Talk 1: Using Go for Distributed Systems, Ben Sigelman

Building large-scale distributed systems is a challenge in any language: what about Go makes distributed system-building easier, what makes it harder, and what won't work at all? Ben Sigelman led several large infrastructure projects at Google where he worked from 2003-2012, most notably Dapper (http://research.google.com/pubs/pub36356.html), a distributed tracing system.

His talk will address the fundamentals of healthy distributed systems and the joys and pitfalls of building them in Go. The talk will feature some fun war stories and will hopefully be somewhat interactive!

Ben Sigelman is a founder at Matter (mttr.to (http://www.mttr.to)), though in a previous life he designed and built very large distributed systems during the 9 years he spent at Google. From 2005-2008, he built an always-on distributed tracing project called Dapper to help developers make sense of systems that could involve 10K-100K distinct processes. From 2008-2012 he worked on a (sadly) confidential systems project to build a large-scale and high-availability time-series collection, storage, and query system for systems monitoring and other internal uses.

Talk 2: A Talk on Kubernetes, Patrick Reilly

Kubernetes is an open source implementation of container cluster management across multiple hosts. It uses Docker to package, instantiate, and run containerized applications and provides a basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.

Patrick Reilly from Mesosphere will bit a in-depth talk on the subject and discuss how it can serve as the foundation for high-level tools, automation systems, and API layers.
