FUDCon F11 Day 2
Barcamp Day!!!
Below is a run down of the sessions I attended.
State of the Wiki / Docs project presented by Ian Weller and Karsten Wade. - This session went over the needs for wiki in regards to categories, namespaces etc as well as how the community can help out with this. The Docs presentation covered possible CRM solutions that can be used.
SVirt presented by Dan Walsh - This session was very enlightening as I expected it would be. It covered some of the issues of with SELinux using Xen virtualization and how it can be resolved using KVM and SELinux.
Puppet presented by Jeroen Van Meeuwen - This session went over the general concept of puppet as well as some advanced configuration. I personally plan on implementing the use of puppet at a few of my client sites now that I understand it much better.
Fedora Cloud presented by Mike McGrath - This session covered the concept of the cloud being built by Fedora. The whole concept is utilizing ovirt. Currently this is a work in progress but should be ready to deploy shortly.
KVM presented by Sunny Dubey - This session was of particular interest to me as I am currently interested in migrating some of my clients over from Xen virtualization to KVM. The presentation covered real use cases as well as why KVM is a better solution than some other well-known virtualization solutions. One of the big topics discussed was KVM’s lack of a gui interface for management and the importance of having one available as soon as possible. Whether this neede GUI end up being ovirt or another solution we will have to wait and see what if anything the community may come up with.
FUDPub was a fun as expected.
Stay tuned for more tomorrow.
