Doing for Sustainability, What Open Source Did for Software - Asim Hussain, Green Software Foundation
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
In the realm of sustainability, grassroots initiatives often emerge as powerful catalysts for change, driven by the collective wisdom of practitioners. Enter Impact Framework, an open-source tool designed to quantify the environmental impact of software. It takes observations you can easily gather from running systems such as CPU utilization, page views, installs, and prompts, and induces them into environmental impacts like carbon, waste, and water. Drawing parallels to the evolution of open-source software, Impact Framework embodies the ethos of openness—open source, open standards, and open data—as the bedrock of its mission. In this talk, I'll explain the history of Impact Framework and its core concepts and take the audience through a live exercise to demonstrate how to use it to measure the environmental impacts of a piece of software. As we embark on this journey, we echo the sentiment of our community: to do for sustainability what open source did for software—a seismic shift rather than a mere agreement. Join us as we explore the transformative power of open-source principles in driving sustainable impact at scale.

Mastering Windows Monitoring in Kubernetes Environments - Mansi Kulkarni & Kanika Rana, Red Hat
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
Are you struggling to monitor Windows on Kubernetes as a developer? With the limited support stack available, it can be a challenging task to keep track of everything. Kubernetes now supports HostProcess containers on Windows nodes. As a result, the Windows exporter, a Prometheus exporter for Windows, can be deployed as a host process pod. This feature is introduced as an add-on in the kube-prometheus project. This talk will implement a monitoring stack using Windows exporter on a Windows node in Kubernetes. We start by diving into various metric collectors, their functionalities, and utilization. Subsequently, demonstrate how to implement the Windows exporter, configure a ServiceMonitor, and deploy a Prometheus instance. Once Prometheus is up and running, we highlight the differences in the monitoring approach compared to Linux machines. Finally, we complete the monitoring experience with a Grafana dashboard analyzing the collected metrics.

Understanding Cultural Differences When Approaching OSS - Daniel Izquierdo Cortázar, Bitergia & Willem Jiang, ByteDance
Monday September 16, 2024 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Willem and Daniel have been discussing on cultural differences between China and Spain and how to effectively engage newcomers from different regions. Two books were used as starting point: The Culture Map book by Erin Meyer and From the Soils by Fei Xiaotong, a sociological study of the Chinese society written in the 40’s. While Western societies tend to be more individualistics when approaching an OSS community, according to the book From the Soils, Chinese society works in a more ‘ring based’ scenarios where network of trust are quite important over the years. As an example in Chinese society, if you want to do business with another person, you need to be introduced by a trusted person. It is like a social currency to play with. In the case of the OSS communities, your personal career and public record can talk for you, so you do not need others to introduce you. Your own brand is your social currency. In China, an extra step may be required and a trusted person may introduce you. This talk will share experiences and good practices learned over the years to engage and onboard newcomers. Specially, those that face specific barriers such as language or cultural ones.

Demystifying Secure Application Communication with Zero Trust and Istio Without Sidecars - Lin Sun, solo.io
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:55 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
Modern cloud-native applications are frequently distributed across multiple Kubernetes clusters or virtual machines. But what exactly are the requirements for securing communication among these cloud native applications? Is encryption alone sufficient? Do applications require unique identities? How can we ensure the integrity of our applications' data? Do we need to control who can access what? And what are the considerations when dealing with multi-cluster environments? This presentation will explore the essentials of securing application communications within a zero-trust architecture framework. Lin will explain how mutual TLS (mTLS) meets these requirements through its handshake and record protocols. Moreover, she’ll demonstrate live how you can implement mTLS for applications by simply labeling their namespaces, without any restart of applications or sidecars using Istio's ambient mesh.

