Presenters: Urvashi Mohnani, Ashley Cui (Red Hat)
Session Type: Presentation (25min)
Topics: Containers on alternate OSes, Podman, Podman-desktop, Kubernetes
Session Details:
By now, you’ve all seen the shiny new Podman Desktop UI that makes it easy for anyone to manage their containers, create images, and even deploy to Kubernetes, on any operating system! Underneath the hood, the Podman team has made several improvements to support Podman Desktop, and doing so, has implemented features that make Podman for CLI dwellers even better.
We’ll take a look at changes in Podman machine that make the experience of linux containers in non-linux environments even smoother. We will further discuss updates to the kube generate and play commands that allow developers to easily transition their applications from a single node environment to a kubernetes cluster. These new features will improve your containerization workflow, regardless of whether you prefer a UI or stick to the CLI!

![Research Days 2022: Caching Heterogeneous Stuff in Heterogeneous Places
Caching is a classic optimization technique ubiquitous both within single hosts as well as in large distributed systems like CDNs, storage systems, databases, and data center networks. Classic solutions usually involve the omnipresent Least-Recently-Used (LRU) mechanism and its derivatives. These solutions are usually workload oblivious, and changing their configuration requires expert analysis of the system and the workload.
Recent advanced caching approaches that go well beyond LRU, which are gaining popularity, are self-adjusting and exhibit improved performance in various scenarios. We are harnessing some of the underlying design concepts to present novel caching frameworks that we are currently working on. These frameworks take into account request heterogeneity, and perform proactive caching decisions (a.k.a. speculative prefetching). We will be highlighting the design of algorithms and policies that are both dynamic and self-adjusting and consider their benefits in prominent storage system use cases.
