As Developers / Managers we almost everyday think and talk about faster / shorter Software Development cycles to increase our market presence/reach. Is there a way to measure how fast we are ?
Speaking of cycle: In Cycling a term “Cadence” is used, which simply means the speed at which you pedal. Cyclists measure this in revolutions per minute, or rpm. Similar to Cadence in Cycling, the cadence of a software team is measured by how fast and how frequent you can take your software live. Can you do this on every day, every week ? Do you have the tools for the same to Scale UP ?
While we try to improve the cadence of the team we have many challenges around Infrastructure Scaling, Test Integration, Configuration Management, Monitoring for uptime, Log Management, Security of Servers, Dev-Test-Prod setups, Maintaining single source of truth for your assets, etc… And how does these changes impact team dynamics ? If you have adopted some strategies have you noticed that your team has improved? do you need more QAs or do you need more sysadmins ? do you really need those many routers, servers or backups?
Rootconf is a conference which tries to address some of the challenges we face when we fine tune our infrastructure to be able to appropriately respond to a business need, while we Scale UP our Cloud or Web Infrastructure.
Developing a good Continuous Integration/Deployment/Testing/Delivery strategy is critical to improve the cadence of your team. Infrastructure and DevOps is an upfront investment human, time & money. The challenge always is whether you’re willing to make that investment right away, or in the future at a much higher cost and effort.
Rootconf is a conference which will help you to plan and develop a strategy map for infrastructure and devops. It will show you the building blocks for reaching a strategy for Infrastructure Scaling, Continuous Integration, Deployment and Delivery.
Rootconf is targeted at individuals, teams and companies that are seeking to scale the effectiveness of their developer teams and performance of their web stacks, thereby increase the Cadence of their software delivery.
Organizations which need a CI and CD strategy to achieve the above will find a substantial headstart in doing so, by attending Rootconf.

Need more IT infrastructure? Always!
Yet, the public cloud need not be the only option for your infrastructure needs. Learn how oVirt and Gluster can provide a scale out alternative.
This talk will cover how organizations can maximize available physical resources to accomodate the ever changing IT requirements, using Gluster for storage and oVirt for virtualization needs.
oVirt is an open source tool used to create/manage virtual datacenters. oVirt manages virtual machines, storage options and virtualized networks utilizing an easy to use web interface (see www.ovirt.org for additional info)
Gluster is an open source distributed file system that can scale out to store multiple petabytes of data. (see www.gluster.org)
This talk will cover how gluster can be used with oVirt to set up a scale-out data center.
Audience can
Anyone using Linux and interested in managing VMs using their existing hardware.
Works at Red Hat on storage and virtualization software.
Though working with software for the past 16 years, a recent entrant to the world of Linux and open source and enjoying it