Developing on Containers with Dev Containers - Hrittik Roy, Loft Labs
Monday September 16, 2024 12:15 - 12:55 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
Cloud computing has been primarily used by companies for production environments for quite some time now. However, a small group of users have found ways to move their development environment to the cloud. This allows them to access all their shared libraries, build tools, and software development kits (SDKs) on the cloud. As a result, they can build and ship their applications natively on the cloud. Gartner reports that 60% of cloud workloads will be developed and deployed using Container Development Environments (CDEs). In this talk, you will primarily focus on how you can simplify the structure of your projects by utilizing modern standards like devcontainer.json and open source CDEs such as DevPod ( devpod.sh ) to reduce the cognitive load for contributors and eliminate unnecessary obstacles. Moreover, DevPod handles the lifecycle of the infrastructure it runs on, and it can even suspend cloud resources automatically to save on costs. By the end of the talk, you will make local development much easier while saving costs.

Linux in Space: Fault Detection, Recovery and Fault-Tolerant System Designs - Lenka Kosková Třísková & Lukas Mazl, Technical University of Liberec & Tomas Novotny, VZLU
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:55 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Linux in space must be highly reliable and autonomous, both because of the hostile external environment, the physical unavailability of the system, and the limited data flow and direct system administration capabilities. Radiation and other external influences lead to sudden shutdowns and system reboots. Also, data stored in storage devices are at risk of radiation and physical effects. Therefore, the design of a satellite always considers which parts of the system to duplicate or otherwise insure and how to ensure the system's ability to detect an error and recover. In the design of Linux4Space, we have encountered various approaches to solving the problem (from "we have two SD cards, and one is sure to last six months" to "fully duplicated storage and CPU with error detection"). We have reviewed the designs of other satellites and systems. In this paper, we provide some specific examples from natural satellites and summarize everything we have been able to find and track down for various other solutions, examples, and demonstrations.

The Devboards Community for Android - Amit Pundir, Linaro Ltd.
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 - 14:55 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
"Which device prototype or a development board do you suggest?" - got to be one of the most frequently asked question in the embedded workspace. Last year EOSS/ELC'23 was no different and we ran into similar questions around Android development boards. That planted the idea of enabling a community around the development boards or devices that provide decent AOSP (Android Open Source Project) support.

So we started working on The Devboards for Android community initiative https://devboardsforandroid.linaro.org to enable a collaborative space for AOSP system developers. We briefly talked about it at the Android Microconf at LPC'23 as well.

Overall idea of this project is to provide an umbrella space for collaboration and consolidate all the resources about the devices that are known to support AOSP reliably. For each supported device, links are made available to the kernel source, local manifests, device specific files and binaries (like bootloader, firmware, HALs) and documentation. We hope that this initiative will be instrumental in sharing and co-developing features like generic HALs across multiple devices and possibly enabling the supported devices with LAVA CI in the future.

Lightning Talk: Cognitive and Self-Adaptive System for Effective Distributed-Tracing (Using Jaeger, Open Tracing) - Susobhit Panigrahi, Broadcom
Monday September 16, 2024 14:45 - 14:55 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
In the realm of distributed systems and microservices architecture,dynamic API tracing systems play a pivotal role in diagnosing API failures and performance issues.However, current implementations often sample only a fraction of traces(1-5%) due to storage and scale constraints,leading to a skewed distribution favoring normal execution traces.This bias hampers effective diagnosis,impacting both developers and SRE teams.Our proposed solution employs a Machine Learning and Cognitive approach to rectify this imbalance in trace collection. By dynamically adapting based on actual data, the system learns to capture higher-interest traces, helping root causing issues. This innovative approach has significantly improved the Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) for SRE teams, revolutionizing issue triaging within the organization. The Adaptive Sampling technique, driven by data analysis, standardizes trace distribution, reduces storage requirements, and dynamically adjusts the sampling rate.It lowers costs & resource utilization for tracing services, also streamlines trace metric analysis for SRE,offering a forward-looking solution to common challenges in the Observability and Infrastructure space.

