Desktop Linux Management at Facebook

How we manage Facebook's desktop Linux fleet, and how it is positioned as a way to drive features into our server fleet.
How we manage Facebook's desktop Linux fleet, and how it is positioned as a way to drive features into our server fleet. Facebook runs CentOS on its server fleet, and offers Fedora (and soon, CentOS) as supported Linux distributions on laptops and desktops. This is a recent development - we previously recommended Ubuntu LTS as a self-supported option, but found that switching to Fedora (and officially supporting it) allows for not only reusing the infrastructure already used in the server fleet (e.g. the pipeline for creating packages) but also to serve as an integration point for driving features into CentOS. I'll also discuss how we manage the desktop fleet, and contrast it with how servers are managed.

While we all probably think we're doing all the DevOps stuff the right way (and we do, don't we?), drift happens. Even as an experienced Terraform user, as your infrastructure team and codebase grows, it often becomes harder to track drift. I'll share here war stories from different teams, and show common pitfalls of popular commands we use when we want to know what's changed in our infrastructures.

“We are all YAML engineers now” as Bob Walker said in 2018 in Ghent. So we now need something to manage these millions of lines of YAML. There’s the “Kubernetes application management tools” list by Bryan Grant with over 120 tool aiming at config management for Kubernetes. This area is evolving fast, and as k8s users we need some guidance to make informed decisions on what to use. In this talk I’ll describe the problem I need to solve and take a look into what we can learn from the ...

Small businesses and non-profits may opt for Platform-as-a-Service solutions such as Heroku to avoid the operational burden of managing their own infrastructure. However, PaaS solutions quickly become cost-prohibitive for compute- or memory-intensive applications. In this talk, I’ll demo an open source infrastructure automation toolchain based on Ansible, Github Actions, Vagrant, Packer, Terraform, and Sentry. Once instrumented, this toolchain incurs a $0 recurring cost and can be safely and ...

You need to migrate some workloads from a private datacenter to public cloud. The result? The unavoidable hybrid environment. How do you observe traffic and mitigate risky changes to each system? In this talk, I’ll discuss how you can supercharge your cloud migrations with a combination of network automation for your datacenter and a service mesh across environments.

The "pet vs cattle" thing is getting pretty long in the tooth, but the one thing one keeps hearing is that the management layer somehow always remains a pet. While there is certainly some truth to that - you don't want to rebuild your management plane every day - wouldn't it be cool if you could?
