Training Program

LISA tutorials survey the topic, then dive into the specifics of what to do and how to do it. Instructors are well-known experts in their fields, selected for their ability to teach complex subjects. Attend tutorials at LISA15 and take valuable skills back to your company or organization. New topics are woven in with old favorites to create the most comprehensive training program to date. Register now to guarantee your first choice—seating is limited.

LISA15 mini-tutorials take place Wednesday through Friday as part of the main Conference Program and offer 90-minute overviews of new and emerging technologies. These sessions are included in the registration fee for the Conference Program.

A variety of topics are being covered at LISA15. Use the icons listed below to focus on a key subject area:

Culture Monitoring/Metrics SRE Systems Engineering
Culture Monitoring & Metrics SRE & Software Engineering Systems & Network Engineering

Follow the icons throughout the training sessions below. You can combine days of conference program or workshops with training sessions to build the conference that meets your needs. Pick and choose the sessions that best fit your interests—focus on just one topic or mix and match.

Our Guarantee
If you're not happy, we're not happy. If you feel a tutorial does not meet the high standards you have come to expect from USENIX, let us know by the first break and we will seat you in any other available tutorial immediately.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
USENIX provides Continuing Education Units for a small additional administrative fee. The CEU is a nationally recognized standard unit of measure for continuing education and training and is used by thousands of organizations.

Each full-day tutorial qualifies for 0.6 CEUs. You can request CEU credit by completing the CEU section on the registration form. USENIX provides a certificate for each attendee taking a tutorial for CEU credit. CEUs are not the same as college credits. Consult your employer or school to determine their applicability.

Training Materials Now on USB Drives
Training materials will be provided to you on an 8GB USB drive. If you'd like to access them during your class, please remember to bring a laptop. There will not be any formally printed materials, but print-on-demand stations will be available.
