A lot of folks are talking about containers vs. virtualization. Sometimes that makes sense, but there are also a number of cases where they're working together. I want to talk about the relationship between virtualization and containers, and some of the efforts to manage virtualization / IaaS technologies with containers to make them easier to deploy and manage. This includes efforts to containerize things like oVirt and OpenStack, as well as the best way to run KVM virtual machines in privileged containers.

Once Upon a Time, Linux distributions were the "center of the universe" for free and open source software. If you wanted to reach users with your project, the best path to do so was to have your software packaged for the "major" Linux distributions of the time. Today, the world looks a lot different with language-specific package managers, microservices and containers, and so on. What's the role of Linux distributions in today's open source world, and where do we go from here?
