LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.
The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.
Join Us At LISA Build
Sunday, November 9, 8:30 am–5:00 pm
NEW! You may have built enterprise networks before, but have you ever built one in 16 hours or less? Sign up for LISA Build, and learn from the experts on building and establishing a production network from the ground up. You'll come in with your skills (at any level), we'll match you with an area
and lab tech, and you and your team will construct the hardware and software for the rest of
the conference in a hands-on instructional environment. This is not a class, it doesn't have a syllabus, but it does have a great final exam at the end: move packets for LISA.
There are some restrictions:
You need to be registered for LISA14 to participate in LISA Build.
You will need to be at the venue, ready to start on the morning of November 9.
If you are attending LISA14, and would like to be considered for LISA Build please send a brief email to [email protected] explaining why you would like to participate, what your areas of expertise are, and what technologies you might be willing to learn.
