PdxDevOps – New Relic Join us for the November meeting of PdxDevOps. Agenda: 1) Overview of Nix and NixOS by Corbin Simpson (Acquia) Nix is a package manager designed to perfectly isolate dependencies and yield reproducible builds. The NixOS Linux distro is built on top of Nix. We'll look at how Nix relates to the modern devops environment and how it can simplify continuous integration and configuration management. 2) A short talk on building services with gRPC and Kubernetes by Kelsey Hightower (Google) Kubernetes is a scheduler framework for deploying docker containers at scale. It is based on production-proven code that has lived inside Google for years. pdxdevops is a Portland, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and systems operations, and shares practical advice on working effectively in an era of agile infrastructure, server automation and cloud computing. The group welcomes participants interested in any related products, technologies and methodologies. The group has been meeting regularly since August 2010 for presentations, demos and discussions applicable to all skill levels, from newbies and experts. Every month 15-35 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for devops – join us! |

PdxDevOps – New Relic Join us for the Feburary meeting of PdxDevOps. Agenda: 1) Overview of Nix and NixOS by Corbin Simpson (Acquia) (second try) Nix is a package manager designed to perfectly isolate dependencies and yield reproducible builds. The NixOS Linux distro is built on top of Nix. We'll look at how Nix relates to the modern devops environment and how it can simplify continuous integration and configuration management. 2) "Creating Efficient Docker Images" by Isaac Stefanek Docker can do many great things for the continuous integration and delivery process. One of the benefits that can be achieved using Docker is speeding up build and deploy times. Creating Docker files that maximize this benefit can take some work, especially if you are dealing with a bloated technology stack. We'll take a look at some common best practices that will have your Docker builds running at warp speed. The examples will be focused on building NodeJS applications, but many of the concepts will be universal for any Dockerized app. pdxdevops is a Portland, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and systems operations, and shares practical advice on working effectively in an era of agile infrastructure, server automation and cloud computing.

PdxDevOps – New Relic Join us for the April meeting of PdxDevOps. Agenda: 1) Carl Hall, Cloudability Deployment as a Feature From single service deployment across a few instances to several services in multiple environments over hundreds of instances. We'll take a look at the evolution of a deployment process that has followed the growth of Cloudability over its 5 year history. I'll talk about the tools we've chosen, decisions we've worked through and the automation that drives it all. pdxdevops is a Portland, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and systems operations, and shares practical advice on working effectively in an era of agile infrastructure, server automation and cloud computing.

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Monthly Meeting: Ilya Chashchin on NixOS – Portland State University Fourth Avenue Building (FAB) Room FAB 86-01 NixOS represents a radical reimagining of the traditional Linux ecosystem—one built on the principles of declarative configuration, immutability, and reproducibility. By using a purely functional package manager and configuration language, NixOS promises system consistency, atomic upgrades, reliable rollbacks, and the ability to precisely define both development and production environments. However, these advantages come at the cost of adopting new paradigms and tooling, including the functional Nix language, which can pose a steep learning curve—especially for users familiar with conventional Linux distributions and workflows. This talk provides a high-level overview of the Nix and NixOS ecosystem through the eyes of a relatively new Linux user with a little over a year of hands-on Nix experience. It aims to demystify the core concepts behind Nix, outline how its model differs from traditional package management, and explore practical use cases like reproducible dev environments, system configuration, and multi-machine deployments. Along the way, we’ll discuss the tradeoffs involved in adopting Nix—from cognitive overhead to ecosystem maturity—and help you determine whether Nix or NixOS might be a good, great, or downright painful choice for your use case. No prior experience with Nix required. Bio: Ilya has been administering small-scale on-premise Linux environments for nearly four years, both professionally and personally, beginning with a custom Linux deployment on a proprietary NAS to better meet his needs. With a background in computer science, he is especially interested in programmatic approaches to system administration and infrastructure automation. Outside of work, Ilya enjoys exploring topics in software engineering, staying current with the FOSS ecosystem, experimenting in his home lab, and modding computer games. |
