In today’s technology world, operational efficiency is pivotal. It is time to focus on measuring, learning and improving different aspects of infrastructure scaling and development cycles. Not to forget the the culture of DevOps and team dynamics.
Rootconf 2015 focuses on four key aspects of DevOps and scaling infrastructure: virtualization, managing infrastructure at scale, new technologies, and team management.
This year’s edition spans two days of hands-on and conference. We are inviting proposals for:
Proposals will be filtered and shortlisted by an Editorial Panel. We urge you to add links to videos / slide decks when submitting proposals. This will help us understand your past speaking experience. Blurbs or blog posts covering the relevance of a particular problem statement and how it is tackled will help the Editorial Panel better judge your proposals.
Proposers must submit presentation drafts as part of the selection process to ensure that the talk is in line with the theme of the conference, and to help the editorial panel build a strong line-up for the event.
We will notify you about the status of your proposal within two weeks of submission.
There is only one speaker per session. Entry is free for selected speakers. As our budget is limited, we will prefer speakers from locations closer home, but will do our best to cover for anyone exceptional. HasGeek will provide a bursary to cover part of your travel and accommodation in Bangalore. Bursaries are limited and made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes or longer).
HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like it to be available under a permissive open source license. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licenses (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognize that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a sponsored session.
Last date for submitting proposals: 15th April
Shortlisting process: 31st March onwards
Pre-conference workshops: 13th and 14th May
Conference dates: 15th and 16th May
##Venue:
Rootconf will be held in the MLR Convention Centre, J P Nagar.

Live migrating virtual machines is one of the key benefits of virtualization. Knowing the constraints of networks, storage and hypervisors helps in designing and deploying workloads. This session wil help people understand what goes in migrating a virtual machine, and how they can help by getting the configuration right.
Live migrating vitual machines is an interesting ongoing area for virtualization: guests keep getting bigger (more vcpus, more vram), and demands on the uptime for guests keep getting stricter (so no long pauses between a VM migrating from one host to another).
This session will focus on QEMU/KVM as the hypervisor. QEMU/KVM is the default hypervisor for OpenStack and the only hypervisor supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7, as well as the only hypervisor supported by oVirt and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.
This session will go through the simple design from the early days of QEMU/KVM live migration, how it has been tweaked to where it is now, and where we’re going in the future. It will discuss how live migration actually works, the constraints within which it all has to work, and how the design keeps needing new thought to cover the latest requirements.
This session will show what thought needs to be put in while deploying workloads on virtual machines, and designing the surrounding infrastructure for a private cloud.
Amit has been working on FOSS since 2001, and QEMU/KVM virtualization since 2007. He’s currently employed by Red Hat. He’s worked on several areas within QEMU/KVM virtualization, and live migration is his current focus.
He has spoken extensively on several aspects of virtualization, at several avenues, including KVM Forums, devconf.cz and foss.in.
