REDUCTION IN A LAND<br>
OF VIRTUAL MACHINES<br>
AND SMALL DEVICES<br>
<br>
presented by Brian MacLeod<br>
<br>
Synopsis:<br>
-- Files everywhere, multiple computers in rooms, and a network that keeps<br>
falling behind the times. Sounds like your workplace, right? For many<br>
of us, this also describes our home.<br>
-- This maddening mix led to a reformulation of my digital home life that<br>
scraps old servers and desktops for Virtual Machines and network "appliance"<br>
devices to restore sanity, reduce power consumption, and improve reliability.<br>
Armed with a little common sense and tools from the Linux sysadmin world,<br>
engineering a better solution comes into reach.<br>
:: Tools mentioned: NFS, Ansible, CFengine, SSH, OpenVPN<br>
:: Tech level: beginner, overview<br>
<br>
Bio:<br>
-- Brian MacLeod is a Systems Engineer with PACE at Georgia Tech, working<br>
on OS management, storage, and backup infrastructure for researchers<br>
to use in their computing needs.<br>
