In the last years the kernel's block I/O layer has been subject to quite some substantial changes. Ever increasing IOPS rates delivered by Flash based storage and high end SAN infrastructures demanded a refactoring of the I/O layer towards a lockless, multicore utilizing design.

This talk will give a short introduction to both, the classic block layer and the so called multi queue block layer.

presented by Owen Synge

This talk is targeted at devops people who will need to automate things that have never been automated before. This talk will explain what is involved in creating a salt module up to the standard of built in modules. The talk will explain how execution modules, state modules and libraries can come together to make your product work for complex projects.

The presenter has experience of automa...

After the SUSE Manager team had chosen Salt as the future engine behind SUSE Manager, Joachim "Joe" Werner, the product manager for SUSE Manager, spent some time to learn the project hands-on.

This is a very personal report about that experience, from extending Salt with code to manage WIFI-controlled LED lamps for a demo at the SUSECon conference to first experiments with writing a Salt mod...

Our task is to distribute software to Windows clients. Our network contains slow links and relay-servers, which must be staged up. Our goals are 1) reduce WAN traffic, 2) allow unlimited size, 3) allow unlimited number of clients in one rollout, and 4) start rollout without delay.

Idea :: BitTorrent Peer-to-peer (P2P) reduces WAN traffic because if prefers local content over remote con...

During 2013 we provided some data about numbers of users and downloads of openSUSE. Now in 2016 we have a different scenario: Tumbleweed is the a new kind of rolling distribution that base the quality on automatic tests (openQA) and a better development process. Leap is also a new kind of stable distribution, a chimeric approach that mix the head of a enterprise product (SLE) and the heard of F...

presented by Frederic Crozat

Starting with (upcoming) Leap 42.2 and SLE 12 SP2, a lot of cooperation has been done to bridge gaps between the two distributions.

We'll talk of one specific example, GNOME desktop, where openSUSE and SLE teams worked together on improving our common work and how it helped both teams.

This is still a work in progress at the time of this writing, we'll be sharing what we achieved, how we ...

systemd has been officially introduced by openSuSE since end of 2011 through the first release of openSUSE-12.1.

However a couple of the bugs opened against systemd recently shows that there are some misunderstandings about one of the basic but fundamental concept of systemd: service dependencies and orderings and how to translate such constraints into a native unit file.

This might a...

Content: Leap and the SUSE Linux Enterprise products share a lot of things in common. At the same time, they vary in a lot of aspects. Some of them are caused by fundamental differences in the philosophy and the basic properties of the projects. With the upcoming SP2 of CODE 12 of SUSE Linux Enterprise it's time to look at those differences ...

Designers in an open source community or environment are not easy; neither for the designer, neither for those working with her/him. Open Source and Free Software communities have an alternative work and collaboration culture compared to classic working environments. In this talk, we can learn though how to add transparency to our workflow, and praise "sharing is caring" more than "made by me"....

Nearly everybody has probably run into this situation: after applying updates or other changes to the system, it no longer comes up after a reboot. Especially with a rolling release, this can happen very fast. Most of the time, this means that the system needs to be recovered with the help of a rescue system or even a backup. Wouldn't it be much better if you only needed tell grub, boot the sta...

Booting is hard. Booting in the ARM world is even harder. State of the art are a dozen different boot loaders that may or may not deserve that name. Each gets configured differently and each has its own pros and cons.

As a distribution this is a nightmare. Configuring each and every one of them complicates code that really should be very simple.

To solve the problem, we can just add anoth...
