Hi all, Thanks to those who attended, here are my minutes from the meeting.
===== Conferences past and future ===== IO Visor Summit We had this last week, the conference room was packed and we had a few remote attendees as well. We are working to upload the videos, collect the slides (please send them to Debra if you haven't already!), and maybe write a blog post. If you weren't able to attend, look out for an email shortly. SCaLEx 15x Linux 4.x Tracing: Performance Analysis with bcc/BPF https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/presentations/linux-4x-tracing-performance-analysis-bccbpf Brendan gave this featured talk, with an estimated 200-300 attendees in the room. Many people were surprised and impressed with the capabilities, which means that there are still too many people who don't know about BPF yet! Get out there and give talks if you can. O'Reilly Velocity - June 19-22 - Santa Clara, CA Accepted talk by Brendan, and tutorial by Sasha Netdev 2.1 - April 6-8 - Montreal, CA CFP is over, several BPF/XDP topics on the agenda Jesper: Tutorial on how to program BPF Dockercon - April 17-20 - Austin, TX Thomas: Cilium - Network and Application Security with BPF and XDP Brendan: Container Performance Analysis (not BPF specific) Other (I didn't catch the name) - Denmark Jesper: how to use bpf for ddos mitigation ===== Development ===== Brenden: Working on changing the way bpf maps are stored in the BPFModule and related classes, with the hope of having different backend implementations based on feature requirements (persistence, namespaces). The first user of the change should be the json type generator, followed by the MapTypesVisitor proposal (bcc #960). CTF Discussion kicked off regarding encoding of types. The use of CTF (compact C type format) has been mentioned before, and still seems to be the way to go. Alexei will kick off a discussion thread with some kernel folks who supposedly have some baseline code work off of. Suchakra: Working on something sip (voice protocol) related, details to come soon Some ctf (t=trace) work ongoing, depending on Babeltrace 2.0 ===== Attendees ===== Brenden Blanco Joe Stringer Marco Leogrande Suchakra Brendan Gregg Alexei Starovoitov Matteo Bertrone Mauricio Vasquez William Tu _______________________________________________ iovisor-dev mailing list iovisor-dev@lists.iovisor.org https://lists.iovisor.org/mailman/listinfo/iovisor-dev
