SCAP is a set of specifications related to security compliance. The primary use-case is to ensure a system is configured according to a predefined policy. It is heavily used in government, defense and finance industries. In this talk we will explore how to use SCAP in the cloud-age to do security compliance of virtual machines and containers. We will start by installing the tools and preparing the SCAP content. Then we will proceed to scan a virtual machine for compliance, further refining the content. After that we will explore how to scan containers. In the last segment we will discuss how to get content suitable for your infrastructure. We will explore sources of content and talk about customization options. Presentation: http://bit.ly/241k6uP

As a Technical Support Engineer on the Kernel team, one of the top tools I need is kdump and crash, both used to determine the cause of a kernel crash. In this presentation, I want to give an introduction on how kdump works and how it generates vmcores and how people can use crash to debug vmcores generated by kernel crashes. I will demo some basic scenarios where kdump is useful and, if time permits, some more advanced debugging techniques. Presentation: http://bit.ly/241hYDn

Mass rebuild and mass branching modules are handled differently when compared to packages. For modules these processes totally depend on their build time and runtime requirements. This is very important for the module maintainers to understand to be prepared for mass rebuilds and mass branching. -- Recordings of talks at Flock are a community effort.