Heterogeneous Linux and RTOS Software Architecture for Low-Price RISC-V Cores - Jim Huang, National Cheng Kung University
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:50 - 10:30 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
SoCs are increasingly heterogeneous, featuring multiple processor clusters and special-purpose accelerators. Consequently, Asymmetric Multiprocessing (AMP) systems must support different operating environments concurrently on the same chip. This talk will outline the software architecture necessary to develop applications for AMP systems, enabling operating systems to interact across a range of complex homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures. This allows AMP applications to utilize the parallelism offered by various configurations. We perform prototyping on low-cost RISC-V processor cores configured as AMP systems running the Linux kernel and RTOSes such as ThreadX. This setup involves an IPC layer that implements RPMSG communication between cores. Additionally, our proxy infrastructure showcases the ability of a proxy on the master core to handle POSIX library calls from RTOS-based remote contexts.

Secure and Encrypted Boot in Zephyr RTOS - Parthiban N, Linumiz
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:20 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
MCUboot enables secure booting of Zephyr RTOS using asymmetric cryptographic signature verification with a public key. The hash of the public key is embedded or compiled with the MCUboot binary by default, which is used for checking the integrity of the public key. To tamper-proof, as an alternate secure boot option, the hash of the public key can be stored securely and retrieved when hardware keys are enabled. Security of embedded SoC's (e.g., i.MX RT) offers more capabilities, such as High Assurance Boot (HAB), Data Co-Processor (DCP), or Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M) implementing the Trustzone for SoC's (e.g., nRF91) to enable secure storage with hardware crypto acceleration or external security modules (e.g., TPM, EdegeLock) to store keys in hardware vaults.

This talk will detail MCUboot secure booting with hardware keys. NXP i.MX RT as an example using HAB for booting singed and encrypted bootloader MCUboot, enabling hardware root of trust, and booting Zephyr RTOS using keys from OTP for verification. We will also see about using the TF-M backend and OTP for secure booting Trustzone-enabled SoCs.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 12:35 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
Part art, part science, prompt engineering is the process of crafting input text to fine-tune a given large language model for best effect. Foundation models have billions of parameters and are trained on terabytes of data to perform a variety of tasks, including text-, code-, or image generation, classification, conversation, and more. A subset known as large language models are used for text- and code-related tasks. When it comes to prompting these models, there isn't just one right answer. There are multiple ways to prompt them for a successful result. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of prompt engineering, from monitoring your token usage to balancing intelligence and security. You will be guided through a range of exercises where you will be able to utilize the different techniques, dials, and levers illustrated in order to get the output you desire from the model. Participants of this workshop will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of prompt engineering along with the practical skills required to achieve the best results with open source large language models.

Dude, Where’s My Error?: How OpenTelemetry Records Errors, and Why It Does It Like That - Adriana Villela, ServiceNow Cloud Observability & Reese Lee, New Relic
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
When an app crashes or throws an exception, these errors are not just useful, but vital, to record. However: * How an error is visualized in a backend may not be where you think it’ll be, or how you expect it to look. * Only looking at errors could mean you’re missing out on understanding your system holistically, including other failures that may be causing user dissatisfaction. In this session, Adriana & Reese will examine errors using OpenTelemetry (OTel). They will discuss how OTel records errors, how to enhance spans with metadata to streamline troubleshooting, and explore the distinction between errors and exceptions. They'll also look at how the same error is visualized in different backends, and teach about the different span kinds and how they affect error reporting. Attendees will be empowered to navigate the complexities of error handling in their software applications by leveraging OTel’s capabilities to better understand how things are working (or not) in their apps.

Let Them Eat CAKES: A Sweet Dive Into a Modern Cloud Networking Stack. - Christian Posta, Solo.io
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 2)
Previous generations of networking made up of point solutions organized by Conway's law are inconsistent, incompatible, and slow down developers. Open source alternatives have emerged to provide compelling networking solutions for Platform Engineers but may overlap. In this talk, we introduce the concept of "the CAKES stack" for modern cloud networking based on OSS projects: (C)ilium, (A)mbient mesh, (K)ubernetes, (E)nvoy, and (S)PIFFE/SPIRE. A twist on the stack, BAKES, includes (B)ackstage.io for a platform's internal developer portal which ties everything together like frosting. Each layer in the "cake" was specifically chosen as it represents the "best of breed" for the role required. These technologies come together to provide a consistent solution for zero trust, observability, ingress/egress, traffic control and significantly improved developer experience and velocity.

