Summary
XML is a technology/standard that should have existed years ago. It is
stunningly simple, and widely applicable.
The history of XML will be explained first to give a solid understanding
of the reasons for associated standards such as XSL and DTD's. Then the
implications for the web and also UNIX programmers will be then covered.
This talk will not go into great depth on the specifics of XML, as like
any standard or language practical hands on experience is the only way
to understand the fine details. The general points will also hopefully
keep you all interested.
Summary
The Linux Virtual Servers project is aimed at one goal - taking a
cluster of server boxes (often linux, but can be any OS) and using the
to provide a single coherent highly available service. Since there can
be many, many servers in such a cluster, building *very* large servers
is easily done.
I'll probably cover everything from how the load balancing is done in
terms of TCP/IP/ether frame packets, kernel config, flow/session
scheduling, through to building.
Should all be possible, since doing this stuff using LVS is fairly trivial :-)
