Observability has been tackling the complex problem of managing a huge volume of data. Still, we also need to remain laser-focused on making data actionable.

Gathering data to explore a problem with power outages creating connectivity issues and ultimately draining a laptop battery.

The Linux security module (LSM) mechanism was created as a result of the first Kernel Summit in 2001; it was designed to allow the development of multiple approaches to Linux security. That goal has been met; there are several security modules available with current kernels. The LSM subsystem was not designed, though, to allow multiple security modules to work together on the same system. Developers have been working to rectify that problem almost since the LSM subsystem was merged, but with limited success; some small security modules can be stacked on top of the "major" ones, but arbitrary stacking is not possible. Now, a full 20 years after security-module support went into the 2.5 development kernel series, it looks like a solution to the stacking problem may finally be getting closer.

At the recently concluded Netdev 0x16 conference, which was held both in Lisbon, Portugal and virtually, Stanford professor John Ousterhout gave his personal views on where networking in data centers needs to be headed. To solve the problems that he sees, he suggested some "fairly significant changes" to those environments, including leaving behind the venerable—ubiquitous—TCP transport protocol. While LWN was unable to attend the conference itself, due to scheduling and time-zone conflicts, we were able to view the video of Ousterhout's keynote talk to bring you this report.
