Founder and CEO at RackN
Rob Hirschfeld is the Founder and CEO of RackN, and has been involved in OpenStack since the earliest days, with a focus on ops and building the infrastructure that powers cloud and storage. He's also co-Chair of the Kubernetes Cluster Ops SIG and a four term OpenStack board member. The RackN team has deep knowledge of Kubernetes (deploying it on clouds and metal), OpenStack (created the Crowbar project), and cloud native architecture (migrated Digital Rebar to be micro-services). Rob has deep ops knowledge of both platforms AND experience with cloud native migrations. He's also a regular speaker at OpenStack Summits about items including SDN, interop and running Kubernetes.

Panel: Do it like a Hyperscaler: Engineering Containers for security and hostile multitenancy
Location: Mission City Ballroom, B4
Join us for a spirited discussion engineering containers for security, touching on such topics as:
All Access, Conference, Startup Conference or Enterprise Conference pass required to attend this session.
Avoiding Infrastructure At Rest - the Power of Immutable Containers
Location: Mission City Ballroom, B5
Keeping up with patches has never been more critical. For hardware, that's... hard. What if servers were deployed 100% ready to run without any need for remote configuration or access? What if we were able to roll a complete rebuild of an entire application stack from the BIOS up in minutes? Those are key concepts behind a cloud and container deployment pattern called "immutable infrastructure." It's called immutable because the servers are deployed from container images produced by CI/CD process and destroyed after use instead of being reconfigured. It's a container and cloud pattern that has finally made it to physical.
In this talk, we'll cover the specific process and its advantages over traditional server configuration. Then we'll dive deeply into open tools and processes that make it possible to drive immutable containers into your own infrastructure. The talk will include live demos and will discuss process and field challenges that attendees will likely face when they start implementation at home. We'll also cover the significant security, time and cost benefits of this approach to make pitching the idea effective.
