The CentOS Dojo's are a one day event, organised around the world, that bring together people from the CentOS Communities to talk about systems administration, best practises in linux centric activities and emerging technologies of note. The emphasis is to find local speakers and tutors to come together and talk about things that they care about most, and to share stories from their experiences working with CentOS in various scenarios.

The Road Ahead: The CentOS project turned 10 years old in 2013. And even though it's been very productive, interesting and enjoyable - it's the future plans that are the most exciting. In this talk I will speak about some of these exciting goals and discuss the medium to long term efforts being planned and how this might impact the existing userbase, as well as how we create inbound paths for new users to get involved and derive the maximum value from what we do.

Cloud environment with CentOS, OpenNebula and KVM: Moving to a Cloud environment is the next logical step for any Virtualization environment. This step, that is sometimes daunting to undertake, is extremely simple with the powerful combination of CentOS, OpenNebula and KVM. In this talk we will discuss the benefits of moving to a Cloud environment using OpenNebula, and the appropriate workflows to manage the infrastructure while preserving the control and optimization that of Virtualization perspective. We will discuss in more details how to optimize your virtual machines. opennebula.pdf

Yum at Scale: Yum is a powerful package manager, being able to resolve dependencies, find the packages that own a given file and much more. However, it's a tool that runs on each machine, and that could, potentially, give different results on each node of your infrastructure at different points in time. In this talk we'll discuss the different resources in Yum and the open source community to guarantee perfect reproducibility of our software installations in large scale environments. yum-scale.pdf

An introduction to Quattor and Aquilon: Originally developer for managing large sites in the LHC Computing Grid, Quattor is a highly modular and scalable system administration toolkit, that aims to control the entire life cycle of nodes in large computer fabrics. We'll give a quick overview of the main features and then focus on some use cases critical for sysadmins, like staged deployments and policy-based configuration executions. quattor-dojo.pdf

Securing CentOS for typical roles: A few simple steps and you can dramatically increase the security of your machine running CentOS; in this talk I will start with the basics, including a few Linux Internals, Selinux and move along to tuning the Kernel, managing services and iptables before taking up specific processes including ssh, bash, apache and webapps; Then finally doing an introduction to patch management, auditing tools, logs and forensics.

Managing CentOS Infrastructure Services with Viapps: Viapps is a set of Virtual Appliances based on CentOS aimed at providing Network services. We will discuss the benefits of using Virtual Appliances instead the traditional approach in the context of the Cloud paradigm. We will also discuss the Continuous Integration and Quality Assurance approach used in this project. viapps_presentacion_technical_en_v10.pdf overview_opennac_org_eng_v9.pdf

Performance tuning Xen: How to tune your Xen deployment for performance: Xen has several options and different kinds of guests, knowing when to use each kind of guest, and how to tune it's parameters for optimal performance can make a big difference.