However, many open source users see incorporating telemetry into a project as an invasion of privacy. Within the CHAOSS community, we discuss and define metrics to understand and measure project health. Many of these same metrics can be used to infer characteristics about project users as they are part of the extended community. In this talk, we will discuss what we can and can’t learn about our users from existing publicly available metrics while respecting the privacy of our communities.

Tutorial: Build AI-Supercharged RAG Apps with a Vector Database - JP Hwang, Weaviate
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 15:35 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
AI is "the" hot new thing. But what's AI got to do with databases? As it turns out, quite a lot. The right database can help your application, business, or customer get more out of AI, faster. What's more, the right database can even make the AI models themselves work better. This workshop will show you how all of this works through a hands-on experience with an "AI-native" database. AI-native databases are designed to empower builders and developers to build AI-powered tools. You will see how they enable better search, integrate with generative AI models, and improve generative models' capabilities. You will be getting hands-on experience with the key pieces of technology, like vector indexes, vector and hybrid search, retrieval augmented generation, and multi-tenancy. Even better, this will use an open-source stack for everything from embeddings, to a vector database and a language model. So join us to learn how to give your app AI superpowers.

Navigating the Open Source Observability Landscape - Dotan Horovits, Logz.io, CNCF Ambassador
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
In the cloud native era systems are getting ever more dynamic and complex. With containers and microservices architecture, monitoring and troubleshooting systems is more challenging than ever before. The open source community has risen up to the challenge and has delivered solutions that fit modern environments. Established open source projects such as Prometheus and the ELK Stack have gathered massive adoption, while new projects keep emerging and uncovering yet untapped possibilities such as continuous profiling and eBPF. Alongside tools, open standards, such as OpenMetrics and OpenTelemetry, are emerging to converge the industry and prevent vendor lock-in. Goodness, it’s hard to keep track of all that goodness. In this talk Horovits will talk about the recommended open source tools and standards for observability (looking also beyond logs, metrics and traces), and how to combine them to help you achieve effective observability in your environment.

Reducing Bias in AI with Open Source - Abubakar Siddiq Ango, GitLab
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Bias in AI has become a hot topic and increasingly, we are seeing how dangerous it is. Dangerous because AI is gain more influence in decisions that impact lives, decisions about who gets employment, healthcare or economic development and who gets profiled for crime, extra search at the airport, and so on. Even tools designed to identify AI-generated content have shown bias against non-native speakers based on their choice of verbiage. To reduce bias, experts often refer to having diverse training data and cognitive diversity, but where else is this achievable than in Open-source communities? This session is designed to open up discussions around reducing bias in AI with Open source. Abubakar will start by sharing examples of biases, sharing strategies to leverage open-source communities, and opening the floor for attendees to share their opinions and views, with the goal of creating a resource that will be valuable to the community.

Who Broke the Build? — Using Kuttl to Improve E2E Testing and Release Faster - Ram Mohan Rao Chukka, JFrog
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
No one wants to be responsible for breaking the build. But what can you do as a developer to avoid being the bad guy? How can project leads enable their teams to reduce the occurrence of broken builds? In talking within our own teams, we discovered that many developers weren’t running sufficient integration and End to End tests in their local environments because it’s too difficult to set up and administer test environments in an efficient way. That’s why we decided to rethink our entire local testing process in hopes of cutting down on the headaches and valuable time wasted. Enter Kuttl. Connecting Kuttl to CI builds has empowered our developers to easily configure a development environment locally that accurately matches the final test environment — without needing to become an expert CI admin themselves. These days, we hear, “Who broke the build?” far less often — and you can too!

