Aurae: Distributed Runtime - Fosdem 2023 - Rust DevRoom
Aurae: Distributed Runtime - Fosdem 2023 - Rust DevRoom
GitHub: https://github.com/aurae-runtime/aurae Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1GxKN5tyv4lV2aZdEOUqy3R9tVCat-vrFJyelgFX7b1A/edit#slide=id.g203787fca43_1_5 A new node init system written in Rust. In this talk I share the motivation, goals, and architecture of my new project Aurae. Informed by my experience of operating large production platforms I discuss my thesis of how bringing deliberate runtime controls to a node will unlock a new generation of higher order distributed systems. The audience walks away with an in-depth understanding of the current state of affairs Rust and the Aurae runtime project. We learn about my journey to Rust from working with Go in Kubernetes. I am an accomplished Go engineer who has made the jump into Rust and I believe my story is worth compiling and sharing with FOSDEM. I believe there will be many like me in the future. Aurae is on a mission to be the most loved and effective way of managing workloads on a single piece of hardware. My hope is that by bringing a better set of controls to a node, I can unlock brilliant higher order distributed systems in the future. Aurae takes ownership of all runtime processes on a single piece of hardware like systemd, and provides mTLS encrypted gRPC APIs (Aurae Standard Library) to manage the processes. Aurae has a new style of isolation called "Aurae Cells" that manage cgroups and namespaces directly from pid1. With Aurae Cells the project offers a way to slice up a system using various isolation strategies for enterprise workloads including MicroVMs.

How to use and build your own distroless images
How to use and build your own distroless images
Security and efficiency are key goals in production systems. This begins when we build our application images and look for a suitable base image. So what are good base images and how do distroless images fit into this picture?

Fedora packages versus upstream Flatpaks
Fedora packages versus upstream Flatpaks
The Flatpak package format promises to bring "the future of apps on Linux", but a Linux distribution like Fedora already provides packages in its native format—and built to its specifications. Flatpaks that come from upstream projects may or may not follow the packaging guidelines, philosophy, and practices so they exist in their own world, separate from the packages that come directly from Fedora. But those worlds have collided to a certain extent over the past year to two. Recently, a packager announced their plans to stop packaging the Bottles tool, used for running Windows programs in Wine-based containers on Linux, in favor of recommending that Fedora users install the upstream Flatpak.

When Cutting Costs, Don’t Lose Sight of Long-Term Organizational Health
When Cutting Costs, Don’t Lose Sight of Long-Term Organizational Health
After three years of adapting to disrupted business conditions due to the pandemic, the aftermath of inflation and fears of recession have leaders scrambling to get budgets in line with slower revenue growth. Riddled with the anxiety of making the wrong choices and having to deliver tough news, leaders are often prone to making short-sighted decisions when cutting costs. And when it comes to sustaining the intended outcomes of cut costs, most organizations are abysmal. Rather than grasping at straws or doing what seems “least painful,” these are the turbulent times when leaders must double down on protecting the long-term aspirations and culture of their organization. If you’re facing the need to tighten your belt, the authors present several ways to trim costs — without sacrificing the long-term health of the company.
