AuriStor is proud to once again sponsor the Linux Kernel AFS Hackathon &
BoF and the USENIX Vault '20 conference (co-located with FAST '20 and
NSDI '20). Here are a few schedule highlights
Monday Feb 24th 9:00am to 5:00pm PST
Linux Kernel AFS Hackathon. David Howells, the AuriStor developers,
other Linux kernel filesystem/network developers and Linux distribution
packagers participate in a hackathon to enhance/test:
1. the functionality of the native Linux afs filesystem module (kafs)
https://www.infradead.org/~dhowells/kafs/
2. the functionality of the rxrpc network module and AF_RXRPC
socket class
3. the functionality of FS-Cache, the persistent caching layer
that can be used by kafs, nfs, cifs, plan9, and cephfs.
4. the kafs-client configuration and systemd integration for
automatically mounting kafs and tools for managing authentication.
Linux Kernel AFS and AF_RXRPC are a standard part of the Fedora Core 31
Linux distribution. One explicit goal of this year's hackathon is
packaging kafs-client for use with Debian and Ubuntu.

The hackathon is open to all. Register at

Monday Feb 24th 6:30pm to 8:30pm PST
Birds of a Feather Meeting: The Future of AFS / AuriStorFS
Join us for pizza, status reports on the development of Linux Kernel AFS
and AuriStorFS, and open discussion of the future of only true global
file namespace. All existing AuriStorFS and AFS end users and
administrators are encouraged to attend.
Tuesday Feb 25th 3:00pm to 3:30pm PST
"Using kAFS on Linux for Network Home Directories"
Jonathan Billings, University of Michigan, College of Engineering, CAEN
(Vault '20 registration required)
The AFS filesystem has been widely in use at educational and research
institutions since the mid-80s, and continues to be a service that many
universities, including the University of Michigan, provides to
students, staff and faculty. The Linux kernel has recently improved
support for the AFS filesystem, and now some Linux distributions provide
support for AFS out of the box. I will discuss the history of AFS, the
in-kernel AFS client, and its performance compared to the out-of-kernel
OpenAFS client. I will demonstrate some of the benefits and limitations
when using AFS as a home directory in a modern Linux distribution such
as Fedora, including working with systemd and GNOME.
Tuesday Feb 25th 4:00pm to 4:30pm PST
"Understanding Kubernetes Storage: Getting in Deep by Writing a CSI Drive=
r"
Gerry Seidman, AuriStor
(Vault '20 registration required)
Understanding the many Kubernetes storage =E2=80=98objects=E2=80=99 along=
with their
not-always-obvious interaction and life-cycles can be daunting (Volumes,
Persistent Volumes, Persistent Volume Claims, Volume Attachments,
Storage Classes, Volume Snapshots, CSIDriver, CSINode, oh my...)
Perhaps the best ways to gleen a deep understand of these storage
objects and how storage-related scheduling works in Kubernetes is to
write a Container Storage Initiative (CSI) driver. While most of us will
never need to write a CSI driver, in this session we will make storage
with Kubernetes more accessible by exploring it from an inside-out
approach learned by writing a CSI Driver.
Gerry Seidman has a long career having designed and implemented many
complex, secure, high-performance, high-availability and fault tolerant
distributed systems. He is President at AuriStor where he is still very
hands-on including the design and implementation of the AuriStor/AFS
Kubernetes/CSI Driver.
As a sponsor, AuriStor is thrilled to offer a 20% discount on Vault '20
registration. Provide the code "ASFSVLT20" when completing your online
registration to receive the discount.

We hope to see you there.