Fast & Furious: From Zero to Open Source Community in 9 Weeks - Leslie Hawthorn, Red Hat GmbH & Martin Hickey, IBM
Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
When you join an open source community, do you ever wonder how it got started? Was infrastructure like CI/CD, code checking tools, docs, etc. started from day 0 or built bit-by-bit from day 1 onwards? Do people assume particular roles or does everyone just jump in to get things rolling? Do you build up some capabilities first and then open it up, or just go gung-ho? In this talk, we tell the story of how an idea germinated from the IBM AI research team and investigated on a dev laptop led to IBM and Red Hat building out an entire project to successfully create the InstructLab open source community in just 9 weeks. We will treat you to a behind the scenes look at how a huge undertaking like this can be realized - warts and all. We invite you to join us for our story of how a dedicated team working together took complex AI concepts that seemed near-impossible to make open source and built a community that allows anyone to contribute improvements to LLMs. Attendees will leave with a thorough understanding of how to create the scaffolding for a successful project opening in a short time frame, with all requisite buzzwords like “GenAI” included, but not obnoxiously so.

Tackling Language Barriers in Open Source Docs: A Case Study of openEuler's Globalization Efforts - Helen Liu, openEuler
Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
In today's interconnected world, open source thrives on collaboration, yet language barriers in documentation impede knowledge exchange. As languages like Chinese and Japanese gain prominence, native speakers play increasingly vital roles. Yet, the lack of universal understanding necessitates a two-step localization process, from the source language to English and then to local languages. Amidst this backdrop, in OpenAtom openEuler, a pioneering project born in China which has been spearheading internationalization efforts, we initiated G11N SIG, an instrumental globalization group in tackling these challenges head-on. As a maintainer of G11N and a social media operator who is deeply attuned to localization challenges, I bring firsthand experience and expertise to the table. In this session, we'll embark on a comprehensive exploration of openEuler's journey, delving into successful strategies, encountered challenges, and the lessons learned in surmounting language barriers. We'll shed light on AI's assistance in localization efforts and the empowering potential of social media in enhancing accessibility.

Lightning Talk: Building the AIverse: Standardizing Autonomous AI Agents for a Decentralized Fediverse - Chris Xie, Futurewei
Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:10 - 14:20 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
The decentralized fediverse is poised to revolutionize how we interact online, but it still lacks a crucial component: standardized, interoperable AI agents. Current AI agent frameworks are numerous, but fragmented, leading to inefficiencies and duplication of effort. This talk proposes a future vision where decentralized fediverse is empowered by standardized, autonomous AI agents with human-in-the-loop, enhancing our daily lives both online and offline. We'll discuss the need for a standard architecture for AI agent frameworks, incorporating AI safety rules and sustainable development principles, to ensure the new "AIverse" is built responsibly and sustainably. Join us in exploring how this vision can become a reality.

Lightning Talk: Millisecond Scale-to-Zero and the Quest to Never Pay for Idle Again - Felipe Huici, Unikraft GmbH
Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:20 - 14:30 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
Cloud traffic is intermittent and bursty, but cloud bills are on 24/7. While many cloud providers have scale to zero mechanisms (i.e., putting an app to sleep if it's idle, and waking it up when requests for it arrive once again), these are slow, taking seconds or minutes to kick-in. In this lightning talk, we will show that leveraging tech from the Linux Foundation OSS Unikraft project (www.unikraft.org) we can fundamentally disrupt the semantics of scale to zero and autoscale in modern cloud deployments. Concretely, we will demo the ability to (1)*cold* start standard apps (web servers, databases, etc) in milliseconds; (2) scale them to 0 within milliseconds; and (3) wake them up within milliseconds of the next request coming in -- within an Internet RTT and thus not noticeable by end users. Finally, for a bit of fun, we will push the server to the limit, by loading it with thousands of these scaled to zero instances -- and take bets from the audience as to where the system might break.

Lightning Talk: RISC-V and AI: How an Open-Standards ISA Underpins Portability for AI/ML Applications - Philipp Tomsich, VRULL GmbH
Wednesday September 18, 2024 15:20 - 15:30 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
RISC-V, an open-standards Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), provides the freedom to add instructions for domain-specific acceleration. This session highlights the significance of ongoing standardization efforts at RISC-V aimed at enhancing AI/ML capabilities through specific architectural enhancements: optimized instructions for matrix operations, efforts to merge GPGPU-style processing into a coherent, multi-paradigm compute resource, and support for emerging paradigms like spiking neural networks. This positions RISC-V to become a "lingua franca" for portable AI/ML libraries and kernels that can transparently be moved between compatible hardware from multiple vendors.

