow) USB drive. That can be done in 45 mins. After the talk, I expect the audience to be well-versed in: - Understanding the performance characteristics of various storage workloads - What are the pros and cons of different storage systems - Choosing the appropriate storage backend for a certain workload/platform pair - Monitoring and diagnosing issues related to storage performance in Xen deployments p.s. I still need to get travel approval for Brussels. p.s.2. I also apologise for posting outside of the thread, but like others I just signed up to this list. =) Best Regards, Felipe Staff Software Engineer XenServer Datapath Virtualisation 101 Science Park | Milton Road | Cambridge | CB4 0FY | UK T: +44 (0)1223 225909 | F: +44 (0)1223 225901 felipe.franciosi(a)citrix.com http://www.citrix.com
