Reggae is built upon CBSD and uses it as a layer to create and configure jails and virtual machines, configure network and to some degree interact with firewall. Reggae also makes creating of development environment fast and easy. It enables developers to use jails or virtual machines for development so that the host system is not polluted with project dependencies. It supports different provisioners: shell, ansible, puppet, chef and salt stack. When not in development mode, Reggae makes maintaining of production easy with helper commands like provisioning already deployed jail. This talk will cover all features of Reggae and some features of CBSD and FreeBSD that make Reggae possible.

CBSD team was working hard to bring you not just VM/jail management, but to also make integrating existing cloud software easy. This talk will describe new features of CBSD as well as some of the new projects around it: some are done, and some are in implementation phase.

CBSD can manage bhyve, Xen, VNET and non-VNET jails, setup your network environment and storage, but that's not all. There are numerous projects using CBSD as a base like ClonOS (WEB interface), Reggae for DevOps tasks (with support for all provisioning alternatives out there), Android emulation and Kubernetes management of CBSD/bhyve cluster. As CBSD have support for external modules, extending with custom functionalities and features is easier than ever. There are even some projects that are not yet finished, like CBSDng, which will provide colorized shell with completion and alternative WEB interface.

This presentation is about tuning FreeBSD OS to give more in the sense of real time audio, possibilities of such a studio and how to make one

With preemptive real time kernel and base system which is relatively small, FreeBSD makes the perfect platform for music production studio. With OSS and Virtual OSS, routing, which is one of the most demanding tasks of any studio, is easy, big number of channels is handled efficiently and support for LV2 plugins in recent year became excellent. Today, if we ignore proprietary solutions, FreeBSD is at least at the level of Linux in music studios, and in some cases it's even better, especially if used PC is older or not powerful. Presenter will demonstrate his own studio from the view of FreeBSD and talk about what is good and what can be improved.

CBSD is able to manage bhyve, jails and xen on a cluster of hosts while keeping dependencies reasonably low. It is able to configure network interfaces and firewall rules dynamically, whether you use PF, IPFW or IPFILTER. This talk will cover main CBSD features, implementation details, future plans and growth of CBSD as well as ecosystem around it.

Management of Xen, VMs and jails on FreeBSD becomes increasingly tedious job especially with technologies like ZFS and VNET (just to mention few) which add on the number of alternative ways one can run FreeBSD based infrastructure. Combining that with multiple options for a firewall and the requirement for VMs to connect to jails and vice verse, makes FreeBSD very versatile. It is also very hard to choose the right set of tools. CBSD strives to unify management of jails and VMs while not taking away any options, and keeping UI and code simple as possible.
