Talk 1: Canonical on moving from Python to Go and architecting for reliability

Together with a few of his more senior colleagues from Canonical, David will talk about the rewrite of Juju from Python to Go, including details on the refactoring process plus the gains they've seen. They will also address how they've architected Juju to reliably deploy services in a distributed environment where they expect everything to fail.
