Fedora at Facebook: a pipeline to upstreams

This is a follow-up to last year's Facebook 😍 Fedora + Chef

Last year we presented how Facebook uses Chef to manage our desktop Linux fleet, which consists mainly of Fedora.

Facebook runs CentOS on our servers and containers, but it's not the standard CentOS - we contribute heavily to, for instance, the kernel and systemd, and drive important projects there e.g. Btrfs and the work on resource control on top of cgroupsv2.

We are thus at a unique position, with our desktop fleet, of effectively having two upstreams: Fedora proper, and the delta between Facebook CentOS and upstream RHEL, and we can utilize our desktop fleet as a test bed for proposed changes from both upstreams.

For this talk I will focus especially on one such test -- evaluating Btrfs by default -- but will also cover other potential collaboration e.g. systemd-oomd. I will also briefly cover how Fedora involvement benefits our server users -- e.g. by getting the packages we need into EPEL so they are available on our CentOS fleet.

@riecatnor that should work, thanks! To clarify, you mean EDT not EST, right? e.g. UTC-4.

@salimma Yes, it is EDT! Time zones and Daylight Savings are all sorts of fun. :sweat_smile:

Hi @salimma, please register at -> https://hopin.to/events/nest-with-fedora so I can add you as a speaker. More info to come. Thanks!

Hi @riecatnor - I'm registered now, using michel@michel-slm.name - let me know if you need anything else, thanks!

Hi! Nest with Fedora is beginning shortly. I want to thank you for speaking at this years contributor conference, your time and effort is appreciated :)

I have outlined the basic process for speakers below. If you have questions, feel free to drop them here and I will do my best to answer them before the event begins.

How to get to your session:
Enter the event
Go to Sessions tab on the left at the correct time
Click your session
Accept permissions for audio/video
You're in!

Sessions are set up as moderated by the speakers. There is a maximum of 10 people on screen at once, though people can leave the screen and different attendees can request permission to join. The speaker(moderator) will have a moderation panel on the bottom left hand side to allow or deny the request. If you feel you need someone besides yourself to help with moderation, please make sure they are registered for the event and provide their full name here. Anyone can watch and participate in the chat. Sessions will be recorded.

To share slides, there is an option at the bottom to share your screen, where you can choose the window/tab to share. To share a video with audio, you can share your screen and play the audio on loud speaker (so your mic picks it up). Screen sharing works just as other video conferencing tools (like Google Meet, Bluejeans etc).

If you have technical issues during your session, contact one of the attendees labelled "Organiser" or myself, Marie Nordin, through the platforms direct message function.

Cheers!
