<p>The use of Bare Metal to run containerized workload is coming back into popularity.
There are multiple reasons for this increase of interest. First, the rise of big data analytics, high performance computing, machine learning workloads that need high-bandwidth and low latency and sometimes even requires access to special hardware devices like GPUs or DPUs. And at the same time, in the telecommunication space, the 5G networks technology stacks that drive the need for IPv6, SR-IOV, Container Network Functions (CNFs), NUMA topologies, and other innovations in containerized applications on bare metal.</p>
<p>All of these emphasize the need for the ability to easily create Bare Metal based OpenShift clusters as automatically as possible.</p>
<p>Central Infrastructure Management (CIM) exposes an intuitive user interface, allowing the infrastructure administrator to define a pool of Bare Metal machines making them available for users to independently create OpenShift clusters from them.</p>
<p>Assisted Installer is an operator that introduces a new way to deploy a new OpenShift cluster on bare metal basically by only booting the nodes that will be part of the cluster, with an ISO it generates. The Assisted Installer will report inventory, run validations and orchestrate the needed steps based on the user parameters.</p>
<p>CIM and Assisted Installer are components of Open Cluster Management (OCM), an operator that enables a single OCP cluster to manage a fleet of clusters.</p>
<p>In this session, you will learn about Central Infrastructure Management and Assisted Installer architecture and its components. We will discuss the installation flow and how the components interact with each other. Finally, we will demonstrate how to build a pool of Bare Metal and install an OpenShift cluster on them via the CIM user interface.</p>

<p>CUE (https://cuelang.org/) solves a previously unsolved technical problem in the configuration space. It does so by taking a compositional approach that reduces the complexity of managing configuration from a combinatorial problem to a linear problem. CUE is based on 20 years of experience in the field of configuration. Its declarative, aspect-oriented approach is powerful yet simple, making it possible to manage large amounts of configuration data and policies in multiple formats (JSON, ...

<p>With the Foreman Project dropping support for EL7 in Foreman 3.3 (~Summer 2022), it's finally time to tackle that migration to EL8 you have been putting off for a while now. In this session we will present various ways how you can migrate your installation from EL7 to EL8, with the main focus on the in-place upgrade using LEAPP/ELevate.</p> <p>The Foreman Project is planning to <a ...

<p>With redpesk, we provide customers the ability to cross-build an embedded, CentOS Stream-based Linux distribution in the cloud. This requires a significant infrastructure: Koji/RPM builders, Angular-based WebUI, Gitlab forge, network and RPM package dependency management, Qemu test lab management, all need to come together and be connected, in a mix of Qemu virtual machines and LXC containers. Fortunately, Ansible and Proxmox comes to the rescue to manage this complexity.</p> <p>In this talk, ...

<p>Things like Infrastructure as Code, Service Discovery and Config Management can and have helped us to quickly build and rebuild infrastructure but we haven't nearly spend enough time to train our self to review, monitor and respond to outages.</p> <p>With the the introduction of CI/CD best practices into our day to day workflows we protect ourselves for introducing "bad" code into production and exposing flaws to our (end-)users. But what about influences from bad actors in- and out-side our ...

<p>ARA Records Ansible playbooks and makes them easier to understand and troubleshoot. The author will explain why he created the project back in 2016 and how it might be useful for a wide range of use cases wherever Ansible runs from. Including a live demo, we'll see how it works under the hood and you can expect to walk away from the presentation with an understanding on how to get started for your own Ansible playbooks within minutes.</p> <p>ARA Records Ansible playbook results in local ...

<p>Flatcar Container Linux is a minimal base OS to run containers. As a friendly fork of CoreOS Container Linux it continues the project under a new name. The main features are the A/B partitions for automatic updates and rollbacks, and the integration of Ignition for declarative configuration on first boot. Declarative configuration is a key element for managing machines following the principle of Immutable Infrastructure, but causes friction if it means that the whole machine has to be ...
