Abstract
At FB, we run containers with Linux, Btrfs and systemd. But how does this approach work at scale, and what is the philosophy behind this approach? In this talk, I will dive into the details of these components, including:
- Advanced details of btrfs and the benefits of a composable file system on a high-traffic network
- How we use systemd on the host and inside a container
- New Linux kernel features such as cgroupv2 and bpf