Scalable Multi-Node AI Workloads in Multi-Tenant AI Clouds Using SDN K8s Networking - Girish Moodalbail, NVIDIA Inc & Leonid Grossman US, NVIDIA
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
Within AI workloads, a few key traffic flows drive significant data movement between GPUs across nodes. Optimizing these flows for efficient bandwidth, low latency, and minimal jitter is critical to prevent GPU underutilization. Additionally, in the context of AI Cloud infrastructure, accommodating numerous users and concurrent AI workloads introduces competition for shared network resources, potentially impacting application performance. Hence, ensuring isolation between workloads within and across tenants is paramount. This session will explain ways to achieve network isolation (overlay virtual network topology) and efficient bandwidth (end-to-end QoS) between AI workloads using Open Source SDN solution, namely, Open vSwitch (OVS), Open Virtual Network (OVN), and OVN-Kubernetes CNI. With OVS-offloadable hardware the gains are much more significant.

Panel Discussion: The Parallel Universes of ISPOs and OSPOs - Clare Dillon, Lero, CURIOSS; Tom Sadler, BBC; Katie Schueths, Analog Device, Inc.; and Russell Rutledge, InnerSource Commons Foundation
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
You know all about OSPOs - but have you heard about ISPOs? If an OSPO can be defined as the center of gravity for an organization’s open source operations and structure, then an ISPO performs a similar role for InnerSource. InnerSource, the use of open source methods to create proprietary code, is often used as a step on the path to open source readiness. Last year, InnerSource Commons launched an ISPO Working Group for those involved in enabling InnerSource within their organizations. Some of those involved work in or with OSPOs. In this panel session, moderator Clare Dillon will discuss the emergence of ISPOs with ISPO Working Group members. The panel will explore the role of an ISPO, the parallels to an OSPO, and where the two organizations may differ in terms of objectives or activities. Join us to learn more about this emerging trend and to hear real-life ISPO experiences from organizations operating in health, media, and technology verticals.

RISC-V: Maturing an Open Standards Development Process - Philipp Tomsich, VRULL GmbH
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
With its global uptake, the RISC-V specifications and RISC-V International, as the standards-development body, are facing an unprecedented challenges: the international adoption of RISC-V as an alternative, open-standards ISA and its role in various digital sovereignty initiatives worldwide are putting a geopolitical spotlight on the the standards and specifications released by RISC-V International. Safeguarding the protected status as a standards-development body and ensuring ongoing, constructive collaboration between geographies in the setting of future standards, requires a focus on policies and processes in our standards-development process. This session compares the existing RISC-V specification development with the ISO processes, and provides an outlook to some of the process improvements underway that will lead to an even closer alignment: the ultimate goal being a path to publication of the publicly available RISC-V specifications as international standards. We will provide an overview of the role of the RISC-V Technical Steering Committee, into the quality-gates a proposed standard must pass, and the consensus-building processes within each specification group.

Online Hands-on Tech Docs, the Easy Way! - Jorge Morales Pou, Broadcom & Graham Dumpleton, VMware
Wednesday September 18, 2024 16:05 - 16:45 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Have you ever had the need to show a live version of what your technical documentation is presenting? Don't you agree that seeing things in action is the best way to convey your documentation goals? Have you ever had to deal with the complexity of the learners' heterogeneous environments? Or in other words, have the learners of your product wanted to learn how your project works but some have windows, some linux others mac, some constrained laptops, some don't have enough memory? For this problem online playgrounds for hands-on learning that help you deliver a hands-on experience via a web browser is the best way to go. But many of these do cost a lot of money, while this runs on containers on a simple Kubernetes cluster. In this workshop, we will demonstrate Educates, an open source hands-on workshop platform that can help you deliver hands-on learning experience as well as workshops and demos, in a very easy, reproducible and cost effective way. And we will be using an Educates workshop, which means Inception. This technology is the one used by VMware's Spring.Academy, Tanzu.Academy and Kube.Academy. I encourage you to spend this short time with us. It'll change your life.
