Talks

2017 Virtual Memory management and Virtualization in the Linux Kernel : from simple server workloads to cloud virtualization
45'
Andrea will explore recent advances in Memory Management related to the KVM Virtualization Hypervisor and the Kernel technologies that when properly combined creates the Container abstraction. Andrea will provide a high level perspective of the most notable milestones in the long term evolution of the Linux Virtual Memory and Virtualization subsystems. In addition, Andrea will explore recent advances in Memory Management related to the KVM Virtualization Hypervisor and the Kernel technologies that when properly combined creates the Container abstraction. Virtualization and Containers are the Linux Kernel foundations leveraged by Kubernetes, OpenShift, oVirt and OpenStack and Andrea will explore some of the tradeoffs between the two.
