Open Source Summit North America 2017

What comes next, after we've containerized everything? In this brave new world, where everything is a cloud, what we need from the operating system is changing radically. Not only does the OS need to be smaller and more nimble, it needs to be vastly lower-administration. Dozens to hundreds of hosts per admin is the norm now; in the future, everyone will be administering thousands. Getting there without working admins to death requires a key ingredient: immutability.

In this BoF, Josh will go over what's been done to implement immutable infrastructure at all layers of the new application stacks through Atomic Host and other projects, and what work remains to be done.
