We have 2 Topics this month Sensu and ZFS

Thom Duran: Sensu

Abstract:
Sensu is an open source project that makes a custom monitoring system 
easy to configure. The Sensu stack consists of RabbitMQ, Redis, and 
Sensu itself. While Sensu is easy to setup and configure, high 
availability and scalability is still a concern. We will discuss the 
archticture that allows for high availability that easily scales as needed.

Bio:
Thom Duran is a Phoenix native who has worked at GoDaddy for 7 years in 
multiple roles. He currently works as a Site Reliability/Zero Touch 
Engineer focusing on monitoring and automation.

Kevin Bowling: ZFS

Abstract: OpenZFS is a state of the art cross-platform filesystem for 
Linux, FreeBSD,  Illumos, and Mac OS X.  This talk will detail how it 
differs from traditional UNIX file systems, the current status for the 
different supported operating systems, an introduction to the userland 
control programs, an overview of hardware considerations for system 
builders, and a brief look at the internal structure.

Bio:
Kevin is a systems developer at Limelight Networks and has experience 
with a wide range of UNIX implementations. Current interests include OS 
build and release engineering for large scale clusters like Limelight's 
FreeBSD footprint.

See you there,
Brian Cluff
