On Monday this week, I was afforded the distinct privilege to deliver the opening keynote at the OpenZFS Developer Summit in San Francisco. It was a beautiful little event, with a full day of informative presentations and lots of networking during lunch and breaks.
Below, you can view my slides, download the PDF, or watch the talk (starts at 31:10) and demo in its entirety.
Hopefully you'll enjoy the demo -- especially the most interesting raw tracing system new in the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Linux 4.4 kernel, something called The Berkeley Packet Filter, or "BPF" for short. I used a series of open source utilities from Brendan Gregg (from Netflix), called iovisor/bcc. Quoting the README.md on Github:
BCC is a toolkit for creating efficient kernel tracing and manipulation programs, and includes several useful tools and examples. It makes use of extended BPF (Berkeley Packet Filters), formally known as eBPF, a new feature that was first added to Linux 3.15. Much of what BCC uses requires Linux 4.1 and above.I'll follow up this post with another one, formally introducing BPF and how to install and use bcc in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, if anyone is interested...
